    Virgil,

    No expert here but...,

    First, edit the pic down to a sane size..., say 800 x 600 and 47.68 MB or under, and ensure it's in a recognizable format (ie. .jpg, etc.). Then there are a couple ways to have the photo show.

    First, click on the "Go Advanced" button on the bottom of the page. Write whatever text you want, then scroll down below the "smilies" and click on the "Manage Attachments" button. A widow will open. Click "Browse", then select the photo from your computer. Once all photos have been selected, click "Upload". If that completes your post, click "Post Reply". Done. The pic(s) will show as thumbnails which may be clicked on to enlarge. There IS a TTR limit to how many you can store.

    Another method is to upload you pics to a photo sharing website. There are many, some free, some not. photobucket is a popular choice. Set up an account and load your photos. To add to your post, "Go Advanced" or NOT, then click on the "round blue.. with chain link thingy" symbol above the center of the text area. A window will open with "http://" already highlighted. copy the link from the photo sharing site and paste it into this window.... RIGHT OVER the highlighted "http://" YOU ONLY need ONE of these, and more won't work... click OK and complete the post.

    I was hoping someone more experienced, with better word skills would pipe up while I wrote these directions, but it appears I'm the best you've got... for the moment... I have no fear there will be others to correct my errors... Meanwhile, give it a shot. Once once you have it down, it'll be easy.

    Onward...

    it would be a good idea to play some spotting on M4 Don Hightway, Russia.

    There are many old rigs imported to Russia in 90s from USA, EU and UK.... and from Japan))))

    Russian economy was so bad in 90s, so they purchased really junk trucks, now they are all rebuilt and beloved.

    I love the 3408 Ozdriver! I have never driven one, but love the sound. Ofcourse, I also enjoyed the 1693s - took awhile to build a fire, but once you did you were grinning!
     
    SAR Thanks this.

    My KW is an '80 as well but its working days were over in 2004.

    There's a couple older A models still working around here. One outfit has an owner op with an older Ford COE.
