Welcome along dude.
So what is the mileage? I mean if it's low enough and clean enough to be a concourse motor then standard all the way but if that's not the case...
BOOOOOST... With eleventy million horse powers.

Yes! The XU10J4RS could easily make this with a turbo!
Welcome to the land of hopes and dreams. Some of which may come true.

No they should be automatically resized when uploaded as far as I know!
Tried using image shack or something?

77 Miles?! Thats not bad going! In all seriousness mate, welcome along, hope you stick around for a bit.
I notice you're Location puts you in south east uk....where abouts in the south east? I hail from Hastings, and we've got a couple of other members pretty close too, depending where you're based.

well it looks like the problem is because i took these on my dslr camra at about 15million pixles and that seems to be too much for the maximum stated for attachments. so is that where photobucket comes in to down scale/resize my photo so i can then attatch it. iv had a look and im thinking surly you must be able to do that yourself cant you. am i being stupid about this!!. any help would be most greatfull. cheers

What I used to do to downsize a picture was simply open it in paint. And just save it again (obviously with a different filename) Instant difference!
If that's what you mean?
Pictures went from like 3/4MB to like 1.5MB or less.

No worries man.
On paint there should be an option on the tool bar somewhere called 'attributes' and it'll ask you to downsize by a certain percentage, I think. If it asks you to downsize by pixels well that doesn't work and will cut the picture in half and render my advice pure crap! Haven't owned a laptop or a desktop in over a year. It's definitely there somewhere!
