Just posting to say hey as I'm new on this forum. Was recommended east coast mini club by Deano as he reckons it's the best for the area I live.
A quick bit about me; My names Jamie, or Jay, I'm 23, live on the Essex, East Hertfordshire, Middlesex and North London borders, I drive a 54 plate Hyper Blue Cooper S with white roof, white bonnet stripes, white mirror caps and white 17" alloys, with a very respectable spec in the interior. I've owned the car since October 2009, and it has taken me 2 years to be able to own a new Mini, so I still love driving it on a daily basis!
I currently work as a trainee vehicle wrapper, and work for the same company that wrapped a new Mini in chrome... to which the owner went to the papers about as no one would insure a chrome car... oops!
Other than that, I'm a training vehicle mechanic, and occasionally help my cousin restore his 1985 Austin Mini 1000.
We both love Mini's and as such go to MITP every year.

Hope everyones well =oD

Welcome to the club!

Welcome to the club Jay

welcome aboard jamie

here in darkest chadwell heath you see many pepper white and black minis but rarely a hyper blue so i get a lot of admiring glances

hello and welcome to ecmc!

Well, thanks for all the welcomes! But I do have one question... how do you get a picture on to your signature, and avatar?

Cheers Jay.

If you go to 'my controls' at the top of the forum page when you are logged in, its down on the left hand side on the page it takes you too

Cheers mate, one problem, when I go to insert a pic, it's asking for a url...and the pic is just a jpeg off my desktop! Any ideas as I have no clue lol

You should be able to upload a pic? If not, email it to me and I'll do it for you

nicci@eastcoastminiclub.co.uk

I have a profile pic, but for my avatar and signature, when you insert a pic it asks for a url and just starts with http:// but no where can I see an upload or select file button?! Am I just being an idiot here? lol

Maybe you have to have a certain amount of posts...I can't remember...

But under the URL box there should be an option to upload from you PC?

All I'm getting is this... when I want to insert a pic as my signature

The address refers to an uploaded photo/sig into photobucket.

More info on creating a photobucket account and uploading pic's etc can be found Here! Clicky!

Hope this helps

Woo, sorted it, cheers guys! It's a little bigger than I thought but least I can find my posts now lol

Jay

Jay,
Sorry mate its too big and will have to be resized. Forum terms state signatures should not exceed 500 x 100 pixels
Yours is waaay bigger.

quick Jay change its size, the signature/avatar natzi is onto you

Don't worry, I will be changing the size, and by the end of tonight it will be small

Don't punish me yet lol

Jay

It looks so small now...think I may have to do a re-design!

jay

dont worry .. streeters and myself got told off a few weeks ago about the same thing
