Hi Alan. Yes I will try and get some pics on here. However there are 2 problems - 1. I haven't got a clue how to do it (any help much appreciated) and 2. As I havent finished the film off yet, I was rather hoping to use the remaining frames up on my first TVR, which I am hoping to pick next Sunday

Hi, I think the easiest way would be to use www.fotango.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi
If I am correct, you send your film to them, they develop the film, send you the prints and also upload them to the internet in your own private photo album. From there you can make them 'public' and allow others to view. Also Uboot.com do a similar thing, but looks like its aimed at kids.
Failing those options, you could get them develop normally and scan them, then upload them to fotango or some webhosting - this is a bit of a faff. Final option, take you photos to jessops or one of the bigger developing places, they will save your photos to a cd aswell as print them, this makes it much easier to upload.

You might not, but I am sure someone will before the evening is out the question is who will it be?

This has changed my opinion of these, Wasn't too keen on them before, but they look great. How many have been made so far?

Off to the tvr website to have a closer look....

Wot, no pictures of our Flying Fridge, AKA the Volvo??

Michael says hi - it was good to meet everyone for the first time, even CarZee... The baby is a big TVR fan and has already got a Tuscan on his Christmas list!! (So have I, if anyone's offering... ) Remember the Age of TVR Owners thread? Well, this sprog is aiming to be the youngest owner ever....

Oh, and Mungo - you have to dress appropriately if you're going to use the Ladies.

I can't believe what I said to the lady coming out of the cubicle as I was drying my hands... "if this is a ladies toilet, why is there a jonny machine in here" as I pointed at it suddenly realising it sold feminine hygeine products and the absence of urinals...

I honestly just thought it was a posh toilet.




Mungo, bad boy.

Even tried it on with Apache's missus Shaz when Pete went for cutlery. The classic 'you remind me of a girl I used to know called XXXXX' was Mungo's opening line....

Now this pic: do these t350s have really bad turning circles, or are two of you really bad at parallel parking?! :Imonlyveryveryjealousreally:

'twas nice to meet everyone I've heard so much about, and to see what Mungo looks like in real life, just in case he tries the "don't I know you from somewhere" with MY Missus PS Mungo: Still don't see the Shaolin monk likeness, you know. Nice to meet a fellow Martial Artiste, though

A fun event - nice to meet you Frostie. Pity it was impossible to work out who was who as would have been good to put some more faces to names. Name tags next time!

Thanks 4 the info Alan. I will prob get them developed and printed, then scan them in and upload them 2 fotango. As I prefer film rather than digital, it will prob take a week or so before I'm able 2 upload them. Hope everybody doesn't mind waiting.

That's ok Andy. I didn't know what 2 expect as I've never been 2 anything like this before. I decided 2 grab something 2 eat from the Total garage over the road as I had a roast dinner waiting 4 me when I got home. Pics look great! It's a shame that I didn't get 2 meet Bennno and fish as well. Oh well maybe next time....

Good to put a few faces to names, and cheers for the Al, I owe you one!!

Was a good day all round, pity I had to leave early to try and get some sleep (which I didn't in the end)!! On my night shift now feeling knackered! Oh, well, only another 11 hours to go! Alarm call anyone???
