Hi Simon

Welcome to the forum..
Nobody else has replied so I will try to explain how to attach pictures..
If you have a 8/12/16 megapixel camera the pictures are too large to upload to this forum so you will need to compress (shrink) them to allow you to attach them..
I am guessing you have windows on your computer so you need to open your pictures by double clicking on them.
When they have opened go to the EDIT PICTURES button and double click on that.
Then on the right hand side of you screen go to the COMPRESS PICTURES button and double click.
Select WEB PAGES as the option for the size to compress to and the click OK.
If you want to keep your original picture save this picture as something else.
When you are on GT40s.com and want to ATTACH or add a picture go to the paper clip to the right of the smiley face and double click...
This brings up another box called manage attachments go to one of the BROWSE FILES buttons and double click then go to the picture that you have saved (compressed version)
Click on that photo and then press the upload button to the right.
Watch the bottom left corner and it should be connecting.

If you have tried to upload a photo that is too large it will not do anything..

File sizes and types are listed on the BROWSE FILES page and if you hover over a file with your mouse pointer it will give you the size of your file..

Hope this helps and enjoy the forum...

Cheers Craig Young

Craig,

I really like your GT40 photo. My daughter had this sign made for me by a very professional sign company. It is the same style font as yours. Small world...

Beautiful CNC work!

Simon, congrats for finally receiving the car at your garage, and for joining GT40s.com. You must certainly have one of the most striking GT40's in the Netherlands now. And probably the loudest too. It makes an excellent companion to your other incredible cars.

Here are a few images of this beautiful car, which will be familiar to several members here as it was built by Fran Kress and then owned by at least one other member.
