    Fastback Rapier? There was one of them for sale near me recently but it was completely rotten underneath, a shame as it was a local one owner car.

    Yup thats the one. I'm 99% sure its the same one I spotted last September a few miles from where I took the above. Though this picture isn't much good either!

    bask in the reflected glory of this '85 Audi

    also spotted a 93 avant, but the pic is brutal, I won't bother posting it


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,079 ✭✭✭✭Duke O Smiley


    Wow that Audi is some find!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,427 ✭✭✭tc20


    the guy had driven into Woodies as I was about to leave, so I did a lap and took the pic. He was still in the car, so I didn't want to appear too shifty :D

    Cootehill Co. Cavan from a couple of days ago - 95 Suzuki Swift and a 92 Jetta. Unusual to see two such cars in the same shot "in the wild" :)

    There's 2 of them painted in the galway colours and flags out the Galway road, across from Lidl. Look well.

    Still there......

    Saw a purple 1970 Humber Sceptre parked last night. I had a peek in the windows, one of my favourite cars I must confess. It was too dark to take a picture unfortunately. Winter is coming it's still dark when I'm finished night shift.

    Probably should get out more

    A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

    I got pics of the Sceptre on my phone. How do I upload them? If anyone has the patience to guide me I'd be very grateful.

    Hey jca,

    First and foremost you will have to connect your phone to your PC or laptop via a USB data cable. Similar to something like this but the correct type for your phone.

    You will then be able to upload the photos to an image hosting site. For this I'd recommend imgur.com as it isn't a difficult site to navigate.

    Once on imgur - click on the "New Post" button in the top left hand corner

    28990101884_d5ab3f8609_o.png

    It'll open a tab that looks like this

    29505576642_e76d05869a_z.jpg

    Click "browse" and another tab like this will open

    28991981963_4c7c982aaa_z.jpg

    If your phone is connected via the USB cable you'll need to find it on the left hand side of the tab. Mine is highlighted in blue here.

    Click it, and you should have a folder called "DCIM" - meaning digital camera images. Click into it, and there should be another folder labelled "camera" or "photos" or something to that nature. You'll have to find your photos here.

    Once you have found the photo, click on it once and it should highlight blue. Click "open" at the bottom of the tab and the photo should start uploading to imgur.

    Once the photo is uploaded (the green bar at the top of the screen will disappear), right click and click "copy image address" like so

    29615896795_18f5bd3672_o.png

    And then come back onto Boards and in the reply box there should be a little yellow square "insert image" like this

    28991982023_0628b2057b_b.jpg

    Another box will open up, and you just right click on the bar and hit "paste" and then hit "Ok"

    29325906160_1e5207c3b6_o.png

    And your photos should be on here once you hit the reply button!

    -

    I do hope this helps, and I haven't made it overly difficult :o

    I'd love to see the photos though!

    Great explanation. I'll do it either later or tomorrow. A lovely car, I didn't want to be too cheeky and take interior pics which is a pity as all the wood trim was perfect.

    I use postimg.org on my phone if I have taken the pictures with my phone it's alot easier then connecting to laptop or pc.

    Just go to https://postimage.org/ select choose image and find your picture you want to post and upload it.

    When it's done uploading it will give you some links to the image at the bottom of page you pick the copy tab on the hotlink for forum and it copies the link and you just paste it here.
