There are three options....

1. The prefered way of posting a picture is to attach it to a post. To do this you must make the image below 55Kb. Create a post and select 'preview/attach file' -> attach the file and complete the post. Then view the post and view the attached picture -> copy the location (images/rsul/....) and then edit your post and paste the location into the 'Image Instant UBB Code'
Should look like this [image] images/rsul/.... [/image] (No spaces)

2. Create your own Gallery and link to the pictures in the Gallery. Please do not insert huge pictures into the posts as it is dial-up unfriendly. If the pictures are huge, then you can link to them in a post by using the 'URL Instant UBB Code' and you will get something like this http://gallery.rs246.com/albums/TurkS4/.... " target="_blank"> http://gallery.rs246.com/albums/TurkS4/.... (Again no spaces)

3. When all else fails, ask a Moderator or Admin to help.

If this doesn't make sense, blame Phil [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Your car is a nice colour btw [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ken...what makes you think I should be changing the tyres, the car is 30 months old and has done 7000 miles...and the tyres themselves have 7-8mm on them????

Mog,

Alright !

Mine is unmod. and plan to upgrade recently.
The first thing on my list is the tyres as it is the first thing touching the road. Everybody tells that a better performance tyre would be the most valuable upgrade !

You spent a lot on others and gave away the stock parts but wondering about the tyres ? [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Ken..

How often do you drive to the limit of your tyres where they are starting to break away.

Hi Mog,

It depends.
If making a quick turn/sharp cornering even at 50/60mph, we still need a high performance tyre especially on street driving.

Ken Sir

If you have a set of "R" Tyres!! Do they really give you the cofidence to do a sharp turn at 60mph?? Your car is worth over HK$600,000!! [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Talk later!
