Hi all,
New to the forum and have been reading some helpful hints and decided to finally register. I have recently purchased a late 79 model Spider 2000 Fuel injected (CSO).
Not too sure when it was imported to Australia, thinking it was around late 1980's or early 90's and has been converted to a RHD.
Looking forward to contribute what I can and learn as much as possible.
Cheers,
Dom

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

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.
