    Default something slightly different

    Wow, beautiful photos!

    I thought I'd provide some even more "abstract" photos, give everyone a bit of a laugh.





    Cheers

    Ralph,

    Tell me about it - another example of how computers have bastardised our lives! [Moan, whinge...]



    Surely, though, a computer could be programmed to design a car as stylish as those Alfas?

    After all, they're merely machines and slaves to our commands...
