If you have a picture on your computer you'd like to use, go to www.imageshack.us and upload it on there, then once that's done, copy the web address for the picture (I think it's the last box on there called "Direct link to image")

Then go to profile at the top of the forum page, scroll down to signature, and paste the address, and finally when you've done that you need to put Image after it

eg [img]http://www.********.co.uk/image.jpg[/img] without any spaces.

Hope that isn't too confusing :lol:

Nice - apart from the wheels, mine is that dirty too, after just one trip down the M54! :(

Washing it later, naturally :)

My wheels were done yesterday which took me 1 1/2 hours, and my finger was in agony afterwards!

Yup, I just meant that my wheels, at the time, were cleanerthan yours but my bodywork was filthy :wink:

Mine's all clean and shiny now and tucked away in the garage!

I use Paint Shop Pro myself, to manipulate and create graphics. For my sig I cropped the original image and resized it to suit, its 240 pixels wide by 90 pixels high at the mo. Then used imageshack to upload it from my computer, copied and pasted the "direct link to image" hyperlink from imageshack into my profile!

Any help?
