Samantha,
Try downloading and using a freeware editing package to reduce your photo file sizes.
Emailing 3mb per file will only get split up and clog your friend's mail.

Here is a link to a good one used frequently ;

Good luck,

Re: Sir John Surtees meets the GD T70 at Goodwood

here you go

Steve (Samantha) is the chap in the middle wearing red. Sir John is the chap gesturing.

Adrian (chap in green) owns the grey lola you can just see on the right of the photo under the paddock cover.

I am the chap just behind the blond, (my cob is in the paddock also to the left)

Re: Sir John Surtees meets the GD T70 at Goodwood

Okay I Have sent Ron Harper 3 more pictures, It will take about 1 hour to reach you please be patient.

Yes the car had to be altered slightly so I can fit in okay,this one only has one roll over bar but is braced from behind giving me the much needed space.

Regards Steve. Not Samantha,

My wife does drive the T70 too .

Not being an old bugger (yet) I find it hard to connect senior citizens with what they used to do.
So here's a picture of the good Sir in his prime, before he got all soft and took to cars

Re: Sir John Surtees meets the GD T70 at Goodwood

Change the pic size to 640x480. If you have Microsoft Office try the following.
Click on Start. Click on programs. Click on MS Office . Click on Office tools. Click on Microsoft Office Picture Manager to load it up. Select on the pic you want then find the blue exprt picture on the rt hand side. Use the selection boxes to choose Large web 640x480 and where you want to put the reduced size pics.
Otherwise find a suitable free file change program from the internet or a tame nerd!
Hope this helps...
Cheers
Mike

And to think Roy Smart (GTD owner and club chair) used to race bikes against Surtees in this period and when Brands Hatch used to circulate in the opposite direction to todays races! Roy once told me the story when they both had tumbled off at the same corner and sat chatting on the tyre wall. John was not keen to go back to the pits as his Dad was going to give him a right ear bashing for falling off. Sat the race out with Roy which Roy enjoyed knowing already that Surtees was a name for the future.
