I give up. Embarassed


Don't post the web address to the picture. Instead, post the URL address (listed in the properties menu). Also, don't double click the Img button at the end.
#1, click "Img"
#2, post the URL address
#3, click "Img" again

Just for reference, the URL address for the pic of your car is- https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/97908.jpg

I think the original color of my '55 European bug was L370 Nile Beige. That color doesn't look quite right though. Sorry don't have any pics.

My 55 Vert in Dolomite L279
Has anyone seen a whole car in this color? If so, I would love to see pictures.
It was a "vert only" color for 54 and early 55.

My first oval was just like that - but not as high scoring in the originality department.

My latest oval - L41 which scores 0 in the originality stakes, due to 2165cc, Pedrinis, and IRS.........

Nice pics everyone!!

I never bother with the stupid "Img" button -- I just paste the link, and add the [img] and [/img] tags around it manually. It's foolproof, or nearly so. Wink
