Great pictures Mike (as always) of a great day. Many thanks to Martyn & Eric for sorting it out. When can we do it again.

Seem not to be too many pictures of Beaky (944's are Porsches as well you know []) so just to redress the ballance please see as follows:-

Hi John also good pictures. How do you get full sized pictures to upload in the posting? I tried, but could only get thumbnails.

Are those 'Whoopee cushions' on your backs ? [][]

 

[Taverner]

Yes, but thank God we didn't have to use them! [8|]

Are those 'Whoopee cushions' on your backs ?

No. They are counter ballances to support our massive spherical dangly bits.

Hi Mike,

Ah! I could tell you but then you would be as clever as me [] For a humble joiner there are times when I even surprise myself.

But once you know how it is all quite easy.

The only problems are that the pictures must be hosted in a domain some where (ie they must be on the web) and you need to know their address.

The above picture of Rick and Mags was ripped off Rick's web site and all of my pictures I uploaded to my domain earlier today. Your big pictures are actually hosted in the PCGB domain and I obtained the address for the one above by clicking the thumbnail in your post and seeing what address came up with your picture.

Once you have an address for the image, I find it is best to highlight and copy it, then click the "image" button in the message editor when writing your post and then copy the image address between the two image commands.

It's easy really, and I was going to keep you guessing so that you thought I was really clever but you are such a nice person that I couldn't help myself.

Many thanks John, your generosity is only exceeded by your natural charm. []

I thought it was something like that, but could not remember the precise details. I am able to host pictures on the web so must give it a try sometime and see what happens.
