I just couldn't help it...needed to re-post Steve ONeill's Model A ride.

YEP, Photobucket IS IT.........
Gorgeous!
Jerry, Steve's Model A and Rod Larson's green '34 coupe are two beautiful old '30's era Fords.
I still think the years from 1930 to 1940 produced some of the most beautiful cars ever and Fords were very impressive as they had much less length to work with than the larger cars of that era.

Agree, the old Fords were both beautiful and tough..
Dan, I hope you change to photobucket for posting PICS. The pics are awesome. Of course, you have to start with something great.
Jerry, don't know how great, I just wanted to see these Pontiacs a little larger
Than I was getting with Snapfish images. This is about as large as I can go and still see it on the screen.

Dan, bigger is better, but........
I doubled the pixel resolution, then increased the size by about 50%. Can't go any larger as the images are starting to 'pixelate'?? or go ziggy-zaggy, or whatever it is.....
What do you think????

Jerry, My original picture was 2500 pixels wide, so I resized down to 800. When you doubled you went up to 1600, which will fall apart. It's hard to make digital pictures larger as they will always be of less quality than the original.
I like them just large enough to view without having to move them around to see details.
My original post sounded like I wanted to view them even larger but I was satisfied with what I had. I went back and edited the original posting to make it clearer.
Bottom line..I like Photobucket.

OK, understand. If I had the original, I might be able to make it better.
The 800x600 is a good format as most PC users are at or above that on their monitors. I also noticed that if we go above 8x6, say 1024x768, photobucket will destroy the pics in their 'slideshow' function. The pic files remain intact and will transfer or display OK individually. Just their slideshow functions poorly. I believe we need to petition Dave Milne for that "D4C Club members rides" feature presentation. I would be willing to help if I could do it from here.....
Thanks Jerry, just installed a New Battery today !! Lots more power now !!
