2 New Amazing Pix of Kennedys F1...

[mini magic]

forgot the chassis # (dunno how, this car is everywhere)






peloton, how do i do that thing u do with the shrunken pic and then u click and a bigger version comes up?

[TcarR]

Great pics! Its 038 BTW. How hideous is that cayenne in the background of pic 1? I suppose its a 2003 photo based on the fact the cayenne is there?

[mini magic]

haha. someone on sc.net (where someone posted these) said the same thing about the cayenne, lol. I like it btw, but i would rather have a real porsche for the money.

[TcarR]

Can you imagine a ferrari SUV or a McLaren SUV? No. Stick to the 911 and the carrera GT. The Cayenne does porsche the brand no favours at all. Anyway, is this car still for sale?

[mini magic]

i think its still for sale. xotech may know. btw, ferrari kinda have an suv. its called the LaForza, its mad ugly tho and not really associated with them. can someone fill us in on it?

WARNING THIS IS A RANDOM RANT!!!!

What is it with SUVs? They make no sense whatsoever. I can't stand them. Compared to normal cars they are uneconomical, not particulary quick, don't handle very well and clog up the roads. Buy a real car for gods sake. If you've got £60k to spend you get a 911 not a cayenne. If you need space then buy a 911 and secong hand volvo estate. They really annoy me as the only reason people buy them is as a status symbol and cars are made to be driven, not posed in.

RELAX. END OF RANDOM RANT!!!

Ahhh, that feels better.

[mini magic]

AHHHH!!!! i think i just wet myself....

Ok - there's two ways, an easy way and a hard way. Both ways require that you host two versions of each photo, so you might as well learn the hard way, because that one will make you look cool.

With the easy way, you just embed the small picture with [img] tags and then leave the link to the hi-res photo below it as a URL. The hard way leaves you with a clickable image that opens a new window for the high res shot.

Try to follow along...

If you understand the formatting for posting a URL then your a step ahead of the game. If not, pay attention here or use the link to the VB code page to help you figure it out. Once again - ignore the spaces in the code and URL's. I'm only using them so the Code shows up in this thread. Otherwise what you need to see to execute it would be hidden like it usually is.

Posting a URL looks like this

[url = http://www.automotiveforums.com ] www.automotiveforums.com [/url]

The items in bold text (including the "=") are the VB Code for URL's and must be added for a URL to show up as a hotlink. The link in italics is all that shows up on the screen in your post. The great thing about the VB software is that it automatically recognizes URL's and handles the code for you, creating the hyperlink that ends up in your post. The code above without all the spacing ends up displaying like this:

www.automotiveforums.com

The nice thing about understanding the URL UBB Code, is that you can put whatever you want (including an image) in the brackets to show up as the text for the hyperlink:

[url = http://www.automotiveforums.com ] AF.com [/url]

That code would show up like this without spaces:

AF.com

But, even though you can't see the actual web address, the URL inside the VB Code still points your browser to Automotive Forums. Neato.

=============================================

Ok, that should give you the first half of what you need to know. The second half is much easier once you have learned the picture posting part which I'm sure you are already familiar with. Basically, instead of putting text (like a web address) inside the URL Code to display, you put an IMG link.

You need two URL's for this to work, of course. Here are my dummy examples:

Small photo:
http://www.photosite.com/album1234/mypicture_sm.jpg

Large photo:
http://www.photosite.com/album1234/mypicture_lg.jpg

You use the URL for the larger photo first inside the URL Code. You DO NOT use the [img] & [/img] tags for the large photo URL - that would screw it all up. You DO STILL NEED the [img] & [/img] for the smaller photos URL though. If you don't add them, the small photo will not show up and it will only display the link to it. It's written like this:

[url = http://www.photosite.com/album1234/mypicture_lg.jpg ] __ [img] http://www.photosite.com/album1234/mypicture_sm.jpg [/img] __ [/url]

Notice that I added "__" ahead of and at the end of the IMG tags for the smaller photo. This is the one place where you actually need spaces. You must put two spaces there or the whole thing gets all screwed up. Don't ask me why - they just have to be there. You're welcome to try it without those spaces, but you'll be editing your post to fix it.

So when it's all said and done, you should end up with something like this:



See - that's not too hard.

Now - can you go back and edit your post with the huge photos using this new knowledge so this page doesn't side scroll and take forever and a day to load?

I have a new favourite pic. Thats simply incredible, imagine a truck outside your house, yes, now its unloading a car... but wait, a McLaren F1. Hmm there is more. Now I will call my ferrari buddies and go race them.
Now thats a day in the life of one VERY very lucky person.

Kennedy is mad to sell 038.

-Mike

[TcarR]

Kennedy is mad full stop

[XOTech]

Dan is open to selling the McLaren. It is still for sale, but it will not go up for a bargain basement price. He is not desparate to sell.

The car remains a very well cared for car by an owner that does appreciate what it is. I believe I have mentioned this elsewhere, but I have seen many other examples in condition that I would be ashamed to be associated with. Dan's car is not such a car. It has been driven, but it has also been maintained. After seeing the car so many times, I can attest to its condition.

[mini magic]

does it have a turbo like someone suggested (not me, i would never suggest that rediculous idea) ?

"[note: November 12th. I heard 2nd hand that the Owner of The Car apparently didn't want the photos and story on the net, so I removed them]"

CRAP!!! Did anyone save whatever was written there and any pictures that might have gone along with that?
