Screen background/Wallpaper
« on: April 21, 2018, 06:45:48 AM »
Anyone want to share what they use as their background? Mine is Stirling Moss at Monaco 1956 down by the harbour in his Maserati 250F.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I hope that was a ford, and not a poor handbrake!

It was a ford, well-known to local rallyists who also knew it was worth keeping right where it wasn't too deep!
Many night-time plot-and-bash rallies had a Time Control about 200 yards round the next corner which was the scene of many  wet brake based overshoots. . .
An extra personal note is that Terry Chalkwright, the navigator in that picture, died recently.

This is my latest background - the inimitable Tazio Nuvolari in an Alfa Tipo B. I wonder what Ron Dennis would think of the mechanics' overalls? Apoplexy is the word that springs to mind.

Absolutely beautiful car Allemano.
This is a picture of my Monteverdi 375S; unfortunately it's only 1/43 scale....:

But I suppose you paid less than 1/43 of the price..

Yes, a tiny fraction fortunately!
It's a fabulous model though.  The accuracy and quality are astonishing (especially for the price).  It doesn't say on the base who made it and I can't remember, but it's one of the best models in my cabinet and one of my top 3 favourite ones. The other favourites are also Frua designs!
