First you need to have a picture of your car stored on a webserver. There are loads of these services about for storing pics, one is Fotango, or you can email me the pics and i will upload them for you and send you the URL.

Once you have done this, go to this page and click on "Add Car".

Fill in your car details and where it says "Picture URL" type the URL (www address) of your car picture.

Nahh,

Open your profile and click edit, rather "?????? - click here to edit my profile". Go to the insert picture link and then browse your computer for the picture you want. Doubleclick the picture you want and it will upload to the site.

Et voila.

Thanks for your help I have managed it...finally!

I used the upload picture option on my profile, but it only lets me upload one picture. If I want to have more than one picture on my profile do I need to have a URL for my pictrues and then paste the URL into the 'my cars' section on my profile?? (Does that make sense??)

Thanks again

Or where you put the info about yourself, put a piccie in there:

eg:--------------------------------------------
I am a ricer and serial Vmaxer [pic] suprapic [/pic]
---------------------------------------
Rest of profile here:


What is it you put between [pic] and [/pic], is it a URL?

Thanks

Hey, easy tiger! It may "only" be a Renault, but I'm sure it's his P&J… not everyone can afford to spend what you can.

Besdies, might give your Sierra a run for its money…
