How nice! Good-looking cars! (I like all special vehicles and cars, so thanks for the pics. :thumbup: )

Welcome to Carpokes! We are pleased and happy that you chose to join up!

As for pics, you can post multiple easily. Simply scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the "Attachments" tab. From there click the "Add" button and navigate to your local storage for pictures. Can do multiple images easily from there - they will be added to the editing box. Click the "Insert" button for each pic, placing them where you'd like in the body of your post. Click "Preview" to be sure all looks as you want it to and then submit the post.

See the following for a more detailed explanation. If more help is needed - just let me know. :angel:

I am a little slow, had to look at the specific instructions you linked to. Was looking for an icon to post from local storage, which is much easier, for me at least, than posting from a hosting site. Attachments "tab" you said it, but I was poking around for an icon, I participate in a number of car forums, this is a different format than I have seen before. Enough on my technical ineptitude, couple more cars.

Ok, more learning, I wrote in the "file comments" thinking it would show up as picture captions, but I guess it doesn't. The MGB GT was the first car I ever painted. The RX7 was my first modern car after years of driving 69s British sports cars. The Porsche 924 was my first 924. Picked up for $1000, driven home as is 500 miles in 0 degree January with no heater, painted and detailed it, added a bigger front sway bars and a rear bar as well as sticky tires. It ended up looking pretty good and handling pretty well.

The "Silver Bullet" The silky smooth rotary that would rev to 7000 rpm with no strain was a revelation.  My first modern car after driving old British cars from the '60s into the early 90s

My first Porsche, 924, bought for $1000 and driven home, I had it painted and detailed it up and it looked very nice, also put big sway bars and sticky tires on it,so it handled nice too.

Saabs! Lots of Saabs (not the only cars I've had but probably the most interesting).

My first was a 1994 900 SE which I bought upon graduation of College and still have (20 yrs later my son drives it).
I've also owned:
Parts car (1995 Saab 900)
Wife's driver: 1999 Saab 9-5 low pressure turbo
Saab Viggen Convertible (Wrecked, then fixed) (Still have this one)
Parts car for the Viggen Convertible
2000 Saab 9-5 Aero (still have this one, 330,000 miles on it!)
2003 Saab Convertible (still have this, daughter drives it!)

Glad to be here, I like what I see already!

That 924 looks great! Deserves its own thread here I suspect (and the TR6 too for that matter)! I've been meaning to supplement that how-to post with a video showing the nuances of posting pictures, but in the meantime it looks like you are getting the hang of it. Welcome aboard!
