The Frank-the-Cat inspired website showing pictures of my housemate building his Westfield Megabird is now available at www.megabird.co.uk

In case you're wondering, the reason for doing this is to make a time-lapse movie of the car being built. The webcam is just a bit of extra fun. Apologies for the occasional broken image. I know what's causing it and will fix it when I get home.

He's in the garage most of today (except possibly while England are playing) so go and watch him try and work out how the hell it all goes together.

Thanks to DavidD for the loan of a laptop and webcam.

Great site, but some bloke keeps walking in front of the camera and blocking the view of the chassis!

Can we send him messages, get him to check things ala sort of porn-cam but for car fanatics!

Actech: I could set the webcam laptop up with an AIM client so you can send him instant messages if you like? Suggestions for the AIM Screen name?

Carzee, it will be done.

Oh, and if you see a girl in a white England T-shirt doing anything naughty with Dave, please email me as a matter of urgency. She's my girlfriend.

The laptop in the garage is now permanantly logged on to AIM with the screen name 'megabirdmonkey'. If you see one of us in the garage, feel free to send us an instant message... or something nice to read next time we go in.


Edited cos I mis-spelt the AOL screen name like a complete muppet!

No problem. Any other requests for the site will be duly considered and [probably] implemented.

I removed the 'poke' button after a couple of days, but so many people complained, I've been forced to put it back... and it's now nicely improved.

Hope you enjoy it Carzee!

Oh, and thanks to everyone who's searched for pictures of my girlfriend. If you're that interested I'll enable a webcam on the PC in the house so you can watch her too.

We'd have to have a "Poke Bonce's Bird" Button..

of course, the functionality would have to be different from the grease monkey one, cos obviously, you don't poke your mate in the same sense you poke your bird...

God and I thought I was being original in searching for "Bonces Bird". How about you break both her legs, lay her up with very few clothes on,enable the web cam and set up birdhospital.co.uk. Alright maybe not but atleast enable some sort of result for a search on the site, perhaps a nice tight t shirt or something

She's off work with a bad back, so this may not be too difficult to arrange...
