My new model of a Gulf Ford GT 40 arrived this afternoon .
I have spent most of the day trying to figure out how to get a picture from one computer on to my 1995 I Mac so that I can play at altering the picture . It has been a long process . I dug my computer out of my wardrobe . It still works ! I managed to get the picture onto a USB stick but the Mac wouldn't recognize it . I then used our old laptop to burn the picture onto a CD and transferred it to my Mac . I now need to remember how to use the Photoshop bit .

You could just download the Gimp. It's an open access photoshop clone; I've been using it for years.

Eeek! Mine too and I haven't put it out yet! I'll wait until it gets light though 😊

EDIT: A quick glance out the window reveals that nobody else has put bins out. They have been messing around with the collection days since Christmas so I'll have to ask a neighbour which day the council are collecting this week.

I used to use Pixlr editor for convenience but I see there's a new version (or two) out now:

Oh, and President Trump has been impeached. Again.

It didn't seem to have much effect last time .

Thanks but it is a bit late now. I have been thinking of alternative ways of manipulating the picture . One way was to actually cut and paste and colour in the missing bits .
It was nice to dig my Mac out. I have forgotten how to use it but it has memory and a cd read / writer .

Not wanting to do politics in here, but isn't it a ploy to stop him running again in 4 years time?

Big wodges of wetliness here. Despite an urge to take the recycling out, I shall devote more time to my mugs of tea instead.

Having truly horrible problems getting the rear view and side views of the Higman to match on the scale drawing.

I suspect the numbers I've been given for wheelbase and chassis width aren't the right ones. Either the wheelbase isn't 78 inches, or the chassis width isn't 29 inches or they're *both* something else.

So I've asked a friend who wrote the book on Superstox racing. Literally. Will see what he says.

Do you know the wheel size ? Are they 13 inch ? If you know the wheel size you should be able calculate the wheelbase .
