What are everyones favourite car websites apart from this one of course!? (:thumbsup: to Ted)

Where do you get all your car pictures? Assuming I'm not alone in having a folder dedicated to car pictures!)

And what do you have as your desktop background?

www.celica-club.co.uk (yeah, so I currently own two of them. Anyone want to buy one?)

Piccys tend to be from google searches to be honest.

And the background is a mottled green metal texture. Which I rather like..

Actually, Pistonheads is the only marque non-specific (albeit predominately TVR) site I look at regularly (Way to go Ted!). I also check out the Lotus Esprit and Europa Yahoo groups list.

My background is a collage of car pics, consisting of:
Tuscan, Cerbera Speed 12, Esprit, new GT-40, old GT-40, cobra, 340R, Miura, and a Ducati 996. I add/swap cars in it when I have a slow day.

Anyone who sees it always asks 'Wow, what's that?... and that?... and that?'

I used to spend all my time on British cars bbs
the lotus elise forums

it becomes a bit cyclical though same questions same problems etc - still has some genuinely funny people on it and a good community for organising runs etc

This is the only car owner/discussion website that I have ever visited (actually its the only non work forum as well), regularly visit and probably ever will visit.

Only have pics of the AMV8 both here and at home, have the firm logo as backdrop at work (bloody windows policies) and have a ray traced sea anenome from digitalblasphemy.com as my backdrop at home.

Really good site for seriously obscure stuff is: www.autoindex.org.

Strictly business, but extremely comprehensive

I love this place almost as much as my own baby - I won't advertise it (unfair to Ted) but it's on my profile!

www.totalkitcar.com is quite good for kit news, not much to say at the moment though. Also www.totalsportscar.com

www.nurburgring.de

A private site, with news and stuff. Seems to be doing an old photos revival at the moment. News is a bit slow methinks.

Only PH for me regularly. Used to look at Autotrader until I found the car and about once a fortnight look at TVRCC..
