Sim Racing Merchandise

Anyone know where I can get hold of some? A GPL t-shirt maybe or a VROC backpack? ; ) I thought it might be a good way for sim fans to spot me at real life motorsports events and maybe strike up a conversation and to promote sim racing in general. (I know - it's a long shot) Cheers Damien PS. Oh, and I'm not after any teddy bears. Sorry.

(I know - it's a long shot) I was thinking an interesting t-shirt to wear at a motorsport event would be one that said GPLRank xxx (Where xxx is your GPLRank). Of course, my rank is so abysmal I'd not dare do such a thing. :-)

What about a R.A.S. shirt with a quote like "Aussie V8s!!!" "Ped Xing" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

> What about a R.A.S. shirt with a quote like "Aussie V8s!!!" Yeah, or maybe 'rec.autos.simulators' on the front and 'It's no GPL' on the back.

www.kingofsims.com used to sell some nice GPL T-shirts. Unfortunately the website seems to be defunct. 8-( I'm glad I got mine when they were available..... Bert Damien Smith wrote:

Some Yanks made up a mess of GPL shirts and took them to the Goodwood Festival of Speed. I tried to grab one or two but all the Xtra large sizes were sold. You might do a search through last fall about GPL tshirts with google/groups and you might find out if those guys have any left. dave henrie "BRH @attbi.com>" <"bertrh<no-spam> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > www.kingofsims.com used to sell some nice GPL T-shirts.

I'll forward the idea to the gplrank admins, maybe we can compete with the West's teddy bears? ;-) uwe -- mail replies to Uwe at schuerkamp dot de ( yahoo address is spambox) Uwe Schuerkamp //////////////////////////// http://www.schuerkamp.de/ Herford, Germany \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (52.0N/8.5E) GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

I AM a Yank. A nice cuddly extra large one with a real live beer gut to prove it. I thought if I said 'some of my fellow Uhmericans,' it would sound to Nixonish. I wasn't at Goodwood unfortunately, the closest I get to that is the 1 hour special of Alan deCadney waltzing around the grounds with a camera crew on Speed channel(sometimes I HATE that man! :> ) dave henrie --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
