Time for a new avatar

Having been down in the dumps for the last few months, I finally found a new job (yay), but with rubbish money (boo). Can't seem to have my cake and eat it, hey ho.

Anyway, feeling in a happier mood, I thought I should get back to having some fun.
Some friends have donated a huge pile of Sylvanian Family stuff to my daughter, and what should be in there, but a large format camera in the wedding set. Time to combine 3 hobbies* into one avatar!

* - Model making, photography, and my Eunos :D

I like it and looks cool, well done i have a new 1 i would like to use but i can not seem to make it small enough to use here for some reason.
It's 550 pixels wide but everytime i resize it down i loose quality and can not get its file size down.

Definitely not a Eunos to me. :wink:

Well if it revs like a Eunos, smells like a Eunos, and it says "Eunos Roadster" on the back, then it's a Eunos to me!

Also see http://www.padkins.demon.co.uk/eunos which I created years ago when they were first being imported to the UK, along with a lot of Mazda dealer anti-import propaganda.

This is all a bit off-topic though :roll:

BBJ - try Ifranview (http://www.irfanview.com/)for a quick and dirty re-size, and save as a gif - should get you there I hope!

That's exactly the first thing I thought.... I guess Mazda did a bit of marketing & re-badged the mx5 under their "prestige" Eunos label for the UK.

Thanks Pete, it worked after a bit of stuffing around. :lol:

It's also called the Miata in the States.

I can understand that a car can have different names in different countries, but it seems odd that we have both a mazda mx-5 and the eunos here, both completely different to each other but the UK eunos is a re-badged MX-5.
Anyway, as Eunosdriver says, completely off topic.
