What are the steps to take to transfer my car pictures into the forum?

After I start a reply or a new topic and the dialog box opens all I do is drag the picture from my computer into the dialog box. Could not be simpler. I don’t know if it’s necessary but I always ensure the pictures are in the JPEG format.

Something else to consider when you post pictures is to place a space between the uploads once they are in the preview, it just makes viewing them easier. Make sure you have the cursor to the left of the !

Gorgeous, Carl! Keep them coming! Who cared to digitize the old pics? Did you do this? I’d be more than happy to see more!

Thanks for sharing!

My brother is a skilled photographer and keeper of old family pictures. He sent me this one. I stored it in my picture folder on this machine.

Not sure of his process, digitize or merely scan to memory…

Lots of family stuff, of course…

Thanks.

I remember you mentioning Tippy … cool job on the soap box!

A friend of mine has revitalized a kind of soap box downhill contest in the village I live in and some of the vehicles - he wasn’t able to scrap them afterwards and so they are still in the barn our cars are parked in - look pretty much like what you came up with in your days.

Count yourself happy to have preserved that kind of memories - I only have faded pink square colour pics from the “cameras” that got popular in the 70s.

Is that beehives in the background?

No, As best as I can recall or discern from the picture, it is Memorial Park, A neat place to play. .

What is " FF?" …

Wondering the same, father’s father? Nope?

Fantastic orange/soap box car and trailer, Carl!

Cheers!

Ps. The only ”FF” I know is the Jensen Interceptor Ferguson Formula. :slight_smile:

Thanks, Paul, for asking - I wouldn’t have dared! Indeed, starting with “bff” I started thinking about “former friend”, “friendly fellow”, “f+++ing fool”, “foolish follower” …, but none of them seemed to make sense …

Happy week end
