New member from Washington State. Photosof my car.
« on: June 27, 2017, 19:07:34 »
I am a new member since March 2017 after lurking here for a few months. I just took some photos of me car ('71 280SL) yesterday so thought I would try posting a couple. However after dragging them to the attach boxes I don't see a box to actually attach them. I have tried the shift+alt+p to review and nothing happens. I am a member of several forums and never have had this issue. What is the trick?

ViperBob, Welcome to the forum.

Adding attachments is fairly straight forward.  Click on "Attachments and other options" below the text box, then click on "Browse" below the "Attach" heading. Find the file on your system that you want to attach and click on it.  There is a limit of four attachments and there are file size restrictions.  To preview, click on the "Preview" button at the lower right.  The preview screen appears above the screen you are typing in so you must scroll up to see it.  The preview screen includes your text but will not show your attachments.  Experiment a bit!

Your car looks great, we would love to hear about it and see more pictures.

Again, welcome! :)

Congratulations! Your SL looks great! You're close to another red 280sl owned by a Mercedes Enthusiast/Entrepreneur named Kent Bergsma at mercedessource.com. When I saw your photos, I thought he might have sold his 280 named "Happier". But your has a tan interior. Washington State has some excellent touring roads. Enjoy!

Welcome to the group.   Car looks great.   Camano Island is a pretty special place.   We did a tour on the Chuckanut Drive several years back with the car club and ended up in Madrona Beach with a few other club members after getting bored in La Conner.

Beautiful car.  My '66 Euro is the same color combination, but not quite as crisp as yours.
