Hello all

Post by Tourniquet » Sun Aug 20, 2017 5:23 pm

Hey guys and girls

My name is Mark and I'm new to the forum after picking up my X5 last Tuesday. Had a 3 series before this, but thought it was a bit boring and a dad car being the 05 shape, so bought myself a completely unnecessary X5 as a toy to keep me happy while I start for the 3rd bloody time to save up for another Toyota Supra.

Here are some pix, and beware, I may ask lots of stupid questions because I'm new to BM's after not really liking them until about 2 years ago. I got my 3 series cheap and was completely converted. Always been a fast Ford guy until I grew up, and then I got a loan and promoted myself to Jap Wizard

Hi and welcome to the forum. Don't be concerned about " stupid questions " it's  more stupid not to ask.
They are a good bunch on here and you won't get the usual sarcastic replies that are common to other forums.
As you probably have noticed tinypics isn't working as it should over the last few weeks, so your photos havnt come out.
I have started using PostImage to put up photos. We look forward to seeing your latest purchase, as well as other past and present motors you have / had .

[/quote]yes I'm on iPad too, the tinypics worked well until a couple of weeks ago, but it's part of Photobucket and they have pulled the plug on free sharing. They want people to subscribe.

Ahh ok. So how do I link PostImage to this thread in order to use it because if I want to add a photo, the tiny pic thing is the only one that opens up

$400 a year is an expensive subscription.

Go to google, type I PostImage to open the site. Click on choose image this opens your photo library / screenshots etc. Choose the image , press done then the next boxes appeared pick hot links for forum

Then click the right hand blue box to pick this option, it will copy the image.
Then go back to the forum and paste into the dialogue box
