Open a free Photobucket account, William and upload it to there.
Then you can just link to the image from here (Photobucket provides the codes for you, you will need the ones for here).
You have piqued my interest? MG? Jag? Austin Healey?

You're spot on Chris....1937 MG TA...It sounded and looked great, but had a nasty habit of trying to swap ends in the wet......(I'd just finished rebuilding it in the photo)...

cheese_dave said:A white Hillman Imp which was actually a Singer Chamois (it had a false grille and double headlights). KNT 247F. The choke was a lever on the floor instead of a pull rod on the dashboard, the was an 875cc engine in the boot, and a bonnet with a spare tyre underneath. My dad bought it for me for £100, I had it for 4 years and sold it for... £100. During that time I learned to drive in it, never had a lesson except off my dad, failed my first test and passed my second, the bonnet rusted so I cleaned it and painted it red, we had the engine out three times for repairs. I hated and loved that car.

Ahh the good old choke, I was talking cars with my son the other day (11). He was asking about what cars I've had and that reminded me about the Choke on it. So I then had to explain how and why to him, his reply "cool" !!! Oh dear !!
