Re: 38 ford coupe
Is the new computer Windows 11? I have changed my desktop that was windows 8 to a new puter on Win11. I used to be able to simply plug in my camera and it automatically started the process. Now just the sound from the speaker indicating a connection and nothing.mercury mitch wrote:Torana is painted, 38 coupe. made engine mount tubes and fitted ,crush tubes for fuel tank straps and brackets ,machined the spacers for wiper shafts , pics are in my camera but cant load them to my new computer

Re: 38 ford coupe
Engineers seem to be "unusual" people.
I've sent of quite a few requests to Engineers to see if they are interested in looking at our MightyBoy and not one has responded.
I had an Engineer who was happy to do it but he retired from the NSW system.
Not sure if it was his or NSW RMS' decision?
Just seems the way of the World nowadays.

Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Zuffen.
I always thought you were an engineer.
Did I get that wrong.

Hey,
I may be a lot odd but I'll never be an Engineer.
I'm an old Insurance Salesman.
I like to think of myself as an Imagineer. If I can dream it I hopefully can build it.
No formal motor vehicle training at all.
