What have you tinkered with today?

[gt alex]

Here's the fiat 126p. They were sold here as a FSM Niki, mine is a Australia only prototype with no roof or doors.
Only 2 were made I bought this one I bought from a wrecker yard about 15years ago and I just found out the other one has just been found after storage since 2009. I will post a picture soon

reply; go advanced

At the top you see a yellow box with a mountain(?) inside. Click that and paste in the URL to the picture you uploaded.

Submit reply/preview post and you'll see the picture links in

No, you have to upload it to a sharing site, such as the one Bib's shared.

Top man, many thanks for the info. Having said that.. I've also got the option of using a dedicated motorcycle cigarette style charger I've had forever! My current satnav uses this type and I can use one of those USB plug in things if I need to charge then phone!!? What would be a suitable fuse rating for a cigarette style charger?

[Bibio]

look at how many amps the charger puts out, that might give you a clue. tbh i personally would not bother with a fuse.

ok i'll try my best to explain with some pretty pictures

go to https://postimages.org/

then choose your image size:



press the choose image button:



browse to where your image/pic is on your computer:



click on the image/pic then press the open button, your image will start to upload:



once uploaded choose the "direct Link:" icon on the right hand side. this will copy the link to your clipboard:



go to the thread on here that you want to post the picture in and press the box with the mountain in:



a pop up window will appear, right click in the box and choose paste from the drop down menu, then click ok:



if all has gone well you should have the postimage direct link pasted between [IMG]pastedlink[IMG], if you do then press reply.



top tip. when writing a reply you do all the above where you want the image to be like i have done above. good luck and if you have any questions just ask.
