Deggers Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) I try to post picture once I've worked out how Alexander Take a deep breath Alexander! The trials of attaching pictures to the forum has been known to put years on some of us! But below, with any luck is a guide which (I hope) might help a little! You'll need an online host such as Photobucket to start with. (You can click HERE for a link.) 1) "Sign Up" (it's free - we like that!). 2) Click on the green "Upload" button, and you'll be able to navigate to find your picture on your computer. 3) Underneath your newly uploaded picture, in the blue tool bar - click "Share". 4) From the three offered options: (Post to website / Send email / Get Link Code) - choose "Get Link Code". 5) Scroll down to the "IMG for Bulletin Boards & Forums" box, and put a tick in the "Full Size" box. Click Save. 6) Under your picture, in a small white box labelled "IMG", is a unique "http:" address. Click it, and copy it. 7) Now paste that "http:" address directly into your post. That's it - phew! I know it sounds a bit long winded! But it's pretty straightforward really (honest !). Looking forward to seeing your new 3A!! Cheers, and good luck! Deggers.

Don Elliott Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) After my TR3A was stored in my garage from 1972 to 1987 with 80,350 miles on the clock from new, I started a total body-off restoration which took 3 years. Since 1990 (22 years), I have driven "TRusty" nother 108,000 miles and I have been smiling every time I took it out. Edited March 27, 2012 by Don Elliott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

2long Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Alexander: That is a beautiful car and a fine restoration. It looks like it is just aching to be driven down a country road! I also like the patina on the oil filler cap. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
