Glad you like it Rocky, it's a 1991.

I'd love to find a Turbo I-5 A200 Quattro with a stick, or the S4, like a 93' or 94 as a good work car. That's when Audi made really nice cars, that weren't overly expensive.

Thanks a real looker.

Buick Special. 1962.
I got stung on looking up one of those earlier. Didn't remember the name "Special" was applied as a model line.

I have to agree. I remember these, these and the Olds and the Pontiac versions were the original compact cars of the 60's. I remember one snowy winter watching these going up the steep hills in the Pittsburgh area going around all the full size cars that were spinning their wheels.

Renault Modus, the Francophone version of the Nissan Note/Tone.

not that I ever saw much of them in the first place.

Which means a Lotus engineer took a tuning fork, smacked it against the car once, and let them put their name on it.

A friend of a friend has one and removed all except those Lotus badges. Yeah, sure, that'll fool all the girls. :P

I guess that the GEO Storm version was the one that didn't get smacked with the tuning fork.

Can you tell me how to get pictures on the forum like your doing?

andys120

If you mean where I get pictures that's kind of a trade secret but I'll give you a two word clue: "google images".

As to how:

-Copy the url of your picture onto your browser
and then use the "Img" button below the text box.

-Paste the url after the "img src" prompt on screen and...

-Hit the "close all" button and post the message.

Have fun!

1968 Camaro SS

What motor? I recall the redstripe tires!!! (from pictures-that was before my time .)

subearu

The 396 (325 - 375 hp) was an option on the SS, standard engine was the 350 (295 hp).

I'm wondering if this is really an RS/SS Camaro (you could order both RS and SS packages back then).

-Brian

andys120

Absolutely, it's a 396.

Is it a Lancia Fulvia?

(I saw something like it on ebay yesterday...I can never get the Fulvia/Flavia thing straight, as I don't exactly see these often)

andys120

I can never get the Fulvia/Flavia thing straight

Me neither but the pictured car was a 1962 Lancia
Flaminia Cabriolet.

I knew I was forgetting a "Fl" car...doh

Why is the tristar upside-down?

andys120

I don't know why the Tri-Star is upside down. :confuse:

In any case sorry Juice, it isn't a 300SL.

M-Benz 190SL 1955-63

fintail

Weird that the star is upside down, I've never seen one like that

magnette

Please could you tell me what the red British kit car was that you posted last week - I know I should know it, but it just won't come to me.....

magnette

Never see these around, period. We didn't get these....

andys120

M-Benz 190SL 1955-63

Yep, it's a '62.

Try another?

johno111

Infinity Q45. Not sure of the year 2000 is my best quess.

subearu

I think the '99 had more chrome on the grill. So, that one pictured is a 2000 or 2001. I'll say '01 since John picked '00.

Ferrari 575 Maranello

You can't link to pictures on your hard drive. You have to find them on the internet somewhere, like this:

rockylee

Well explain to me how ya do that.

Rocky

P.S. What a Beaut, eh ?

andys120

'55 or '56 Mercury, probably a '56 Monterey HT.

johno111

55 Mercury, not a Monterey but a Montclair....

You have to find the picture first. Google Image search is a good way to find stuff, and sometimes I'll just go trolling around until I find something. Once you find the picture, right-click on it to get the link and check the pixel size (something like 345 by 240). If the first number is larger than 450, you'll need to find a smaller picture or set the size manually. Copy the link and paste it into the Message window, then highlight it and click on the little Img button above the Confused Car icon.

If you need to resize the picture, put width="000" height="000" in between the quote after the link and the end bracket. The width number should be 400 or 450, and the height number should be proportional to what the original was. You may have to bust out the calculator to figure it out. Divide the new width by the old width, then multiply the result by the old height. This one is 497 by 346 pixels, so 450/497 is 0.90543... times 346 equals 313.

Velite concept, IIRC?
