We have now got the engine and will start installing it on Wednesday. We will take picts and a video of the first start!

Careful when buying tickets online at the Ohio Cobra Club website.  You get a server error after you commit to buy tickets that makes you think the transaction didn't go through.  If you send it through again, you just bought more tickets.  I found out the hard way.  Got multiple receipts via email for tickets.  Oh well, its for a good cause.  I shouldn't have been so cheap and should have bought more tickets anyway.  --  Russ Rittimann

Russ, sorry for the problems, I will pass this on to our  web guy and let him know.
But we do appreciate your support!

Thanks George.  It's certainly for a good cause.  Get computer literate so we can see the prime motive power.  Paraphrasing what  Paul says, without pictures it just hasn't happened.

George, try this:

• Open up new post by clicking "Reply"
• Type whatever verbiage you want into the white box area. Just like a normal post
• Click on "Attachments and other options" located just below the box you type in
• Click on box that says "Choose File" That will open a browser window that you can navigate to the folder on your computer that you have the pictures in.
• click on the picture file you want to upload and its file name will be in the Attach: box
• if you want to upload more, add them by clicking on "(more attachments)" You can have a total of four per post.
• when you have the names showing in the boxes, click on "Post" in the lower right corner. NOTE: Don't click preview. If you do, it won't show the pictures and it has been known to keep files from uploading.

One area of caution. If your files are real big, they may not upload. You are limited to about a 1Meg picture file and many cameras now take pictures that are 5-12megs. If you need to resize them, do a Google search for picture resizer. It is free and will install on your computer. Or email them to yourself and they will generally get downsized.

Hope that helps. I want to see the pictures!

Russ, We have checked it out and we did have a server issue at that time. The problem is now fixed and everything should be good. (famous last words) Thanks again for your support.

How about an interior picture

When I go in my own garage and see a bare black frame, bare gelcoat body up in the air, boxes and boxes of parts -- these pictures give me hope... still have to pinch myself sometimes to realize "its really happening!"

Bob, you have to get busy to make the Texas show in April!

Don't feel bad though, we have all been where you are now. Remember, one bolt at a time!

George, I will definitely be in San Marcos come April.  Already registered.   I'll just be wearing the hurricane hat and t-shirt, not driving this year...
