Hi y'all

A bit of weekend reading for those with time on their hands from Australian Modern Motor Magazine.

Enjoy!

I'm only seeing one page. The rest are just "file traffic over" images. :(

You should use photobucket.com or tinypic.com :wink:

Photobucket was resizing my images to small to read the text. So I searched around to find a better host and this one seemed to come out fine on my computer

unfortunatly it seems that every free imagehosting place has it's price, perhaps someone could host this as I can turn it into a pdf or perhaps we could put it up on the web page with the other tests.. Do i need to send it through to ICE?

or if you want I can email it through to you,it's about 1.7 meg all up

If you want, I've got unlimited bandwidth on my hosting and 100Mb storage (of which I have about 30Mb left). I've got everything but the first page already loaded up (as you can see below). If you want to e-mail me the first, I can add it and anyone who wants to leech from there is fine by me....

E-mail = darrin(dot)moore(at)gmail(dot)com
[edit]Got the first page, and it's all loaded up.....

It's funny that it says "the tercel is the first in what will undoubtably be a long line of challengers." Too bad that wasn't the case. :( I guess the small SUV took it's place in the lineup.
