For those near Va. Beach

Dale, Ed’s ok.  Look in the Frankenstorm posts.  

[edward ericson]

No damage, Dale. Power was out for a day and a half. It’s back now.

Anyone hear from Paul? What about Wobby? Was VT bothered by Sandy?

OK guys – this is my D-Day for the Va beach trip – everyone still up for this and ready to go? It looks like the weather will hold out but be a bit cold. Car is now ready except for a wash and gas.

[billnparts]

We are a GO.
Just pulled an oil change and checked tire pressures.
Can’t wait to roll.
See you for lunch on Friday.

Ed and Bill – please PM me your cell numbers and I will respond w/ mine – Roy – I think I saw yours above someplace.

You guys have fun!

..We have the Brit’s at Poplar Grove Plantation car show in Wilmington, NC Saturday .

It will be interesting to say the least since Olive(MG TDr) and I will probably be the only replica present

[edward ericson]

Looking forward to it. Need to clean my windows is all. Guess I’ll check the tires & oil pressure too.

[Dale Schumacher]

Washed and ready to go – gas up when I meet you guys at 12:30 at the target parking lot – if you can wait 25 miles south of me are places to eat and gas is about 15 cents a gallon cheaper – I think we are 3.45 a gal here. See you then

Gas price here in S.F. bay area just went down. It is now $3.95 a gallon. Was $4.45 a gallon for regular. Premium is higher. who says prices are low. Remember when tank fill up was $10.00.

[edward ericson]

Roger that, Dale. Hoping for some sunshine for a change.

[billnparts]

Left at 8:00 AM and met Ed at 10:00 or so.

Hooked up with Dale at 12:30.

Arrived VA Beach at 5:30.
My knees are killing me. Many thanks to the Irish pub across the way.

Do not like the way pictures are presented when you try to download. I had two to download and it would only take one. The reply box only shows the directory path of the photo, not the photo itself. When I go back to retrieve a second photo, it tells me its already been selected and wont accept it. Whats up?

I recently uploaded multiple pictures into one post with no problems.

The browse/upload side of the screen will just show the address. As will the box in the upper right. But clicking the preview button in the upper right will show the pic as it will appear in your post.

Hate to say it, but the only reason I can think that the pop-up told you you already uploaded that picture is that you picked the same picture again. All it has to go on is filename and location.

Let’s not clutter this thread. Try again, and keep track of every step you take and the system response. If you have a problem, post the details in a new thread ad we’ll take a look.

Enjoy the trip guys and gals! Wish I was there!

Glad you’re home safe, Bill. Good show. I’m going to coble together a blog post in the next couple days and point to it from here. Meantime, another angle on that money shot:

By the way: if that one you took is bigger than 700kb it’s good calendar fodder. Mine is a tiny little phone shot.

[Royal]

Ed, I didn’t get a better shot of this.  You guys were too fast for me.  

[billnparts]

Thats too small, but here’s an 824.

Blog post up.

There’s a lot more pics. Some not even too bad. Sorry ’bout all the words.

[billnparts]

A most excellent write up, Ed. Pretty much summed up the trip. My ass was sore through Monday, but I wouldn’t mind doing it again.

Thanks for the write up Ed,  Bill, you’re a lot tougher than I am.  Bill, I couldn’t open your slide show is there a trick? 

[edward ericson]

Could not see any of Bill’s slide show either
