[size=5][color=#0000FF][b]Adding photos to a post on Safari Mobile (iPad & iPhone)[/b][/color][/size] [media]http://youtu.be/EqGV0ICesrA[/media] [color=#0000ff][b]Steps[/b][/color] When attempting to post pics via Safari mobile you may find it’s a little trickier than on a Desktop, hopefully this guide will help. The usual Photobucket account creation and upload steps apply, so please follow steps 1 to 9 from the "Desktop Guide" above. The forum posting tools are not present on mobile Safari (iPad/iPhone), this can be dealt with by using the IMG link instead of the Direct link, as per below steps. 1. Go to your Photobucket account via Safari (this guide does not cover the iOS app). 2. Navigate to your photo. [url="http://s1321.photobucket.com/user/StuZed/media/Screenshots/Pic_zps2v9ebsnf.png.html"][img]http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u544/StuZed/Screenshots/Pic_zps2v9ebsnf.png[/img][/url] 3. Tap once in the IMG field (shown in the red rectangles). 4. Tap and hold in the same field (you may need to slide your finger fractionally right or left to trigger the magnifier). 5. Once the magnifier pops up, let go. 6. The “Select, Select All, Paste” menu should have appeared as per below. [url="http://s1321.photobucket.com/user/StuZed/media/Screenshots/IMG_177190_zpslho0yoae.png.html"][img]http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u544/StuZed/Screenshots/IMG_177190_zpslho0yoae.png[/img][/url] 7. Tap “Select All”. 8. More options appear.

Tap “Copy”. 10. Switch back to the forum and your waiting post. 11. Tap and hold in the post field where you want your image to appear. 12. Let go. 13. The “Paste” option appears 14. Tap paste et voila.

There are many posts created asking how to upload photos; below is an attempt to outline the various steps for posting photos, all in one place. It currently covers adding:[list] [*]photos via Desktop and Laptop (PC or Mac) [*]photos via Mobile Safari (iPad & iPhone) [*]photos for use as your Avatar [*]posting YouTube videos [/list] There's some short videos at the top of the guides and then, falling that, full step-by-steps underneath. Feedback/corrections are welcome - these are not meant to be the fastest or only way, but they are hopefully easy to follow for first timers. If anyone would like to pass me any particular steps unique to Android devices, please PM and I'll add.

They randomly pull people round here all the time, particularly Sundays. Blackpool is stag & hen party town so they know there's going to be loads leaving on a Sunday morning who are close or over. Been pulled myself under this strategy. Officer just asked if I'd had a drink the night before, I hadn't, he let me go and pulled the next but one car. As for the ones for France etc, I bought a few of the single use cheapos for a road trip down to Barcelona - as per Dan, we tested a couple at the end of a night out (not preparing to drive obviously) and they generated mixed results. Wouldn't go with them again, couldn't tell with some of them if I was safe or not from the colour change - and I knew was very not safe. Certainly wouldn't trust my licence to one used in anger.

You mean special delivery

Nice job! Fancy doing my centre console?

If they did an oil & filter change (did they confirm in writing at all? Any receipts or invoices in the file?) and its burnt it all in less than 600 miles (I assume there isn't a huge puddle on your drive or evidence of 5 litres gushing out) then surely, it's not fit for purpose and falls under Consumer Rights Act (formerly sale of goods act)? So you should be able to return for a full refund according to this: http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/problem/the-second-hand--car-i-bought-has-a-problem-what-are-my-rights If I were you I'd reject the car and not get into repairs with them (particularly if they can't even do an oil change). Edit: you need to do stuff in writing, special delivery, signed for etc and I think you have 30 days to kick it back according to the link above. Don't waste any time once you know your ground.

That is a ridiculously cool job! Nice offer

along. An idea of your budget might help out anyone suggesting which particularly Z might be up your street. BBK's is up for sale right now and it's an HR beauty. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/103330-the-bounty-bar-kids-2008-hr-350z-for-sale/

Wow, look at all that shiny goodness! Cracking build.

Love the look, hate the marketing!

I believe bolting them on to you car also "saves weight"

Maybe pop a review up?

This one? http://www.gtech.co.uk/cordless-vacuum-cleaners/car-accessory-kit.html Looks sexy, particularly the flexible crevice tool...

along. Post up some pics of the kit you've seen.

I've got one of these, http://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/interior-cleaning-vacuums/black-decker-dustbuster-12-volt-car-vacuum it sucks. Not in a good way Blows dust out the side, the attachments fall off, it's only virtue is being 12v so I don't have to faff with extensions. Buy cheap, buy gash. I may well be treating myself to some sort of Dyson for Christmas.

Fuel voucher Hello, what have we here...

Steve - I tried that too but no joy Stu - I just downloaded Recuva but it doesn't work on Mac I'll drop you a PM

Ooh, you ould paint the mesh black too, it would look mean.

I don't have much hands on but the program I have used is Recuva and is free https://www.piriform.com/recuva If you can take copies of the original data to work on, it might be safer than working on the original files first time off. Good luck!

It had RAT written on it in pen /thread

I once got a warning point for saying that on here. True story. Not that I'm suggesting you get one though! If you make mine a Diet Coke, I'll let this one go. and I'm not playing rugby for anything.

Sat in a jam the other evening, spotted this interesting modified Corsa. Given the current weather and my frustration at not being able to get out and give my filthy Zed some love, I can almost see the appeal of not having to worry about keeping your paint clean Not seen many rats about, is there much of a scene over here?
