The guy who co-created DOOM on the PC all those years ago, John Romero, is selling his *heavily modified* Ferrari Test-Rossa on Ebay!

Go bid!

I seem to remember another prancing horse he had years ago, was offered as a prize in a quakeworld / quake 2 dm championship quite a few years ago.

I could have been a contender....

Think someone called Dennis 'Thresh' Fong won it - he's a member of the PGL (proffesional gamers league) and earns a VERY good living from the 'sport'

You know your games..

Thresh walked away with the ferrari, and now runs a pro gaming website in America, he dont play quake anymore, dont think he likes Quake 3 or has the time to play it..

Lakerman was the best Quakeworld player their ever was though.. Thresh 0wned at quake2.. And Fatality at Quake 3..

thresh, that was the guy i was thinking of.
I remember seeing him play the uk's best - sujoy.

Was embarrasing!

Sujoy is or was now in the usa touring the pro circuit and a few other that i used to play quake 2 against are also over there.
