hi'guys, thanks for interest,been trying to upload some photo's but keep getting file size too big' any way around this?,its an old kit car built some years ago,worth seeing,just started looking as it should,regards, keith.

as for pic's the way we prefer them to be added is via an external hosting site, like picassa, photobucket etc. As i imagine you'll be creating a fair few shots for your business and your own website it might be worth registering with photobucket( or similar) and making your own account Its an easy way to manage your pics and doesn't take up any space on your website ( or any others you post on). ( they're all free)

as a quick 'how to'......uploading pics to a host is easy enough. 1 tip is to resize pics on your pc before doing so if you're adding a few as its quicker.......most pc operating systems like windows etc have a resize feature. 640x480 is a handy size.

with P/Bucket once you have your pic uploaded all you have to do is to to copy the IMG code.....sounds complicated but it isnt! with P/B on the right of the page when the photo is showing in its real size will be 4 boxes or a box called 'links'.....you want the code that says IMG. Just simply click on the contents of that box, it copies automatically, then just return to the forum, and your message that you're creating and right click the mouse and press 'paste'....it'll drop the code direct into the message.....you don't have to do anything else. when you preview your message it should now show the pic and not the code.

do resize them though please - if they're bigger than 640/480 they can be a pain to view for some folks......

Welcome to the club

Is it a Teal?

Duncan

Duncan's beaten me to it, although I think there are some others out there, and people are building their own replicas from old parts as well I think. It was a Type 35 replica that used to belong to someone at the local Ford servicing centre that first tipped me off to the fact that there were "old" cars out there, that didn't look like modern (at the time) stuff. Not that I knew anything about kits or replicas when I was about 7-8. I've always had a thing for Bugattis, or anything that looks like one, since. I guess it's got to be related.

So defo need pics! And do get along to Detling next month if you can. Would be great to have you and your car on the SKCC pitch. Oh, and welcome on board .

hi , thanks for your interest in my bugatti'replica,first i will be at detling weather permitting! the car is a pennon bugatti built in wales around the 70s,last owner had it for 15 years' nothing much had been done to it in all its life it seems,just painted i think,i had one which was imported from america over 20 years ago and always regreted selling it and had looked out for one similar ever since,found this one towards the end of last year,have not stopped working on it ever since!now looking as it should',my last one caused a lot of interest and this one is even better',built on a vw beetle floorpan and running gear,dont have a garage so i can only work on it on dry days!!,make everything myself as i was a panel beater/painter/engineer for 40 years',will try to upload some photo's soon,regards, keith.
