Hi there!

@Star, beautiful helmet! I love the Welsh Dragon design on mine. I spent days trying to understand who JV was Not to mention SLH and JYS, who technically should be SJYS. I'm slowly getting the hang of the forum

Of course you realise Tom Pryce was not the first person to display the Welsh Dragon on his attire and car.

Who was it? All is revealed here: viewtopic.php?p=415547#p415547

So @Starling am I right in thinking you are Welsh? It is a nice helmet design but I have always loved Jacques Villeneuve's helmet and have been a fan of his for a long time. His name was a bit long to put as my favourite driver, though of course JV could also have been Jos Verstappen, only it's not obviously.

Yes, you do have to get used to the forum shorthand when you join a new place, it makes life interesting for a while that's for sure.

@Everso Biggyballies , no, I did not know him, thanks!

@Star , I'm not Welsh, I just love dragons. I discovered Tom Pryce only recently, and the dragon is a bouns!

Sorry for totally derailing @Neonbubbleshots ' intro

@Starling Well who doesn't love dragons?

@Star “I desired dragons with a profound desire. Of course, I in my timid body did not wish to have them in the neighborhood. But the world that contained even the imagination of Fáfnir was richer and more beautiful, at whatever the cost of peril.” - JRR Tolkien

Oh I've never seen or read the Lord Of The Rings series. I've considered it but never actually done it.

I recommend it. It would be better to start with the book, but the movies are OK. I'm currently writing essays for studies about Tolkien, and going into it in depth literally changed my life.

[Star]

Well if I did anything it would be watch the movies but they're not really my sort of thing. I might get round to it at some point. Some things come along and do change your life, hopefully for the better

[Starling]

Indeed!
