Could have fooled me into thinking it was a BLMC prototype that somehow escaped the Zetland works in Sydney.

Obviously not homemade, but certainly a Ford Australia homebrew. (Click on the pic to see it in decent resolution) Just-visible signwriting shows it was owned by the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Authority, so it seems this ute spent its entire life (and afterlife) up in the mountains.

Whenever the software update happened in 2019 and people started moaning about their pictures being shrunk, there were assurances that they would be resized on a rolling basis - and while I appreciate that it's a herculean task for admin computer run-time, at least this way I can go through some of my old threads and fix the bloody photos (like the Junkyard Jewels thread that got shrunkified about a week after I'd spent a year uploading pics of every car in the scrapyard).

Appreciated! glad to have been able to help! and yeah I remember that and patiently waited for the images to resize when they never did sadly (so as above went and manually fixed mine, well not all of mine, but the important* ones like all the Pictures in the survivors list on Page 24 of my thread ) @tobyd if you dont mind me asking (and I know I bother you a lot with various forum niggles!) but im curious is the 100x100 thumbnail on old photos issue something that can still be sorted server side or would it be unfeasible to do now? just purely curious at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
