Welcome to the forum John. As jamesbo stated there are others here from the Netherlands. If you have pictures in your computer than you can post them here. This is one method.
When you hit the "post reply " on the bottom left , a new window will open where you can type in a response. Under that window "scroll down" you will see a tab that says " manage attachments. Click on that and another window opens where you have 5 "browse" tabs in it . Click on the first tab and find the picture you want to post. when you have opened that picture make sure that you click on the "upload" button and you picture will attach itself to the message. You can preview the message before posting it to make sure it is in there. You can add 5 pictures this way as long as the pictures are not too big.Good luck.

pics 101


When you reply make sure you are in “Advanced” If it says post a “Quick reply” hit “Advanced”

Scroll down below the box you type in and hit “ Manage Attachments” A new box will pop up.

Hit “Browse”

The hit “Upload” and wait a few secs for the pics to up load. Then close this box.
Next you can hit “Preview Post and your pictures should be there.

There is a size limit on pics

Welcome, good looking ride.
I like blue too.

Going by that shine and those clearly focused reflections that paint job looks about a mile deep, or should I say kilometer deep?

John,

Maybe we could meet @ the Dr Mustang meet in Oberhausen last weekend in July! We (grandson & I) haven't missed the last 3 yrs!
Do you know about Dr Mustang? It's about 70% Mustang/Ford, but everyone's welcome. Last July there were over 1200 Cars there!

Super!

Oberhausen is from Venlo to Kamp-Lintfort, then about 30 Min more by Autobahn.
