Darren Groves Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 To revive a thread from the old message board, please post a picture or two of your car/cars: Here's a couple of mine on the trip up to Donington: The red one belongs to Trevor Collett (Specials Secretary). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart R Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Here's my Herald, just before setting off to Donington, it's a work in progress as you can see. It seems to be known as 'that multicoloured Herald' but in time for this year's show I managed to get the rear valances painted in Wedgewood Blue, rather than just left in orange primer. I'm on the right and I've known this car all my life. The photograph was taken in the street where I grew up and the bungalow in the background is that of the car's first owner. It was then owned by both my Grandfathers in the 1970s and 80s before being sold on to new owners in Hertfordshire, Leicester and Coventry. Found advertised by Rimmers as a restoration project in 2002, I just had to have it back. It's been a steep learning curve getting the rotten body and chassis up to MOT standards, and plenty still to do. I'll happily resubmit my project write-up if a section for "Your Projects" appears in this forum. Pleased to see the forum up and running again -thanks to those that made it possible., Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Good idea Darren, however for us members with a serial Triumph disorder, this should not be titled show us your car, it should be show us your carS. Anyway, fortunately I'm not too severely afflicted by Triumphitis and I only currently have two of the buggers :-) My GT6 Mk3, owned for 26 years, driven extensively, it's never gonna be concours but it is a tidy and fairly well sorted example Then there is my other Triumph, "The Flying Log" a Dolly 1500HL purchased last year so I can still attend Triumph events with the kids as a single parent as they wont both fit into the GT6. The "Log" will also be my Club Triumph Round Britain Run car this year. Its a solid reliable car and has only covered 51,000 documented miles from new but could do with a bit of attention to a rear wing that was poorly repaired and the paintwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Leicht Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Good morning all - I'm new to the TSSC, but not to the world of Triumph, having been involved with the (P)TSCC* in an old colony, far, far away! My two favourites are my first Triumph, a white '64 Spitfire 4, and a tasty '73 yellow (Mimosa) GT6 Mk3. Grumbles .... no longer have either! Alright, alright ... around 1990 or so, I also thoroughly enjoyed my 2500 TC Mk2 automatic. Armed with some 'super-slip non-grip' General R-280 radials (yes, 185/80 13s), it was a surprisingly capable long-distance carryall. And did I mention driftable at the prod of a pedal? I digress ... Annoyingly, my '71 TR6 lives across the Big Water in the south of the US ... under the care of my retired dad for now. Long story there. The TR is a long way from perfect, though looks nice'n shiny when photographed, but was (is?) meant to be put through a proper resto sometime. Hah. To keep? Or to pass on in favour of my true wish - a solid GT6 Mk3 ... or probably better still seeing as I am getting soft, a Stag. (Heck, a forrin' V8 by Rover or a Triumph straight six also OK ... restoration to TV8 would happen in time). O the woes! If I whip myself into a frothy of action, I'll scan in some more photos of Triumphs past. Need to find 'em first though! Somewhere ... somewhere ... *detective work, if the clue's not working for you! Best etc etc, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I give up, don't do Facebook or Twitter, just joined Photobucket......what a nonsense to put a photo on. In the words of Dragons Den. I'm out! And Cookie stop showing off with your multiple photos thingy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTV8 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hi Mike - i nearly gave up..... in the end i created a Flickr account and uploaded the picture. Once uploaded their was an ability to 'Share' (picture of an arrow) the photograph. When i chose that you get 3 options - link, Html or BBCode - of which i found that BBCode looked the best bet 9and you can choose the image size) I Copied the whole string from the window in Flikr , but it didn't work as expected, so i then tried using everything enclosed by the first and second tags - the forum does seem to like me showing an example i'm afraid! This seemed to work OK - i'd imagine Photbucket has a similar share/export type function In Cookie's case he has probably just added to separate URL's within the same forum post hope this is of some use ....

67Spit Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Took me about 4 attempts, but had success by creating a folder in the "Gallery" (on menu at top of page), uploaded photo into my folder, selected and right-clicked on the photo, selected "direct link to this image file". This leads you to a page with just this photo, copy the address in the er... address bar at the top of your browser. Return to the "Show Us Your Car" message, select "reply to this topic". Write your blurb in the box and then select the image icon in the middle of the bottom row of the toolbar. Paste the address of your photo you copied earlier, and hey presto you should have attached your photo? You may have to resize the photo if it is too large, (free programs are available on the main TSSC site to do this). If anyone has a quicker solution please let me know!
