Kingster Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Watching the first video reminds me that I must design my own logo for the Aim dash start screen really like the Donks, pity about the price tag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatman Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I disagree on the dash. It looks like the designer sneezed... Those of us that have been here for a while will remember what happened last time someone aid that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would but the search failed me I wonder if one of the admins, in a quiet moment (yes I know...) could rummage through the "old" site and dig up a link to that thread...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 An American member with a turbo Busa powered car and a very Fast and Furious mindset posted a picture of his new dashboard up, for critique and was, ahem, somewhat surprised at the results! This in turn led to a comment that became legendary in the folklore of the club. Quote Did you put all the switches and guages in your mouth and then sneeze ?? The original thread is here. The pictures are long since gone, fortunately those of us that were around at the time knew that would happen and saved the incriminating evidence. I have to say, ordinarily, I wouldn't condone making someone's hard work into a mockery, and I dare say things would, and probably should be different now. But conversations with that particular member were always slightly surreal, and the dash, well, what can you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hmm, having just had a leaf through that thread again, things would deffinately be different now. As much as I miss some friends from back in the days the original thread was written, I don't miss the nature of the Boardroom back then. Fine down the pub with your mates, but not good for the club long term. You can see just how much has changed over the intervening 13 years. (Gulp! 13 years...)

Totally different atmosphere in that thread to what I've seen since I've joined recently. Granted only 1 thread but certainly a whiff of the pistonheads forum in there.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Agreed. I confess, I actually nearly deleted the link, once I'd gone back and read the thread, I'd forgotten how far we'd come.

Blatman Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 1. Quote 13 years. (Gulp! 13 years...) goodness me OK, the swear filter has been upgraded... 4 forks ache... And 2. I neither started it nor fanned the flames which was a pleasant change of pace for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
