Default A Beautiful XK150 parked in my street opposite mine!

That's a 1950's car isn't it? - the owner said it had a race-tuned engine, he looked at mine and said yes the great grandson
i'd post a pic on here if i knew how to easily.
It was dark blue with red interior and had the Le Mans winner badge on the back ... nice.

Default it is easy

Longing for the pic of the xk150.

Happy to help you by explaining how, but I don't know where the unclarity begins. Is it difficulty connecting your camera, or is it an issue with how to post a pic on the forum?

Advice on the two methods here:

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/j...pictures-2418/

Options are either link to OnLine storage or upload to forum.

Default upload to the forum:

I prefer the upload to forum way; It's easy; When you're in the Reply to Thread box (via the New Reply button), scroll down until you see ADDITIONAL OPTIONS, In the middle of that box you see a bar called 'Manage Attachments',

Click that bar and use the first option on the screen that follows to upload your pictures (top of the screen)

It will take you to the directories of your computer, where the picture you want to upload is stored.

Or, if your camera is connected to the computer, you can navigate there aswell,

Finally, scroll all the way down, hit 'Close this Window' and you're back in the textbox where you can click '' Submit Reply "


Does this work for you?

Cool more XK150 pics

a beautiful and rare creature - in great condition, the paintwork wasn't 100% but still very good, made a lovely noise from the race tuned straight six, he said he gets about 9 m.p.g. - i told him mine was dual fuel LPG and he thought that was a good idea in the current financial climate.
It's circa £1.30 per litre for petrol over here.
L.P.G. is 73p per litre.
amazing to see these two beautiful and related cars across from each other out of sheer coincidence.

That is one cool looking car! The photo with the 150 in the foreground and your coupe in the back on the other side of the street has excellent composition. Very purposeful stance, with those black wire wheels and chrome spinners, the car looks like it's in movement, pulling away from the curb with alacrity, as they say.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Steve
