Just found this online whilst I was trying to identify a logo on a vintage car door ashtray.

Can anyone identify this ? It is a swivel door ashtray with what looks like a radiator in the middle and wings each side.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers 

 

 

Welcome to Neowin!

 

We actually have an auto-related section. You might be able to find someone who recognizes your object by posting a new topic about it there since it seems to be a car part:

Oh yeah! I remember the second link very well. Times and technology have changed throughout the years. Thanks for the retro reminder! (Y)

I don't remember exactly how or when I stumbled into Neowin, but I remember that after Windows XP's RTM I followed a few websites regularly reading on XP/Microsoft related developments and news. 

But the definite news piece I remember that got me hooked on this website was the coverage Tom did about the leak of Windows 2000 source code. 😅 Ever since, I visit this website almost daily but didn't register as a member until 2008, mostly because my background is finance, I did not have many answers to be posted on the forums. Rather, forums were helping me much. A long time has passed since I found Neowin, but this site is my "go to" website for tech updates. Thanks 😊

The fun days :) I miss those.. To me, those were the golden days for Microsoft. Fun Whistler builds.. hmm.. did 2211 ever leak ;)

 

Edit: Well, it sure it!

I know what I'm doing tonight! 

 

Longhorn 3663 still never leaked.. That's insane how that build never leaked, lol 

 

But for ###### n gigs.. I remember when 3718 leaked.. it leaked AFTER 4008, which wasn't very stable. Everyone wanted 3718 because they heard rumors that it was very stable (for an alpha anyway). Then someone stole the ISO from WinBeta and it was released by xBetas!. ahhhhh!!! The fun days of IRC, haha.

I bookmarked a few of sources for Windows XP visual styles. I forgot about most sites when social media consolidated/cannibalized everything into a handful of platforms. They have gotten too big and too noisy so I've started remembering the rest of the internet I used to know.

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...

      Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake
