    Background picture on an iPad + resizing.

    Why can't you set a photo as a background picture? Well you can, but it is so uber zoomed in, you can't make out what it is. tried resizing it, it pings back to uber zoomed in. Turn off the perspective zoom, it STILL won't do it! How can I have a photo as a background, and have it as the...

    Limited Edition cars

    One thing that I love about some cars are the limited edition versions that make them special. The trophy, the r27, and so on. This is one thing that Renault got right before they lost their way with the new Clio's. (seen one in the flesh at the dealer, and I really didn't like it, sorry!)...

    Two more mods

    Well, for now, the wait is over. Believe you me, there has been a delay in choosing these last two because of the remaining people left to pick from. Everyone who was in the final list was chosen for what they have done for the site etc, and it was difficult, and very close. To those who...

So, after the new intake of people have settled in, I will be parting company with my Red username, and hanging up my ban hammer. When I think how quiet the site was when...
