Hello from Dublin, Ireland.

Post by carlosfandango »

Hello there.
Not sure if you have anyone else from the Emerald Isle so here I am!
I've owned my 124 Spider (in one form or another) since about 1989. I used drive it as a daily then, which was unusual at the time as there wasn't a big classic car scene here then - there is now. I've a few other bits and bobs as can be seen in my sig, but I also ride bikes, specifically Brit bikes. My pride and joy is a Bonnie T140 flat tracker, it's pretty unique in my town.
So, that's pretty much me. I'm a self confessed petrol head for over 30 years now, hoping the next 30 will be as much fun ;-)

Welcome aboard! You will find plenty of knowledgeable and friendly people here.

Here is a thread on how to post pictures directly to the forum:

And here is another picture-posting thread:

This short instruction covers how to resize pictures so that they don’t get cut off at the right side:

Pictures can be easily and quickly resized using Windows.
You do not need to open the image file, therefore no image viewing software is needed.

1. First find where the image is stored on your computer.
2. Click on the image file to high light it.
3. Right click, then select "EDIT"
4. Click "RESIZE" in the upper left corner of the screen
5. Click on "PIXELS"
6. Make sure that "MAINTAIN ASPECT RATIO" is checked.
7. Retype "725" in "Horizontal" field.
8. Click "OK"
9. Save image, if desired. I put them in parallel folders with “resized” somewhere in the description..

It will now be resized and will show fully and properly on the forum, using standard Windows software.

And here is a link to a map of Spider owner’s locations. Many forum members have listed their locations.
