800 x 600 would be the biggest size and 640 x 480 is good for the dial-up users.

Its up to you if you want to blank out your rego, obviously Tim doesnt, and i really dont care about doing mine anymore

I also do all my pics in 640x480 makes it easy for dialuppers as Xmetal said

I wasted 2 hours this morning trying to get these pics uploaded. I kept getting errors, too big (even at 640x480) and eventually got them down to 500x???. Then it wouldn't let me load more than 4, so i tried to do this before IE crashed and i lost the post.
If someone reckons they might have better luck i will email them the pics and they can post them for me, either that or i will have another go one day. For now i gratiously accept defeat.

Go to www.eurofordclub.com/gallery and register there, it takes two seconds.

There you can make an album and it will automatically resize the photos and all that good gear - all your cars in one album.

Go to www.eurofordclub.com/gallery
Register (top right hand side of the page)
Go into members galleries
Create new album (might say create new nested album)
Upload photos!

Then we can link the photos here - but if you can get them into the gallery, I can help you with that.

I am on msn at polar988@hotmail.com if you need help with the gallery.

Or email them to tim@eurofordclub.com

The sports sedan. Currently only runs a mild 2lt, but was planning to go Duratec HE on injection. Super light weight, 10in slicks, new paint and running gear - fun.

gt002.jpg
The RS. Has a long history including Group C racing in the seventies and drag racing (tubo charged) recording 10.6 on the 1/4. Is now a shell at the panel beaters and will return to Historic Group C hopefully soon.

gt003.jpg
The Mexico replica - i use this for club sprints and have owned it for about 10 years. I have also driven it in this state of tune all over the place. A great & reliable car.

gt004.jpg
The St170 - my daily driver. It's standard, at least until the warranty expires and i love it.

gt005.jpg
My gold 75 1300, which i bought locally from a one owner old lady. Will leave this one as it is - original, though it may get a repaint and some dents removed, but that is all.

gt006.jpg
The latest purchase, a very original MK2 Ghia 76. Colour is listed as a blue, not sure of name. Might repaint it soon, other than that it is very good.

gt007.jpg
The Twin Cam currently in long term storage. A project for sometime down the track, and more likely once i find an egine for it.

Am I able to join as well Timmeh. I'm really wasting no time here. I really want a rear window sticker! as i had an e-series one on my old EF falcon and My Zetec looks naked without one!

fordel · 06-04-2005, 07:34 PM

You will need to provide details of your car and some pics to either Tim or myself and then we can create a page for you, check out the post in this forum in regards to getting a sticker

Chris

Timmeh · 06-04-2005, 11:42 PM

You sure can join, as Chris said, check out the thread on the club stickers - more than happy to accomodate you there!

Victoria finally has a Fiesta, after NSW is dominating with close to ten now I think.

:edit: Sorry, Oxyg3n was the first Victorian Fiesta!

Tim

Danny · 07-04-2005, 12:37 PM

Looks very much like my baby, same colour by the looks of it, only mine is a 2L manual.

Some great examples you've got there mate, I'm guessing most of them run manual, and am I wrong in recalling that the Mk II is a 1600 auto? Also, I'm curious, which carby does the Mk II have?

Long live the Escorts

Hi MaddestMan,

So what colour blue is that. I know it's not wedgewood like my old 79 MK2 Rally Pack (RIP).
Yeah, all the others are manual 4 speed except the Ghia with is slush box heaven - wack it in gear and crooooooze.
It's only got the single barrel Ford carby and low compression engine as it was built late 1976 (after July) and is an ADR27a model. I was hoping it would be the GT engined pre July version with the Weber, but still couldn't resist buying it.

Cheers, GT

Sorry, I wouldn't have a clue what that colour is called, I tried looking up the colour on the compliance plate, but all that told me was that at some stage my car has been resprayed, as the compliance plate says it was white. :(

Ahh, I was thinking it was probably the single barrel carby, but thought maybe it might have been the pre-july 76 version with the Webber - I've got a Ford manual here from the release of the "new" Escort, which is very interesting indeed.

If I can find out what that colour is, I'll let you know, I want to find out too for myself so I can get it resprayed that colour and no longer have the reminders of when it was attacked...

Oh, and I know what you mean about being unable to resist buying...
