Default 2 questions plus one answer

First the answer which leads to 1st question:
The German GP pics that Chuck kindly posted for me was because I can't figure out how to do this
so once I can I'll try for more pics.
2nd I have a '94 C2 and would like to know why there seem to be so few around. Seems like most in US are '95 onward.
I think there was a thread about posting pics some time back but haven't been able to track it. Any help appreciated. TT

Trevor,

Re; picture posting... I don't think you need to be a member, so this "should" work.

Use the "Post Reply" button in the lower left, not the "Quick Reply" field.
See the "manage attachments" button. Do that. It pops up a new window where you can browse on your computer and identify a .jpg (or other) picture. Select it, and press "upload".
If your image is not too large, it will be uploaded and you will see the size. You can post quite a few like this in a single post.
Add some text and press "post reply" or whatever that last button is and VOILA... pictures!

Thanks Steve, I'll get started once I get back from the annual Porsche Parade which starts tomorrow evening. This year at Sun City near Johannesburg (about 1200 miles from us here in Cape Town) Might be some interesting shots.

I use a 600 X450 resolution. Start your photoshop and open the pic you want to post.. Go to "Image" then to "Image Size" and adjust the numbers to give you 600X450.

Works well.

Thanks J-P,
I don't have Photoshop on my system just windows XP home and the related "my pictures" program. I also have a program called Picasa which might have this option. If I really battle I'll get a local nerd in to get me started. (Hope that eventual results are worth the effort)

Thanks for the kind offer Chuck. I'm going to give it a try and with my limited ability I'll be knocking on your door again!
Got my liver in prepared, will need a full detox when I get back Tuesday. There is one real mother 964, hugely modded that I must show -puts out over 750 hp when the turbos are turned up but looks pretty stock.

TT,

What a great color on your car! You describe it as "midnight", but midnight is much darker than that.

I alos love your list of previous, old English sports cars. You are a brave man and a slow learner.

Chuck, Steve, I might have got a handle on this! Feels like learning to ride a bike for the first time!

Looks like you got it, Trevor. I love the color of your car. And thanks for the pics of the 964-that's a real beauty (and a beast).

Trevor, Nice looking car...are you sure your color code says Midnight. In the sun it looks close to Iris.
