I don't actually, which is a shame. It's tasty.

On hosting files and pics; I copied this from the Vortex:

Here is a list of different image hosting websites that you can use hereâ€¦

http://www.digitalpose.com

Free, relatively easy to use, setup different albums, add descriptions.

http://www.imagestation.com

Free to use, has 3mb per picture and 40mb per movie limit. This will only work if you take the .orig.jpg off the end of the picture url. Unfortunately it will also only put up a 450x300 image maximum. There are several upload options, browse, explore, drag and drop.

http://www.mydubmedia.com

This is a free host for pictures of Volkswagen and Audi's. The guy running it is a fellow Vortex member.

http://www.hostdub.com

This is a paid host for pictures and video starting at $5.00 a year. There are 3 different packges available and the guy running it is a fellow Vortex member.

http://www.fototime.com

Free 30 day trial, but after there is a yearly fee depending on how much space you want.
$23.95 - 250.00 MB
$47.90 - 500.00 MB
$71.85 - 750.00 MB
$95.80 - 1000.00 MB

http://www.geocities.com

To make it work from geocities you need to rename your .jpg or .gif files to .txt then uploand and link to them just like it was an image. There is still one other problem with using geocities as your host. They have a limit on bandwidth per file and once you exceed that in one day they will stop hosting the picture till the next day.

If you have payed the $5.00 a month for webspace you do not need to use the .txt trick and you will not have to worry about the bandwidth limit every day.

http://www.tripod.com

To make it work from Tripod you need to rename your .jpg or .gif files to .txt then link to them just like it was an image.

http://www.angelfire.com

To make it work from angelfire.com you need to rename your .jpg or .gif files to .txt then upload and link to them just like it was an image. There is still one other problem with using angelfire.com as your host. They have a limit on bandwidth per file and once you exceed that in one day they will stop hosting the picture till the next day.

Or, you can buy webspace and a domain name for as little as 5$ a month an host them yourself. Like I ended up doing.

I think it was a factory Polo colour, I have a Derby brochure at home from the late '70's. I'll have a look and see if I can scan it and host it up for you. Has all the colour & trim options in there... some tasty stuff, brown tweed & tan etc etc!
