[ỒĊBłůē]

There's a whole lotta love invested in them there cars (and vans).

I reckon that Mustang that came second in class must've been missed out on first by a whisker :thumb:

(Congratulations dude!)

[mnpctech]

How do you inline thumbnails ?????

(Remeber you must host 2 seperate images)

hi-res photo first, then smaller thumbnail

see attached code

Congrats Mate!

Homer voice activated: Ohhhhh... Euro-spec GTIs :bow: Thank you Knipex! I've gotta get my 86 GLI out of storage!

Edit: That Silver Benz is now my desktop :cool:
Edit: Luv the Driving Light Pods on the Orange Escort :wub:
Edit: Cali plates on the Mach1 :D

[Knipex]

Thanks for the code Bill.

Funny I hate the lights on the Escort. I think it destroys the look of the car. Plus it destroys the weight balance ;)

Merc is nice aint she

What did you think of the 355 ???

Oh and a guy offered me a trade. My mustang for the mark II jag in this picture.

It is a solid car but would need a bare metal respray in the future (celulose paint is sinking in spots) He wanted a small (read very small) cash adjustment and if I was not buying a house I would be all over it.

Even still its tempting,....

I thought you had sold your Stang?

My old 1980 VW Passat (Dasher in US) with Hella Comets :D

[Knipex]

No not sold yet.

I was waiting to put it on the market untill I transferred it to Irish plates. If I wait untill 16th June (ie. 30 years from first registration) I save a fortune. Any cars over 30 years old are exempt from VRT (based on 30% of value) and road tax is a fixed €50 insead of €1300.

Fix your font tags and tagging order and do as bill's code says and you should be good.

don't use the advanced editor, plain old one is better :)

[mrplow]

Ah yikes font tags around the img tags!
Advanced editor is more trouble than it's worth.

[Starbuck3733T]

Woah - that seems like a sweet trade if it weren't for the massive amt of body work needed to do a bare metal respray.
