They are bloody good, I was going to ask who did them .... perhaps they could be invited to do the PCGB days, I'd rather pay £30 for photos like that than 70 or 75 quid for the distant shots I was sent from Donington '03, even if they did get 12 frames of my 'embarassment'.

cheers, Maurice

ps how did you get them on the forum at that resolution ??

Blimey...a technical computer question!! Err, I'm rubbish at computers, but this is what I did:

1. Sent the pics from my camera to my PC.
2. Sent the pics into my photo editing program (Adobe Photodeluxe).
3. Used Adobe to convert them to jpeg files so they were smaller in terms of file size, say 120kb each, but not in physical size seen on the screen, they were still bigger than your screen.
4. Sent them to a web hoster (Photobucket) which saves them as full size initially, literally a foot across or more. I then used a function on their website to shrink them to half size so they come out nice and big still on the forum, but not silly.
5. Posted the link to the pics on the forum.

I am a GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think if you look under G608WLH, you'll see a certain old CS in front of both a Blue GT2 AND a 964 Cup Car ............. and no, it wasn't just before you got past me [

Hi Paul,
Yes I've got some good photos but can someone tell me how to get them out of my digital camera and on to here???

John

Paul,

I didn't get any pics of Vic's car on the rollers, just the one of it sat in the pits garage:

John,

All you have to do is plug your camera into your PC using the USB cable supplied with it. You will need to put the software that came with the camera onto the PC first. Plugging the camera into the PC will usually result in the camera downloading the images automatically, you just have to decide where in "your documents" or "your pictures" you want them saving to.

You then need to save the pics as jpegs to make them smaller and quicker to load. You need photoshop-type software to do this, it usually comes with the camera. Then you upload the pics to a picture-hosting website, eg photobucket. Then you paste a link on here to your pics which are living out there in cyberspace, and people can see your pics on this page.

If you download the pics to your PC and then e-mail them to me, I'll shrink them to jpeg files and then post them here for you.

Hey, I can answer that for you.

It's Audi RS Blue. The original owner ordered the car in this colour from the factory, so it was a special paint job/choice. I think it's sensational.

The car looks even better in a Shell garage at night being lovingly wiped by its owner whilst he waits for an Optimax pump to become available. Most normal folk stay in their cars and keep warm. [
