Tomo3090 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Jan, at the risk of having howls of derision haunt me for eternity.... "What could possibly go wrong now? It's at the dealers being serviced, PDI'd and a tracker added, surely it won't be late! It should have been here last week but Autotrail couldn't get the transport company to pick it up from the factory, (well that's what they said!) But we have now actually seen it and been in it and promised it will be ready by then. I'll try to add a picture, but I ain't done that before so bear with me please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo3090 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Sorry, obviously the "mods" don't want me making you all jealous! It keeps telling me there's a "server error" and won't let me post a picure. But it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROON Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi Tomo, Just to welcome your new arrival. Hope you have years of happiness in it. Re the server error, I kept getting that because my picture was too big, so open up the control panel and shrink the page, go to this link on the Google page. http://www.ivertech.com/freeOnlineImageResizer/freeOnlineImageResizer.aspx then click on browse. open your photo files programme also and click on the one you want and the above will pick it up .... reduce it to 50% button. Submit. Wait. View edited picture. Yes. Save as (avatar no.1 for example) it will come on your photo site. Highlight it on that. Go back to the page on this site Control panel and click on the browse button and the photo should come up. (at the bottom of the page where it says something about URL download.) If it works the picture comes up in the little box. H O W E V E R....... I am the biggest computer dumbo in the world and I take about two hours to do anything with pictures but you probably will take about five minutes....

Hymer C 9. Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Tomo just wondering if you are taking bikes with you when you go to Scotland, if so will pass on some lovely rides. Carol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo3090 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 At the moment Carol we only have one bike! Ann can fall off a flat pavement and seeing as she had a cycling near death experience in France last year, I am keeping her away from 2 wheels! If it wasn't for the excellent reactions of a French woman driver I would be "Billy Nomates" "Romavan" now instead of a new Cheyenne! We have looked for a trike for her but hey are sooo expensive. Whoever thought a third wheel would cost so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo3090 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks ROON, just to show off I did it twice! Lovely van ain't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROON Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 It really IS beautiful and you arn't too far from me either, so I will look out for you on the roads and give you a wave. If you need support by the way, the motorhome place at Culcheth (on the main road and just past Bents Garden Centre going away from the East Lancs) have been really helpful with me, in case you need anything.

I skidded off mine in Moffet and looked as if I had gone a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson *-) and again in Johns Bay again in Scotland but that wasnt my fault my Chi tried to jump out of the front basket and I pulled on my brakes STRAIGHT OVER THE TOP 8o| but this time I had my helmet on!! Oh did I tell you that my OH refuses to take our bikes on our trip to Europe I Wonder Why!!! Oh by the way I think your van looks great :-D happy Motorhoming.
