Alright guys just thought id say hello. recently got myself a gti6 in the classic blaze yellow. awsome. it is standard as they come. and i mean standard, not evan a hint of k'n;N. and lowish miles too. so bit of a blank canvas really.unsure weather to keep it like that and join the classic pug boys or mods mods mods. or masive strip down for track day action. either way cant wait to get started in world of pugs.
nice to meet you all.

Welcome This could be an interesting project if you decide to start modifying!

[Andy]

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.

Welcome along mate, have you tried photo bucket.

[woody]

ok will have a look at that thanks guys for all the help

[Piggy]

welcome...

keep it as it was intended if its so good!

[woody]

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

[Andy]

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.

[WiNgNuTz]

Or use photoshop?

thats just what i mean mate. my photos are about 5.2 and the max is 4.6 i think so il try that. i opened it in paint ealyer but couldnt seem to downsize in there. however i did not try to save it. cheers andy il keep trying mate

[Andy]

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!
