Im Marko and did call myself Wife's Beast but something wierd was happening?

I just want to say hi to everyone and I hope I am welcome on your site.

I have never owned an Astra till now and my wife and I love it. I have plans and have started to carry them out. I don't yet know how to upload a picture so if anyone can help out there it would be great. I think file is too large and I don't know how to change it!!!

if u have windows xp, it generally goes something like this to resize:

-open my documents and bring up the picture in the folder (u are not looking at the actually picture, but the step b4 when u can preview them...)

-right click on the desired picture

-There should be an option to "resize"

-From there, select the medium option (or the 800x600 pixels option; as it is the largest most sites will allow u to load)

-Click ok and it should be resized and auto-saved as a separate picture (something like astra(medium).jpg

-from there click on "album' (on this site)

-click "upload pic"

-click "browse" (so it searches all the files on ur computer)

-click the desired pic (i.e. astra(medium).jpg)

-and hey presto! 8) 8)

neway, that's how it worked on mine......

Its a Black AH Manual CD with the option pack that includes rear power windows and cruise control. I have fitted a set of Mak S5 17x7 wheels and lowered it by Pedders and just had tinted windown fitted. Some stage this month it will have a dual exhaust and the matt silver door handles and mirror covers.

I hope to find an Opel grille, headlight eyebrows and aftermarket driving lights in the next few weeks

I have seen the really sick Blue, gold one & a silver.

It had to be Black. Never owned a black car before but we didnt like any of the other colors except the silver but EVERYONE gets a silver car!

Can anyone tell me how to upload my pic on the left of this screen like others?

Hope someone understands what I mean!

Namus
2nd February 2005, 04:41 PM
yeah very true about the silver......it's to the point now where i'd probably mistake ur car for a commodore....

neway, where exactly is Narre Warren?

OPCVXR
2nd February 2005, 04:41 PM
oh yes.

When I mentioned Sick Blue I meant I hate it!

OPCVXR

Narre Warren is in Melbourne. On the way to Phillip Island. Next door to Dandenong and Cranbourne

Hope that helps.

What about you?

Are you implying my car looks like a commodore!?!

The front does have a similar look but thats about it!

I have been told it looks like the new Torana. I wish! With a twin Turbo V6 it would hammer. I don't think the Wife would like to drive it!

Too True. Everyone is entitle to their opinion, but once the bodykits to the new model start flowing, i think alot of heads will turn.
