White. RonTyler, I was mistaken, Roger Moore was not in the original casino Royale (which was a farcical comedy)-though it DID have something of an all star cast including Woody Allen, Orson Welles, Peter Sellers, and Ursula Andress...here is a link to imdb if it helps you locate this "film":http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061452/ Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat?

Suggestion:Post your photo album link in your sig.
veritech-z replied to 240zV8's topic in Non Tech Board
Navigating the photo gallery is kind of a pain sometimes, when you change to alphabetical it sometimes disregards that when you change pages. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong...I think it would be cool if it was in the drop down on your screen name as well. -
another hybrid, Baja bug with VG30 power

Fisher Buggies is a local V-dub shop here in Tampa that has a lot of that cool stuff. I know they were selling rotary trans adapters and so on. www.fisherbuggies.com this is from their photo gallery, a new beetle, but you should be able to tell why I posted it: -
I use Adaware, CCleaner, and Avast!, but since my wife is using my laptop in the other room for pre-black friday deal hunting, I really can't tell you what kind of running processes it's got going.

Evil's car is so over the top, I love it! Also, the IMSA truck would be pretty rad to cruise around in! The paint reminds me of Oldestzguy's old car.

Hayashi wheels are dope! Those AR LeMans wheels look a lot like the 4-spoke work wheels...https://rhdjapan.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=1539 has some of those for CHEAP ($75 per wheel)! What's the deal with the 710? I've never seen one of those on the road before...Were those 4 cylinder cars, or did they use the big dog L engines? Reminds me of the cars from the first Mad Max movie that the police were driving.

I've got a pentium III with 256 meg of Ram, windows XP with a 20 gig hard drive. Hardware is all stock. It came running XP, so I doubt it's that. I've never had it apart. This problem survived an operating system reload, so I suspect it's a hardware issue at this point, unless it's a really tenacious virus...when I say you can hear it thinking, you can hear it clicking angrily at you, just waiting for it's chance to suck you in and force you to play games against the master control program...

Here is a Tommy Kaira ZZ II, the one in Ernie's video has similarities, but also differences...now that I see it from the front, I'm not so sure...but the back looks about right, notice the tail lights both here, and when the white car in the video is backing up. and note the powerplant:
-
this is a Zonda, I don't think that's what we're looking at... Look at the back, the distinctive exhaust (or lack of the distinctive exhaust in the case of this white car) give it away... It seems my link didn't work, let me try to find another picture of a Tommy Kaira ZZ II...

I have a similar problem with my laptop when surfing with Firefox. It just turns off the moniter, and it can't be brought back to life. YOu can still here the fan running, and the processor "thinking", but no go on the monitor. Have to turn it off and restart. It won't do it if I'm using internet explorer, and it doesn't do it if I'm not online. It did do it once when I was trying to use photoshop offline, but I've since stopped using it, since my laptop is underpowered for photo editing anyway. So you guys are really thinking the video card wrong? what's it doing, overheating?

What's great is that if you go to a real photography store, you can get used top dollar film equipment for peanuts now because of it's percieved obsolescence! However, it's unarguable that digital is really convenient for the casual shooter in terms of immediate knowledge of picture quality (ew, that one sucks, everybody smile again!) and for a situation like this, where people want to load pictures up to the internet without having to scan them in first. I tried to scan a drawing in to email to B_sosick last night at 2400dpi, and my computer can't even load up the picture! It came out at 233MB, and I've only got 256 meg of RAM! So I convinced my wife we really needed a gig of ram, and ordered an upgrade...that was pretty off topic...what was I talking about? Oh yeah, medium format film cameras: They take awesome pictures! If you've never seen one, go check one out!

chef's dad: "It was about time I realized that girl scout was 8 stories tall, and a monster from the tri-assic era! I said: Dammit Monsta! We work hard for our $3.50 around here, we're not just giving it away!" chef's mom: "I gave 'em a dollar..." chef's dad: "You gave him a dollar?! No wonder he keeps coming around here asking for tree fiddy!"

nope, my scanner tray is smaller than the picture. I took that with an Olympus OM10 35mm SLR. I actually drew the UFO on an overhead projector slide with a sharpie, and took the picture through that, and then I blew it up in the dark room and only printed the piece of it you can see there so you couldn't see my hand holding the slide in front of the lense.

I was watching Knight Rider one day, and there was a girl reporter that gets blown up by an attack helicopter for spying on a warehouse in a white 280z. I think it's the first Goliath episode, but don't hold me to that...

Showcars Bodyparts is always selling a Monza IMSA whale tail on ebay for like $150 or so...I think it would look nuts on a z. what else ya got, ernie? Keep em coming! OTM, the msa hood isn't like that anymore, it looks like there are just slots cut into it now if the pictures are anything to go by.
-
I think it's a Tommi Kaira model, but I can't recall the designation...Pretty sure that it's available in Gran Turismo 4, so I'll have to check when I get back... ZZ II, does this look right?
-
I really like that gold wide body you did. Is that a modified hood in the first picture, or is it a piece that was for sale at one time? I really want a hood like that, but I'm thinking I want a carbon fiber one with long aluminum louvered panels riveted on it.

Doc, I thought you guys would be eating Oryx this year! I'm frying a turkey, hopefully I won't burn the house down! Happy Thanksgiving!

MILF, if your lucky she may have a DILF, and you can get both! (though probably not at the same time...) Casino Royale (that just came out) or Casino Royale (with Roger Moore)? edit: sorry Ron, missed that one while posting...F1, though I prefer WRC to both of those

Aw come on buddy, at least 900 of your posts open up with "We all know I'm no expert or anything, but here's my opinion..." This time you sounded both competent AND confident! Just a little New York compliment, that's all! All Mike ribbing aside, something to think about when looking at DSLR's vs point and shoot: DSLR's give you generally more frames per second, with faster off to ready to shoot times. My D80 will shoot 3 frames per second up to 100 frames (though the flash seems to reduce this time), and has a sub-1 second off-to-first frame time. If you already have money invested in a lower Dnumber of nikon (D70/50 etc), the D80 uses SD memory cards (2gig will give you just under 600pics AT 10.2 MEGAPIXEL, in the multi-thousands at a lesser resolution) instead of compact flash. So unless you are dying for the megapixel count, it probably isn't worth it to upgrade to a D80 body from a D70.

Anybody seen those "messing with bigfoot" commercials? I love those things...Speaking of photo hunting, I took a sweet UFO pic, anybody want to see it? No photoshop or anything!

I got my D80 with the upgraded lens, it brought the price of the camera from 1099 to 1299 from www.ritzcamera.com. the lens was on back order for about a month, we ordered it pretty much the day it came out, otherwise it would have been the D70S. I still haven't gone through the manual to figure out changing the auto settings to manual, it's my first DSLR. Prior to that, I was shooting 35mm with an Olympus OM10 and I'd fool around with a completely manual (no battery or anything! even has a spring wind self timer!) Zenit E that I got in Paris for like 30 euro. It's a Russian camera from the 50's/60's. I like it, but it's hard to get the exposures right with no light meter. Kind of have to guess a little bit. I can't take a good picture with a digital Point and Shoot to save my life! something about not having a real viewfinder and having to stand there like a tool with the camera at arms length turns me off to the majority of them...having to use that little screen is the worst thing to happen to picture taking if you ask me. Of course, nobody asks me... Mike, you finally sounded like you knew what you were talking about! Rock on man!

Me and a friend used to "tag" the drive at USF every so often...it started to get pretty bad, there were spots in the parking lot where the brand new asphault was melted down to the original surface...

That was a weak 1500th post...you could have at least included a link to a picture or something....
