[Depa77450sel]

Thanks for the welcome folks, I'll put some pics up very soon

[Depa77450sel]

So how do I put up photos then?

[mrkozzy]

welcome Depa.

there are a few of us "Vics" here on this site. We pop up from time to time.


I copy and pasted the following info (from someone elses post)  for you to get your teeth into. Play around and you'll find it isn't that hard.
Personally I use Imageshack, its so much quicker..........I'm sure others will give you some tips.  half the fun is experimenting!

To upload pics look here  http://forum.w116.org/site-news-and-issues/uploading-photos/msg38846/#msg38846
or you can join an online photo hosting site like photobucket or imageshack

Good luck

You need to join an external pic webpage like Photobucket and once you've uploaded your pix to that site, you simply paste the link to your selected picture into a post....  To make the upload process faster, you should compress the pix to a document-friendly size.  Personally I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager to compress my pix to around 200-700Kb before uploading.  Definitely keep it less than 1Mb and more than 200Kb.  Les than that and the quality becomes poor.  It can become time consuming if you're transferring lots of pix and there's probably better compression software out there, but I haven't found one yet.

It's not hard once you've done it a few times.

I've put a few pics up on the 'drive' gallery. at the moment my car has w126 hubcaps on it and, I have bought some 2nd hand bundt rims which will be going on soon

I just had a look; nice!  Hey what's going on with the sides below the mouldings?  They look like W126 contours, so I'm a little confused!

[Depa77450sel]

so was I when I first saw it! It seems to be some sort of decal I guess it confuses me too I doubt it came like that from factory as I've never seen a w116 like that either it was a extra or a previous owners idea to w126 the car a bit. I'm in two minds whether to keep it like that or get rid of it, its actually growing on me a little.

Unusual molding which to me looks more R107 than a W126. Originality police will have you against the wall in no time but I think it is a quaint period modification. Very 80s.

Great lookin' car! Your license plate kind of looks like "79BENZ".

[Depa77450sel]

Thanks, the car has been looked after. and It will continue to be looked after
