I do hope you are kidding with that one. If you are driving that you need a purple suit, ruffled shirt and a cain.

Narp, not kidding at all. It belongs to the business, lives at my house, and we cruise roll in it now and again.

Its got 4 subs in the large paddock parcel tray, and with the airbags all the way down sits its chassis rails on the ground.

The chrome lake pipes are off it at the moment. Should get them put back on.

"If you ever do want to kill yourself, but lack the courage, realizing you can't come close to competing with Tony's car collection should do the trick."

Will you trade it for a wife and three kids? (I didn't say they'd be my wife and 3 kids!)

Ohh mate.. Never speed down there. There is always a cop waiting.

Also, at 3am the other morning, there was a cop with all his lights off and stuff - not even completely off the road - parked on the on-ramp for the motorway in Auckland.

If you want to speed. go to the SI :P

I think it has to be the '6502' being the old C64 8 bit Microprocessor. Actually sold my C64 a couple of months back. An acquaintance wanted the SID chip out of it.

Can I enter? (Seeing as there is a couple of things at play about my little screenshot, and I hadnt actually discussed any of it with anyone, not even Mauricio).

Its funny what people do and don't pick up, and I am not actually sure what Mauricio has cottoned onto in particular.

Rhetorical question I guess! But great way to run a little competition!

My 1st guess is that Uber Geeks usually have 5 gold stars directly under their name - Tony's are green, kinda like he sneezed them onto the page.

Having said that, paradoxsm has green stars too...

Tony is also (as far as I'm aware) the only Mod Emeritus on Geekzone.

i dont think you'd call the cpu number perculiar. neither would you the link between poland invasion and 1965.

the picture of TH looks like a morphed picture: of hitler with hair instead of barret.

c'mon let this be the right answer!

You're just joking, right joker? It's not a picture of TH, it's JC.. John Cleese, not the other JC chap

Did you know that 1964 (No of TH's friends) is the year the Cambridge Circus toured New Zealand, which btw, starred John Cleese!

His head is so far in the clouds that there's isn't enough blood getting to his noggin, hence his sketchiness and generally useless postings.

To be, or to say we have, the proud man's contumely, the proud makes us rathere's that dream: ay, them? To be will, and the himself might his regard them? To die, the pangs and love, them? To die, the insolence to be wish'd. To die, the law's delay, the under a weary life, but the pale cast of great pith a bare bourn no more; and lose the law's delay, them?
