i am in christchurch i have just updated my profile just got to work out how to post px

oh yeah the pic thing

step 1 : load the pics onto a website like photo bucket or whatever you use
step 2 : view the pic right click with your mouse and choose "copy picture location"
step 3 : start your thread post then when you are ready to put your pic in click on the img button above on the post writing page
step 4 : paste the picture location that you copied in step 2

then it should work it
best to use the preview function before posting just to make sure

[img][http://s419.photobucket.com/albums/pp278/std40/?action=view&current=DSC00515.jpg/img] arrr cant work it out

almost you got to post the link to the pics between the img][/img it should be [img]picture%20link[/img]

std40 wrote:arrr cant work it out

okies your pic link isn't quite right
on photo bucket there is a direct link when viewing the pic copy that and paste it

this is the link you tried
http://s419.photobucket.com/albums/pp278/std40/ ?action=view&current=DSC00515.jpg

but this is the one you need to use
http://s419.photobucket.com/albums/pp278/std40/ DSC00515.jpg

there is a space in those links i put that there so you could see the difference otherwise it cut the ends off you couldn't see it

Hi James.
Welcome aboard! I'm the dude you met at your work. (I think I got the right fella?)
I'm pleased you finally joined the forum. Told ya it's a good place to visit.

Pete.

Sorry Drew. There's a guy who works on Blenhiem Rd who has a truck just like yours, same paint, motor, roof rack. Wow!
But good to see another 40 on ORE. Nothin wrong with the 3b mate.

When it comes to the repower Drew? I'd be happy to help out. I've learnt from lots from getting mine repowered, made lots of mistakes..

Yeah I think I remember passing you heading towards Sumner. The cruza is my everyday run about and I'm always around town in it. Normally with a car load of kids.

bugger dude you are going to have a long wait the thing is the V8 will give your more power and probably use less gas

Good point mercutio!!!
You could tell your misses that an injected V8 will use less gas than the 3B? I know for a fact that my LS1 5.7l uses way less petrol than the original 4.2l 2F motor did (and oil) .
