From the 1000km of Donington Le Mans series race a coupla weeks ago [ok so they're not road cars 
] there's a Porsche, a Ferrari, an Aston and a Spyker.
] there's a Porsche, a Ferrari, an Aston and a Spyker.I'm cheating slightly since I took these photos last Sunday at Donington, but here we have the first 997 Turbo I've seen on the road, some sort of old Lancia that I'll need Tristan to identify for me, Andretti's old JPS Lotus, and from a few weeks ago [also at Donington] an extremely rare Merkur 2.3 turbo pinto Sierra.
Sure, publically released skins are uploaded in lots of places, these threads are probably the main ones.
If you want to make your own, give this a read. N.B it also includes complete instructions on how to use custom skins.
Have fun

What I love about this thread is Kev's ability to get a whole load of folks to jump on a bandwagon pretty much guaranteed to make them look like total idiots without even hinting that he intends to make himself look similarly stupid.

You've all forgotten the Holden Monaro badged as a Vauxhall in the U.K, that's got plenty of bang for your buck.
Generally speaking I'd agree that GM Vauxhall/Opel's offerings are pretty poor when compared to the likes of Toyota, Volkswagen or even perhaps Renault. Some of the performance models suffer from such bad torque steer that they're plain dangerous.

50mm [+/- 1mm] with the clamp fully opened
Yes there are only 2 clamps on the wheel, the gap between them is 187mm and the clamps themselves are 20mm wide. The wheel itself is evidently designed to be mounted to a straight edge.
You may have to come up with an imaginative way of using a flat piece of wood like a bookshelf in conjunction with your desk to be able to mount it securely.
Why does it say "almost new" next to "Round one broadcast in your sig" ?
Daft question I know, but it kinda makes me think of low mileage - one careful lady owner :P

One will try one's Radio 4 best for you Becky, I'm usually able to keep the broad Derbyshire inflection out of my speech when I'm concentrating on sounding like Mr Public School boy.
As above but don't forget to post a video of it with you commentating so that we can all suggest you sound like a transexual heifer who's just got out of bed and isn't feeling the love for what they're doing.
Radio 4 version - Kindly consider the amount of effort involved in making such a production before you provoke a negative reaction with ill considered and destructive comments such as those you posted.
Anglo Saxon version p*** off...
What I have uploaded photographs of is a pre-production model that I have had on pre-release beta test for Logitech for about 8 weeks now.
I have a 2 year non disclosure agreement with Logitech which prevents me from providing opinions about using it or reviewing it for public consumption. Sorry but pictures are all I'm able to provide you with, without breaking that NDA, which is evidently not something I will do. Since I'm not the only one who reads this forum who has one, perhaps somebody not obligated to keep quiet might give you the information you want.

No...I'm not in the market for a kidney
Five feet seven is short for a bloke, the average height of a man in the U.K is about 6feet [1.8m] a good 5 inches [12cm] taller than Hammond.
Clarkson's about 6 feet 3 which is why Hammond looks so short next to him.

Presuming you're speaking to me, then they're the standard ones with a gold dot painted into the middle, and some blurring/shading with photoshop. I retrospect I think they're too shiny.
This one's had a fair sprinkling of the old photoshop fairy dust.
Yes, I'm quite sure you're right about the copyright part, but equally if the issue was taken particularly seriously then big sites like brandsoftheworld.com would have been whacked with cease and desist orders by now. The fact that they haven't is in my opinion proof that the notion of public domain does carry some weight.
My name is pretty common, I share it with 2 professional footballers, 1 assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and a former Olympic champion sprinter, and those are only the versions of me in the public eye. Although I shouldn't be worried about people finding the real me through the pages of this website, especially not when lycos white pages makes such a good job of doing that without my consent or knowledge, I just feel somehow "comforted" by the anonymity of this screen name. I suppose much of that is to do with the fact that I've used it so often, for so long and in so many places. I just don't associate real names with videogames I suppose. I've nothing against people who do, but as I said earlier I'd object if the issue became forced, although I do take the point raised by various people about the "need" to have sensible names for the purposes of race reports.
It's well worth a watch, it's been on T.V in the U.K many times over the years, it kinda reminds me of the Wacky Races cartoons I used to love so much when I was little.
I've used this screen name everywhere except my MSN tag for as long as I've used the internet. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter what people call themselves, as long as they're consistent about it. How they behave is far more important, and I wouldn't support any move to remove people's choice about whether or not they can "hide" behind the anonymity of a nickname, since at the risk of being rude, that strikes me as taking it all a bit more seriously than I'd like to.
Cases like that normally arise because the trademark holder feels that the trademark in question is being used out of context, in a context which directly competes with them, or in a context which they are not happy with.
It is true that using any copyrighted material without permission is illegal, and that the internet has done much to make people believe that it's ok to just grab any image you want and put it to whatever use you choose, which is simply not true.
In the case of parts/tuning/racing logos, since you can buy a branded sticker to put onto your car,thus the issue becomes more clouded, since you're paying the sticker vendor for the logo not the trademark holder. It is therefore the case that logos and brand stickers available for sale are usually considered to be in the public domain, and thus provided that they are used unaltered, litigation is unlikely.
The whoel issue of the use of imagery is complex to say the least, and it is very difficult as a member of the public to decide what is public domain and what is not. Suffice it to say that the original poster is largely correct when he points out that many car skins posted here infringe copyright restrictions, but the fact that several legal companies are not using this section of the forum to provide themselves with work suing digital artists, means that we're talking about very low level infractions, and in many cases the companies whose logos have been appropriated for use are probably not actually bothered, and would probably only take interest if they thought the skins were being sold for profit.
However if you want to be sure about whether your skin is legal then don't use any logos you didn't make yourself, not even the LFS brands, since I don't remember a post from the devs saying "Hey it's open house on our artwork".
As for me, I'll carry on considering that pretty much any brand is fair game, provided I don't mess with it, and I sincerely doubt I'll ever be called to task for having such an attitude.
What those of you living in the U.K and in full time education need to do if you're really that bothered is invent a project for which you can make a skin or skins. As long as the work was created for educational purposes copyright rules do not apply, and you can freely distribute or even publically show your works provided that you don't make any money, through sales and that any public showing in the context of a gallery is a free exhibition. [preferrably at an educational institution[

I agree tbh, half the pointless junk that's in folk's sigs on this board wind me up, but because I don't have a bookmark for inferno I actually do use the link in Tristan's sig on the odd occasion I want it.
I'm all for links to team sites/useful community sites and a bit of humour/waffle's s'ok too, it's just that some people don't seem to apply their "common" when they're thinking about what to bombard us with next.

FZR Lancia 037.
Missing the correct Corsican rally plate cos I could only find the 2006 WRC version. To be honest I'm not sure it would look right on a slick shod track car anyway, but obviously you should add one if you want to.
As requested also FZR with Martini style striping and nothing else.
