Want some Porsche Wallpapers & Screensavers

I’ve always enjoyed cars, trucks - vehicles of any kind really. I appreciate the workmanship and style especially of some of the fine cars.

Perhaps you enjoy nice cars as well? I know some people are quite the enthusiasts - purchasing car magazines regularly, going to car shows, collecting models and when possible, if they have the income even collecting a variety of cars.

Well I can’t afford to purchase a high end vehicle but I can dream.

If you dream of nice cars like I do you might be interested in visiting Vcars. Vcars is a company that specializes in helping clients find Used Cars. They have a network of over 50 manufacturer specific websites such as Audi, Honda, Ford, Vauxhall, and Volkswagen and they can help you find a used car in your area.

My favorite part of their site is downloads area. You can download screensavers and wallpapers for all of the major vehicle manufactures.

Since one of my favorite cars is the Porsche I gravitated towards that area to see what kind of Porsche Wallpapers they had.

I found four different Porche Wallpapers. You can download the Porsche Gemballa GTR 650 Avalanche Wallpaper, Porsche Cayenne Wallpaper, Porsche 911 Turbo Wallpaper and the Porsche Boxster Wallpaper. All of the wallpapers are of a steely blue design as if you were looking at the car at night time under street lights.

My favorite model out of that selection is the Porsche 911 Turbo. You can download the 911 or any of the wallpapers in a size that suits your computer monitor settings from 1280×1024, 1024×768 to 800×600. Just select the size you’d like and you’ll be taken to a new page with the correct wallpaper size where you can right click over the image and download it to your desktop or save as wallpaper right then and there.

I also like the fact that if you wanted to send one of the wallpapers or a screensaver to a friend you can simply fill out a form beside your download selection and send it to whomever you’d like.

The image that I included above is the Porche Screensaver. It’s a dynamic screensaver with a calendar and clock built right into it. I think it’s great. You can download the screensaver in a version for a PC, osX or Linux.

If you want a new screensaver or wallpaper for your computer check out the site. It’s free after all.

Brits win Chesterfield

Well here’s another one for the Brits! They have retained supremacy in High-Speed sofas.

A few weeks ago, Marek Turowski drove a motorized chesterfield down a runway. He managed to attain a speed of 147 km hour.

The motorized furniture is made by Edd China, and believe it or not the sofa is officially street legal for driving! This new ultimate relaxation vehicle will be used to raise money for charity.

Turowski said of his feat: “It was terrifying. You feel every bump.” The previous record of 139 km/h was also set by a British sofa.

You’d think that it would have been a more comfortable ride would you? They’ll have to put more shock absorbers in upcoming models.

Wolf whistles

Wordless Wednesday

00031784

Can’t you just hear the wolf dog whistles as this lovely super model cat is paraded by the crowd?

I’m not sure where this photo was taken. I have the feeling that it might have been at some kind of pet show, since the dogs look to be of the same breed and are sitting so obiediently as that cool cat walks by. Besides … a cat on a leash? Who does that? Ok ok one of our neighbors does, but she talks to trees and telephone poles too.

If you want to see a kind of funny photo of me you should visit my guitar blog. It’s worth the visit. I’ve got lipstick on my forehead!
