....oops! Thought it must be your car, given your avitar .... my bad. Still, does it really need enlarged? (Sorry might be a poor choice of words)

As far as I know they are both of John's car.

The first photo is the rear suspension, frame and exhaust in 'normal' condition before he washed it. (Further details here but be warned it's scary.)

The second photo is the front suspension after the rare occasion of a full 'Bolus Style Detail', well not quite as John doesn't have OCD like Bolus. (Further details here for comparison.)

Can't use external images yet - though I'm sure Ross'd happily upload a selection of new icons to the image folder.

Nice one.  :tu:

***EDIT***

By the way, what's the significance of the title 'Deronda' for Bruce and me?

Anyone making it over 7000 posts gets upgraded from a "Supercharged Atom" to a "Deronda"...

Is this a ploy to make me start deleting posts so I drop below 7000?

Being named after a Non-Atom car is probably the way to do, it especially when it's as ugly as this:-

It looks like what Wanna-Atom was contemplating with a few bent scaffolding tubes knocked up in his garage.  :td:

And there was me thinking the Style Police had confiscated his pipe bender.

Obviously not.  ::)

I was thinking it would be quite nice if we had an Atom image that gradually grew from just a few small bits up to a fully built Atom.

Anyhow, if someone lets me have some new icons I can upload them so that we can set them up to replace the star ratings.

To be honest, I wasn't aware that moderators had access to modify the 'star level' scheme so I need to check that.

Cheers, Ross.

Here's a Icon that would work just fine http://forum.atomclub.com/index.php/top ... l#msg97371

Moderators can't modify the rankings that I know of. Be interesting to find out how Alec did it with the smilies to replace the stars, or was that you or bruce?

'twas indeed Andy!

All mods can change it - though I suspect Ross may change that soon, and strip me of my powers - taking me one step further away from world domination  :(

Alec - I can change it back to the standard star system if you like - but you'll lose some of your newfound uniqueness!

Not ALL Mods, I used to be able to see where, never messed with it as it's global to the board from what I saw then,  but  Ross made a change to the system awhile back and it's no longer an option for me (unless I'm not seeing it).
