I went too far with my contribution. I ruined the head lights and tail lights trying to get creative.

Yes sir, I remember that well. Although I don't know what I contributed in the end.

Everyone is much more talented than I am.

I sort of do but that was before I got a handle on things.

Looks like it was a great project for all who worked on it.

I just had a read through the original threads and it was an interesting trip down memory lane! I remember at the time not having the time nor the confidence in my skills to participate. It was wonderful too to read posts from Bill Taylor and Parahandy( they are truly missed) and members who haven't been around the forums in years (like GeminiGuy) It also was a good reminder of how so many members from different parts of the world basically came together and created something wonderful.

I'd love to do some sort of new collaborative project. It could be anything we wanted, a vehicle, a building, a street scene. Thoughts?

Here's one color variation of the team's drawing...

I like the idea although I tried that some time ago, and so did Burpee attempting a Rube Goldberg type machine. For my part I was hoping we could all get together and figure out how to do an animated kaleidoscope using Xara. Sadly there were not many takers. I posted the most actually posting my failures and partial successes. Although he didn't really participate Paul Psaumure did something that gave me a clue on how to do it, Thank you Paul.
