haha.. Mattias IA Eklundh is a superb guitarist, has a very distinctive technique that goes really well with the band! I don't actually know if he plays totally fingerstyle though! Pretty good band though, I'm looking forward to the new album.. pity that no-one has ever heard of them in the UK, and ...

Well, picked the Anteres alloys up today, look very nice - have all the centre caps with Volvo logos, unusually haven't faded which I've seen on a few 440s - virtually like new. Tyres are also in good condition, and good makes with good tread on 2 and like new on the other two. I'd post some pics up...

They do seem very heavy cars - not sure on the specs. The fuel trip computer is strange though, it sometimes goes upto stupid figures like 70mpg, when cruising on motorways.

If the image you start off with can be vectorised well, or if you make something from scratch it would scale fine to fill a rear screen.

When I looked before most places making vinyl graphics wanted the image in vector format, rather than bitmap. Atleast I think so...

Good stuff... although I'll be doing about 20mpg, and his does about 40... some weird clever stuff going on with the fuel economy with 'em!

Are you driving grace now then?

I can convert the BMP into a vector image and edit it, or trace it using a graphics tablet. I don't think the original BMP image of the logo would scale up enough for a sticker. £8 is very good.. thats a pretty huge sticker too! Didn't mean to sound patronising with the vector stuff... I just read i...

Is that the 1.8 GDI S40/V40? My friend has an S40 GDi, it would be nice to smoke him with my GLT. Although I think it would be close.

As for the most powerful thing I've driven, its just the 360!

I was thinking of making something up, so it looked a bit neater than a piece of paper with a URL scrawled on... Good idea :wink:

Vector images are a graphic format, instead of using pixels to make up the image, the computer calculates the different areas etc that makes up the overall picture. Mainly only good for simple text/graphics, but can be scaled up without losing quality. I might be after the Freak Kitchen logo, some s...

The etched look can look quite good. I was thinking of getting something done, but not sure. Can the guy on ebay make them on request using vector images?

hmm I'm not convinced, I can just make something out if you look carefully. The background noise is indeed subtle, James is right - you do have to turn up your speakers a fair bit.

Don't blame you for asking - this weather is bloody awful!! Are you getting a different sticker for Grace, similar to Nessy's?
