Hey Steve - in the top picture you can just about make out the Subaru Outback in front of my DBM

Wonder what went through his mind as we all went past (me inparticular on the exit of that corner )...

a) Cool, wish I had bought an Impreza instead of this or
b) When I get home I'm going to trade this in for a renault megane

Hi All

Just posted this to Lordharding..sorry about the length..great pics!


""I had a GREAT day today along with the family…we got lost and went into Lancaster so missed the start at the lay by (we arrived 10.38am). Never mind we took of on the route and caught up with what looked like a silver wagon WRX jap import with blacked out rear windows. I then met up with a few more at Crooklands service station (MY 02 WRX in blue, a bright red classic, a reddish blue classic, a green classic etc) and they left me for dead. I wasn't driving as I had been up until the wee small hours cleaning / waxing etc and my wife drove.

Had a WHALE of a time apart from Kirkstone Pass where a bus coming the other way pushed us into the side. Scuffed tyres only but would guess others may have had more serious problems.

On to Pooley bridge…couldn't park the car apart from a pay and display. Had lunch but waited long time. By now four and six year old getting fed up. Tried to park the car again but beaten to spaces by Stan Palmer STI (555 number plate) and a maroon MPV!!

Chatted to a few people as they left (cheers to AndrewC who thought I wasn't a pervert in the public loos). By now kids are getting very fed up, particularly as I won't let them eat ice cream in the car so we went home.

Waiting for the next one…….""


Cheers



Midlife…

Missed yet another run but did have the fortune to see the black wagon and the WR blue new age on the M62 this morning. Own up, was it you? I ended up at the parrot society convention in stafford (don't ask but it was the only way i was allowed a scooby). Sounds like all had a good day, let me know if anything else is to be arranged - I am allowed out to play now.

LOL I am in it right up to my neck judging by the look Mrs RF is giving me

follow the link I have posted then click on one of the eight "Browse" buttons. This will open a window which you use to find one picture on your computer you wish to upload. once found, double click on it and the code will appear in the turbosport site. repeat upto seven more times then click the big upload button at the bototm of the page.

This will then return a new page full of code that looks like this:

[ img ]http://upload.turbosport.co.uk/getpic.asp?File=2002101320561748436.JPG[/ img ]

simply hightlight it all with your mouse then right click --> copy then right click --> paste the code into your reply. Here is a picture so you can click edit on this post to see how it is done:

my next car



If you still are stuck, then email them to me at milne555@xr4i.co.uk

Jon

Rusty,

The Link only displays what looks like HTML text. It is probably a Gremlin in windows XP, I do not know. The page does not have any of the 8 browse buttons or an upload button. I have even tried loding it from the turbosport BBS. I get the principle of what I need to do, just can not get into the upload site. I will E'mail a couple to you while I Suss it !!!

NP Dave - I have managed to reduce them by 50% in size and to 60% of their original quality. Thus the 400k files are now weighing in at a lightweight 45k - just off to post them in the members gallery thread

Nice one
Jon
