i'm going to award 1.4/10 to this thread for the promise it contains then the total failure to deliver.

[sheffcortinacentre]

well not being a pc genius like you I can't put pics up.so i'll just stick to restoring & building cars, I thought I wasn't on RR but obviously I was wrong.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

You can put pics up, but cant be arsed to find out the 2-3 steps required which are described in minute detail in a pinned thread right above this one.

[sheffcortinacentre]

1. don't have pics other than on paper & no scanner.

2. don't have a digital camera or the know how to get them in to laptop.

3. so not a case of can't be arsed.

4. so any pics of my cars on the net will have been posted by other people.

 

your attitude matches the one of the muppet  in your avatar.

MY CORTINA'S...a dustman, he wears a dustman's hat. He's got a yellow hair do and comes from Ilkely Moor bar t' 'at?

[steve_earwig]

I've just been struggling on that motornutz site again, it's occurred to me that either nobody ever posted a picture evar, or not being a member means you can't see any pictures that have been uploaded to the board.

[sheffcortinacentre]

so mature.

[Pillock]

I was going to be nice and copy the pics over, but even after getting past the copy and paste errors in the signup page (strangely enough the form isn't hosted on my own hard drive, where it wants to load from) it has to wait for a moderator to flick a switch.

 

I tried. Pffft.

[sheffcortinacentre]

cheers pillock, like I said I know sweet fa about computers , but from what I can gather its something to do with someone getting in (hacker???) & putting porn etc on there.

I just did a search for V8 Cortina on their forum, and that was one of the pictures which came up. On a related note, this looks like fun
