select the "IMG code" information from below the picture you wish to post and place it in the message box on pistonheads
I tried that and it didn't work :-( EDIT, what the freck? It'll let me copy and paste the img code fine, but when I transfer the entire thing from word, with all the codes in, it doesn't work?!?! There are a lot of pictures, is this my problem?Edited by Speed12Authority on Friday 13th March 13:41
Word can do funny things to HTML (or other) code; try pasting from Word to Notepad and then to here.
Failing that, quote that post with the IMG example again and just select/delete/replace the img location with one of your own?
Failing that, have a cup of tea and hope a PH admin agrees that the Speed12 is so important they should wade in to help you HINT

Hello everyone! I have joined these forums JUST to set the record straight on the Speed 12, and Cerbera Speed 12. I've amassed massive knowledge on the car from speaking to engineers who worked on it, people who drove it, people who saw it etc etc. So here is the full history to my knowledge! (This is picture intense!) :
Right, first came project 7/12. This was the 'Duckpond' referred to earlier. A mockup with no working parts:
Then came a second mock up. This had propper wheels etc, but no engine. I recently saw a picture in the front of Sprint Magazine that looked like this, only it was a recent picture. Has it been fitted with an engine of some description? The body shell was seen somewhere in the midlands by someone on this forum a while ago for thos who recall.
Then came a racing GT1 car:
Same as this car seen on the JC vid:
Resprayed to purple, it looked like this:
GT regulations caused the Speed 12 to be scrapped. However, a new GT2 racer was concocted using the same engine, but few other parts. The basic design was of a Cerbera, only lower, wider, and with more aggressive styling. It was known as the Cerbera Speed 12.
Here is the Cerbera Speed 12 mockup:
A blue race car, and a white race car then appeared. few pictures of the white race car exist (one is in the history section of www.speed12.info). Both raced in 2001, but the white car then disappeared. Race results here:

Pic of the blue race car without stickers:
With sponsor stickers:
A silver road car appeared at a similar time to the blue race car, and was in issues of Evo and Top Gear. Here it is:
This car was then re-sprayed into this:
Meanwhile, a new race car appeared. It had new bodywork, and was black:
When the Cerbera Speed 12 project fell apart, the last generation race car bodywork was used for the road car, the famous W112 BHG(which is the same car as W312BHg and W312BFV):
Finally, various parts from race car shells have been bought up by different people. There's rumours of either the White Speed 12, or the White Cerbera Speed 12 being a pace car in japan (any pics, info?). There's one Cerbera Speed 12 being rebuilt by someone on this forum, and there's also one near Sheffield according to another of my sources. There is also the mysterious picture in the front of Sprint Magazine. Here is the pic of the one being rebuilt by someone on this forum:

The one near Sheffield is the member on PH.He also has more than one shell.
He posted this on PH so i'm not saying anything out of order.
I thought it was Leeds....he sent me some stuff about the car a while ago and his PO stamp was leeds. Nevermind! What happened to that Speed 12 shell that was seen in a garage by a PH member's friend a while ago? It was the original Speed 12, not the Cerbera Speed 12.He posted this on PH so i'm not saying anything out of order.
