Here ya go.. Basically you you need to upload your image(s) first to rennlist, then attach them. Hope the below helps ya out.
Detailed info below:
How do I attach a file to a post?
To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.
On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labeled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.
To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.
Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
What files types can I use? How large can attachments be?
In the attachment window you will find a list of the allowed file types and their maximum sizes. Files that are larger than these sizes will be rejected. There may also be an overall quota limit to the number of attachments you can post to the board.
How do I add an image to a post?
If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.
To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, (not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing [img] before the URL and [/img] after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert pictures from your albums (?) in this way too.

Looking for those pictures.
As regards oil consumption, my car uses very little. I've not topped it up between changes (about 6,500 miles per year, so that's my change interval) yet. I run a bit of combined city/highway and some track too.
I'd not heard about this rear wiper thing. I use the wiper for 2 swipes every time I wand wash the car. LOL ... guess I'll check it for tightness.

I will post pictures of the tell-tale wiper scratch. My P shop new exactly what they were when I got the car. It is locked down tight now. I thought about removing...but it is secure now. No worries.
I do think that regular Rain-X would eliminate the need for it entirely. But when moving slow...it will collect water beads...which annoys me personally.
Agree on the bumper...I looked up in there and it looked like a bird's nest waaaaay in the back. Cigarette butts and all kinds of "garbage". I am SHOCKED there is no easy way to reach in there....water just pushes it further into the corner.
Recommendation #2 - Remove bumper, clean out radiators and INSTALL SCREENS in the vents. I have seen a few suggestion between homemade and custom fit. If anyone knows of some prefit screens, I am interested!

Post /upload the images to Photobucket - they can be as big as you want (higher quality usually means bigger picture).
Get the URL of the photo -
1. this is easy to do in Photobucket, on the left side of the picture you will see, "SHARE THIS IMAGE" and it will have 4 links under it.
Click on the one that says DIRECT LINK (You should see a message that says COPIED)
2. Go to the Rennlist thread (like this one) and click POST REPLY
3. Right above where you type, you will see a small yellow square icon that looks like it has a mountain in it, CLICK IT.
4. In the WIndow that pops up, where it asks for the URL, just PASTE inside that window. (CTRL-V or RIGHT CLICK and Select PASTE).
5. Click OK
viola' - you are done. Click the POST REPLY button below and it will appear.
ALTERNATE VARIATION
1. Instead of clicking DIrect Link on Photobucket, click IMG CODE.
2. Click POST REPLY in rennlist thread
3. PASTE (CTRL-V or RIght click/Paste) directly into the thread.
The text will look like this: (without the spaces in IMG)

4. Click Reply button and your image will appear.
Or if you hate doing any of this...just make sure your album is public in Photobucket, and click on the album name. On the left there is a "Share this Album" and link displayed under it.
Right click on this link and select COPY. In the Rennlist thread right-click and Paste. Then people can go visit ALL your pictures in the album.
