Echoing what everyone's said so far, great day out and good to put faces to usernames :thumbup: It seems the morning is the best time to meet and chat as a bigger as throughout the day everyone drifts apart to see different thing i.e races / shows / eat overpriced food etc. I've got some pics to upload once i get them off my phone, didn't take as many as last year. We had one of our members racing in Bernie's V8's (black 3rd gen) that i managed to get some snaps of whilst it was on the track. Looking forward to next year and hoping a few more of our cars will be out of project stage and into driveable stage :thumbup:

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

I took a total of 111 photos, d'ya think that was enough?

After some nagging from.......(you know who you are), I opened a photobucket account.
I started uploading last night.....OMG!!! It's so friggin slow!!!
It took about 5/10 minutes to upload each pic, at that rate I would need a day to upload them all!
I guess being SUPER, SUPER, selective is the name of the game (or am I doing something wrong?).

I've uploaded six so far, and two of those are of a car that isn't a Camo, not even a Chevy, in fact, it's not even american!!!
Don't worry Stu, it's a nice car. :D
And if they don't make the photobucket cut, I'll still keep them.

So, anyone, parade lap, did you or didn't you, and if so, what time?

If it's taking that long you need to get with the programme and sack that old dial up connection for broadband :thumbup: there is a bulk uploaded that should do it a lot quicker than that :D

Crikey that would take a while for 111 pics at that rate!

Based on the camera you have, it looked like it would quite high res pictures. How big was each one? There is some free software out there (or maybe you have photoshop?) that you can put all your pics into and it will squish them down in size. You can usually just dump a folders worth of pics and let it do a batch conversion (keeps the originals and gives you a second version that's a lot smaller). Doesn't take too long, depending on how fast the PC is and that should help a lot with the upload time.

Mention the nagger, and he magically appears! :lol:

Yeah, my photos are all hi-res, up to 8 megs!

If I wanted low-res, I'd use a phone. :whistle:

I don't see any response about the parade lap!
Do I have to send the boys round?
