Jon, a good point - I've also got two cars.

The Garage is Esmond's creation - he might be able to help when he's back.

Currently no. You can however chose which car is listed under the avatar. Problem is for premium members we allow up to five vehicles. If all were listed I think it would end up being a bit messy.

5 is a bit excessive, but selecting 2 from the 5 and displaying them shouldn't be messy?

Problem is someone will want three then...plus it will require a one query per vehicle for every vehicle the user owns rather than just the one.

Could all the cars in the garage not be combined (in the garage) into a single string, and the that's displayed under the avatar... clicking on any of the cars would then take you to the garage rather than the car?

Only reason I ask is that when someone posts an answer regarding to a Mk2 Turbo for instance, and their signature says Mk1 MR2, (some) people might think "how does he know, he's got a Mk1"...

Other reason is I don't want to have to choose between the cars for my signature :D

Best regards,
Jon

Sorry, might be being slow here, but how do I change which car is listed? I can see how to change my avatar image, but not which car is listed below it?

Thanks,
Jon

Go the the vehicle manage screen of the car you want to be listed and you should see a option to set as main vehicle.

I only get the following options: View Vehicle, Edit Vehicle, Add New Modification, Add New Insurance Premium, Add New Quarter Mile Time, Add New Rolling Road Run, Manage Vehicle Gallery, Delete Vehicle

Hello again... thought I'd resurect this.....

I still want multiple cars in my Avatar :)

If we HAVE to have only one :( , there still doesn't appear to be a way to change which car is assigned to it :?

Thanks,
Jon

You need to go into garage and select the car thats not listed under your username when posting. You are then given several further options, one of which says "main vehicle" click on that link and it changes the vehicle lsited under your username.
Thats what I did and it worked.
EX Caribbean Blue 10th Anniversary 1996 T-bar
EX Black 1995 mk2 GT Turbo
NOW Audi TT V6 3.2 DSG 2004 Coupe
