How do you get the pictures that big? Do you use something like photobucket rather than attaching (uploading) a photo to the post?

If you right-click on the image, (with most browsers) the URL of the Pic is shown. Frog's Pic is:

Great shot. How did you keep the car so clean and dust-free while visiting a desert?

Yes, to post big pictures, you need to host them somewhere else and then post the link here.

Default Answer to Frog, how to keep clean on a trip

Thank you Frog. Every morning on the road, while my wife is catching a few extra z's and enjoying the coffee I brought to her, I find a nearby car wash and that carries the cat through the day. If I don't go longer than 24 hrs, the bugs and grime come off easy. BTW, I put two good coats of wax on before the trip and that helps a lot.

XKRacer - outstanding shot! I always wonder why no Euro-based member ever take a shot of their cars with the actual Jaguar plane - but now we have 1!
