        Apologies in advance!

        Hi Guys and Gals (though haven't seen much evidence of the latter in the posts I have read).

        I want to break the forum rules straight away and moan most incessantly about the lack of ability to have custom avatars! BAN HIM, BAN HIM

        What's wrong with this?

        http://www.bm3w.co.uk/ubtul/175.jpg

        This week moving from an E46 M3 to an E60 M5 so I thought I would apologise in advance for annoying you lot......I do know the search function and have used it substantially already as an imposter BUT THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS.

        Sorry but that's just the way it is

        Custom Avatars

        I'd be in favor of custom avatars too, especially since my Beast is an Individual color.

        BTW, for UFH and others who might not know what an avatar is, it is the little picture of the car (or of Herbert Quandt in Ashok's case) that appears below your name to the left of your posts.

        Custom avatars & signatures make any site look very messy. Of course, I'm a hypocrite but 10,000 posts (almost) must be worth something.

        Yes you are. The only reason I have santa up is because it's something different.
