Hi all. I spotted this 1978 Elite 504 on ebay just before Christmas 2009. So in went the bid and fortunatly it ended on a Saturday i was not working, so i could sit in front of my pc. Yes i its mine. Next how do i get it back from Doncaster. I had not seen the car so i supose a trailer would have made sense, so i went up with a mate and an A frame. We towed it out of the guys garage backwards and pumped up two tyres. Next i jacked it up and undid the propshaft at the same time looking at the chassis. It looked ok as it was still the origanal. {Sorry about the spelling } So one week before Xmas this Elite was doing 60+ mph on its way back to Norfolk. It was fun watching peoples faces as this SAAB passed them being tailgated by a Lotus. Here are some odd pics. [ if i can get them on that is. As an old fart this computer stuff can be a pain.]

Help i am trying upload some pictures but it will not let me it says upload skipped [this file was too big to upload]

I had problems uploading pics until I opened a (free) photobucket account. Its then easy to copy and paste into the threads. There are a few threads on here outlining exactly how to do this but the main thing is to make sure your pics are not too large -800x600 I think is the max.

Hope that helps

Use windows explorer to browse to the pictures, one by one, use the RIGHT click and you get a drop down menu, select "open with paint", the in Paint click the "image" menu (top left), select resize and I usually alter horizontal and vertical to about 25%, then select "file", "save as" and you can name the file and save it as a jpg.

Image will be much smaller, memory wise, so you can upload them.

Hope that helps

You don't even have to "open with Paint", just right click and select "Edit".

First place to look is the 'Forum Info & Help' section and you'll see a topic 'pinned' at the top called 'Help, I can't post an image to the forum!'
