Got the Z Yippee

Post by Bill- »

I've done 440 miles since Friday & it's addictive. I have a tan :D :D :D
Day off today so its the beach for me :D :D I'm evaluating wether to take the car to southern Spain this year. Did it in a people carrier with 2 people last year which was brilliant, loads of space & 32 mpg with the pedal to the metal drove over 3000 miles in 2 weeks. The Touran is fantastic but mind nummingly boring. Also it needs new tyres & I just had the gearbox go bang on the M25 on my return from buying the Z. its in for repair & ready soon.. the Z needs just a fluid change :)

There aren't many affordable cars that give as many smiles per mile :D

Use Photobucket and then paste the [img] link, that will size them for you.

Great idea Bill, but I wouldn't post your email address in the open forum! Too many automated programs roaming sites like this looking for email addresses to add to their spam lists....

I would suggest you change it to thompson-william8 (at) sky.com to avoid it being harvested...

There are other photosites like Flickr, ImageShack, Picassa you can use instead.

Glad you are enjoying the Zed more than Photobucket :!:

Is there something the matter with photobucket :?: only ask as I am on it :?

Photobucket now seem to be pushing their "Professional" option that IIRC requires far more detail when registering and carries a subscription charge - you just need to ignore this and stick with the free package.

Personally I use Flickr - but only because I can sign in using my facebook or Google accounts, so no need to add more details to another mailing list!

Also I can up load images direct from my mobile which is nice


Let us know if you need any more help,
