Put them in your archive and someone can explain how to link them or look at them in there. Problems most people have is trying to put them on without sizing them in a graphic program first.

Sign up for a photobucket free account, if you can't put pictures on there I will personally come round and take your computer away from you as you are too dumb to own one and run a life at the same time. Sorry, my grandson is 9 and he can do this stuff and I am old and can do it. You must be somewhere in between so it's time to learn. Here you are, sign up and you can size and edit your pictures online and it's free, just put a bit of time in to find out how to do it.

And Chris Gibbs wrote a book about the Haynes Roadster, not the Locost, that was the previous Ron Champion book, and a different car altogether!

Seriously though, photobucket is very easy to use and is better for theLocost site as you are not loading the server with large picture files!

I use it all the time and you can even grant people access to whole albums if you want to, so can be very useful indeed!

How heavy is the complete diff in that big cage? I'm looking for something for my Sprite, and the MX-5 stuff keeps coming up cheaply on Ebay.
