Hello everyone , I am a new member as of today , a few years older then the first E types , and not great with computers , so forgive me if this is not in the correct place .

Hi Kevin,
Plenty of help around here :bigrin:
Whereabouts in the country are you locked in at?

Hi Kevin

I’m a 63 owner too (fhc). This is the best place to be for all things E-Type.

Tell us more about your car - is it your first? Restored, needing work?

Get some pics up if you can!

G’day Kevin, welcome. You’ll find this forum a wealth of knowledge for everything E Type and so many helpful members. It’s been a godsend for me over the years. I’m just a youngster - one year younger than my ‘61. Scary we'll both be 60 soon!

Cheers,
Pete

60 Scary? I've said goodbye to 70, but still enjoying life. Snorkeling, Golf, boating and E types. Went out in my first E Type the year Kevin's was made. :bigrin:

Hi , Thanks for the reception messages , I bought my car fully restored , back in 2011 , I would like to put a photograph on but unsure of how to do this , if anyone can help me get started ?

I live up in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham , the cold ,wet , North East of England , not advisable .

A bit further down the line , i will be seeking advice on an ongoing problem with the car that I am desperate to eradicate , Summer arriving soon and hopefully being allowed to cross the doorstep.

Thanks

Kevin.

Hi Kevin, to add a photo:

Click “Add image to post” at the bottom of your post.
Click on “choose images”
You can then select “photo library” to upload an image you already have or “take photo” to take a photo with your phone/tablet or whatever device you are using. Hope that’s clear enough.


Cheers,
Pete

:yeahthat: But you may also have to "RE-size" the photo, which is an option you are given. My pics wouldn't post, but then I chose "re-size to 19inch monitor" and it worked fine
