Spottedlaurel Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I’d guess on a C-plate that Bluebird would be a Japanese T12 rather than UK T72. If I was so minded I could find out on my mega-list of Datsun/Nissan chassis numbers, but the chances of me remembering to do that when I get home are slim.Nice car though. SLX gets really plush trim, just a shame they have manual windows and no central locking. I like the skinnier bumpers more than the big ones they fitted later (like on my new one). In my experience the auto ‘box need not be a deterrent.Lower mileage than mine too. Shame there’s not much history with it though, I like to see who previous owners were and look at old bills etc for whatever I buy, no matter how much/little it costs.I’d noticed the 626 estate too. Classy-looking things, back in the day I remember them seeming to have more of a prestige air about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Ahh, it's ok I've discovered a much easier way than sifting through all that bloody code! They've obviously put in place the same kind of annoying picture protection that flickr uses with that 'spaceball' nonsense as mentioned elsewhere. All I have to do is right click & 'remove this object' & then I am able to right click on any of the eBay pictures for that listing & save image or copy image location as normal - simples! On firefox I haven't got that at all. just checked IE and I am not seeing that on right click either. What browser are you using? So far, hard as I try, I can't work out another way of getting the image URL other that using the page source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thanks Ed! I haven't sussed the new linking thing yet, but this Accord Aerodeck seems like a fine car: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-HONDA-ACCORD ... 0371488978 The listing, background to the pic's etc are all exactly the things I'd look for when buying something.

Spottedlaurel Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 By coincidence, there was another Aerodeck the very next item down on my search list: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-HONDA-ACCORD ... 0466200574 Despite the fact this has less than a third of the mileage of the first one, I'd rather go with the first simply due to the ad, and the fact it's being sold by the long-time owners.

M'coli Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Another way to get the images off eBay on Firefox.Click "enlarge" on the image you want. Right-click on the pop-up and select "page info". Click on the tab "media" and the first piece of content should be the image, just copy this and [img etc as normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mash Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 As much as I love FD series victors.... That van looks promising in the background Blimey, a Leyland EA and potential to be ex-Royal Mail too I think they made them up to about 1984, I remember seeing them lined up outside the main post office in Hull when I was kid and there were definitely A-reg ones.

I've not got the option here on bog standard Firefox 3.5.1.If it's Spaceball, can you still rightclick on the very bottom row of pixels for the picture and save it? That works on Flickr very well indeed, the protection layer is one pixel shorter than the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works on Flickr very well indeed, the protection layer is one pixel shorter than the picture I did try that but decided I preferred the remove object option as it's more satisfying! Find the add on for 'Nuke Anything Enhanced' and then you can right click & get rid of anything, even things you didn't mean to Although it resets back again, so if you leave the page then navigate back to it, you'll have to remove the object again in order to do anything with the picture.
