Work came to a stop last year due to a house move, I was backed into a corner, so early Feb I shipped the whole job to Nigel Sandell to fit the engine, get the car running and on the road. I drove it home yesterday (never driven a Rolls before!). Seems to be going very well. |

I'm trying to post a photo but the file is too big and I don't know how to reduce it. Now driven about 100 miles, seems to be going very well. |

Ben, Reduce the size of the pic to a max of 640 x 480. You will then be able to up load the pic. If you are using a tablet, just down load a free re sizer program. The one I have just uses a slider to resize. |

Dear Ben, one of our regulars and fantastic person - Brian Vogel got me into using Microsoft Paint. A very simple to use program and installed on almost every computer. Use it (search Google for "how to find MSpaint on windows XXXXX"). once you have an image opened in Paint you can change its pixel size to suit the forum. If you have problems, message me and I will walk you through it. Thanks Omar |

Ben Here is the link to Brian's original post which gives detailed instructions. http://au.rrforums.net/forum/messages/30/18341.html Before doing so check the application you are using to view your pics does not have a resize capability. Check the menus - maybe under view or image. You are looking for a resize option. If you find one resize your photo to 640 480 pixels. |

Along with W-paint, you can also use Windows Office Picture Manager which allows you to select the size, crop the photo and change sharpness and tones to improve the shot, I use it for nearly everything...quick and easy. I use W-Paint for applying descriptions to pics where you need to describe a part or it's location. |
