Where are people finding these good avatars?


Recommended Posts

Have just spent ages trawling Motorgraphs. Good stuff.

 

Must admit, I'm not keen on overly graphic avatars. I come here to look at shite cars, not women's fluffy bits.

 

I suppose I should make a post on this thread as it's me who's provoked this discussion.

 

I started posting my somewhat naughty avatars because I thought it would be a bit of a giggle and I never meant to cause any offence and make Autoshite NSFW.

 

I've only ever used risque avatars that have also contained top-notch shite in the background and I really believe that whenever I upload a new one most shiters look to see what car it is before they notice the nude woman.

 

I've yet to recieve a PM asking me to tone them down but I'm happy to do so if the Autoshite opinion says so.

 

I vote no 8)

 

You're avatars are great but you didn't say where you get them. Scans from old Fiesta readers wives? :D

55blokes one of the Renner 25 is excellent.

 

My avatar is my own. Its of a decaying Sherpa that sits up a track near a house my folks rent on the Island Of Arran.

 

Thank you! I took it myself too. :wink:

I like BMC Dan's AMC Eagle one, mainly for the Eagle.

I fear monkeyboy's new (?) one is going to cause difficulty for some people at work and others at home... :(

 

Can't everyone go back to having pictures of local papers/cereal packets or something?

yes, visitors this afternoon in my house, including a 7 or 8 year old girl, i was reading the youtube thread, went to answer the front door. when i came back i got the look of daggers from the GF, as a small child had snook into the room and was watching monkeyboys animated avatar and sig. pic, her mother was not amused either

That's the kind of thing I expected to happen. :( I did think as soon as I saw that avatar, that Hell's Angel Syndrome would kick in (all tarred with the same brush). Now do we police ourselves, and voluntarily remove avatars that might be considered offensive/corrupting? Or do we wait for a visit from the Avatar Sweeney?

Toned down accordingly incase I'm monkeyboy!

Posted

Oh yeah, just looked at Monkeyboys user page. It is perhaps a little much!

Posted

Even I'm not going to attempt to top that!

Right click on it, select "block images from jigglegif" - only works on Firefox, granted.

Odd though isn't it? I found blondilocks exposing all a bit much, yet Warren's old avatar with the white undies I deem most acceptable. I do worry that instead of looking like a load of blokes who like old cars, we just look like a bunch of dirty old men.

Lol! You're a Renault snob! You prefer the Fuego to the 5!

Guilty as charged :)

Can we be both?

I'm more than happy to stare at Wuvvum's avatar and ponder whether the bird in questions is wearing an 'over the shoulder boulder holder' or not. I probably don't want to know if she is.

Done. Thanks

Pog needs his Steptoe avatar back...

redsparrows one is great...is that a vintage erotica forum find?

Posted

This redsparrow one is gone. Did I miss much?

Posted

I can't remember where I found it, but I think it was some Spanish TR7 advert or something.

 

Like this one

Where's yours from?

 

It's worth of being a W.T.C avatar!

Not guilty! It was Monkeyman not me with the offending avatar!

Posted

Ah yes I remember now. It's got the nice pair of seats.

 

My current avatar was published in Escort Magazine (Volume 6, Issue No.2) from 1986.

Not, I repeat not, found in the Austin Rover Brochure from February 1985.

Due to a shipping error I am now overstocked with ROFL at Tayne's 'Wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tubeman' avatar.

Posted

Hey I can do this too!

 

 

Or can I get away with posting the "up north" version?

Posted

I think 'Face' has the sexiest avatar.

Posted

I've changed mine to You Know Who but Trigger beat me to it with his signature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought of it first though so there, I just wasn't near a computer at the time. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :lol:

I made my current one out of a screengrab from Disc Two of the Dempsey and Makepeace series 3 box set, which I have been watching this week :)

 

It could do with enlarging/stretching a bit, though. Does anyone know how to do this?
