Your pics will still be on your host site... those you uploaded anyway.

And the word association thread hardly counts, as it's not increasing my post count... :tongue:

:lol: You're an anti-post whore. In the day to day world of proper bmw threads, you feel restrained, desperate to conform with moderate posting. Given the chance to run free and away from the stigma of a sizeable post count, your fingers run riot in a cocophany of sylables and sentances. The true whore in you is unleashed!

Yeah host site has them all. Except they are a quarter of the original size and compressed, losing some of the quality :(

I'll vote for your car, only as my picture made it look so pretty. As for your burger, I fart in it's general direction. Childs play.

My vote is still with josh.

It would be with you chrisp but for the quality of the pics. The front on one is good, but spoiled by the a-tech thing (no offence ant)... remember its going to be the header so quality of pic is as important as quality of the car.

But I still vote for josh.

Your car is superb.... but so is his, and you're not 14 :wink:

(and no I'm not grooming him, I just think its a cool achievement for a kid to have such a clean nice OLD car)
