    I had a serious go at learning to post pics. And failed. Or rather Mrs. P failed. I got bored after about ten minutes and chucked the laptop at her. She knows more about this stuff than me, but that's no recommendation. Like the saying "In the Kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is King".

    Not giving up just yet, so expect some more nonsense appearing under my moniker in the coming days.

    If you really want to post pics you could try 'tinypic', here: http://tinypic.com/

    And here's some instructions I wrote a while ago for using it:

    Hi Geoff,

    It was this very instruction that we followed, but to no avail. Missus said something about this "piece of shit" laptop not letting her right-click. So at the moment I don't know if it's a fault with the pc or we're just being thick.

    She too has a low boredom threshold, so I'm giving her a break for a day or so before I peck her head again.

    Seems a lot of people agree with you. Here in the states, cars from the 50’s to 70’s are highly sought after and worth great sums of money! Do you get to see the Barrett Jackson Auctions on TV? A ruddy old Dodge from the late 60’s sold for a cool quarter million! It started out only certain models, but now most any car from the period is in demand. I had a ‘73 El’camino that was great fun to drive! Wish I still had it, it would be worth a mint.

    With the yank tanks you have to stay prior to 1970 really, after that you get all the emissions regs sapping the power. 6 litre engines that only develop 120 BHP? Just silly.

    Quite fancy a '67 Chevvy Impala or maybe a '69 Plymouth Barracuda myself.

    Both fine choices!

    But people who seek out old 70’s cars do not leave them stock. In fact dropping a high performance crate engine in is a popular option. Those polution controls that robbed power are long gone, replaced by 450bhp monsters, that get 8 miles to the gallon. What’s that, about 3kilometers per liter?
