I thought it might be a good idea to let others know who we are! Please be truthful! I can think of bozo types of fictional people without your help! I'd love to know a little more about the people that I share info with and get help from!

How 'bout it??

1) What's your real name (some may not want to do this).
2) What do you do for a living?
3) Married. Single. Family?
4) Hobbies, interests, favorite recreation time activities.
5)Your equipment list.
6)What famous actor do you look like the most?
7)Maybe post a pic of yourself in this thread. If you don't know how, email me and I'll show you how.

Ric

Gregorious...

Uhm... where are your answers?

I've got a scanner. I just don't seem to be able to capture an image of myself. Heck, I don't even seem to cast shadows on a sunny day.

If I DO get it figured out how to make a picture of me (I might just draw one), it would be nice if you'd just explain the posting process in this thread. Surely you can put some characters around HTML code so that it doesn't actually work in a browser.

Dave

As far as I know, the only way to post pictures here is to create an HTML link to the image, which means you'd have to have a website already, or allow links to go directly to your PC... (which is a little frightening). ... Mike

Enjoy snooping here at Remote Central and have picked up some super information. Thanks DT!

guess who, What do we win if we guess right?

Brian, what year Z's did you have? I'm partial to the 3rd generation myself (82-92), but mostly I'm just partial to my car. It is the best car.... ever. Have I mentioned that?

tim

Tim, they were both 91's. I don't care much for 4th gen. Camaros. You can't see the front end of the car from the driver's seat, and those half-cocked wipers look like crap.

Brian, preach it, brotha. My dad has a 4th gen Formula. I can't tell where that car stops and starts when I drive it. I do like that it's a 6 speed though, as well as the little luxuries that come with newer cars.

My Z is maroon, which I don't think is a very common color for them. I've seen a few RSs in the same color, but never another Z. You can see pics at [Link: members.nbci.com].

I've already started saving for my brand new, not even created yet 2004 Camaro. I don't know what the 5th generation will hold, but I'm sure I'll like it. Apparently they're taking cues from the 1st generation. Hopefully they'll do this better than the Rustang (Mustake) did.
