Default Desktop background

Does anyone know of any decent desktop wallpaper that features mulitple Fords in it? Like Falcon GT, Mustang GT500, Focus RS etc. Or even one that has all the GTs? Or maybe someone has made one of their own?

Been looking for one for the home and work laptop but cant find anything decent.

Don't know about any compilation wallpaper featuring all the cars, but I did a search on the site I use for wallpapers and found this:
http://www.allwallpapersfree.org/201...ers-1080p.html

I am quite inclined to believe that that pack will have the various cars you want in there!

On the topic, my laptop screen res is on 1366x768...

Whats the optimum size I should down load, none seem to ever be around that range.

I usually get 1280 x 800 as its close to both.

Thanks for the kind words guys, Its seriously the best site I have ever found, the only problem is as I am sure you have noticed now, when there are a LOT of photos in the section you are looking for, the pages seem to go forever, and you just cant choose which to actually select. There are so so many beautiful wallpapers. I am on a 27" iMac and the display is stunning to begin, add these remarkable pictures and well, I have the screen set to change every 30 seconds and still havent managed to go thru my entire collection YET. And I am adding around 30 images a day.

Yep and if I am not the missus certainly is as well. I am very surprised that basically you are able to DL all the images, the quality of dare I say 99% of them is simple stunning. Everytime I think yep that will do...another 300 show up and I am like...oh well right click save, right click save....

A lot of the images on there though are that hi-res that the work monitors just don;t do it justice and I have to look at lower-res stuff.

Thats a shame some of the high res stuff is mind blowing, with the level of detail.
