You do realize that photobucket says there is no content in your Mille Miglia photo album,

$:-\$

Paul Jaray · May 25, 2009, 06:07:14 PM

How can I fix it?

I have no idea. That is a photobucket issue and I don't use their service.

I raided your Bugatti album though and posted some of the pics in your thread.

I copied the link again...let's hope it works now...

It works now.

You can inline your photos and not have to attach them, much faster!!!!

Just quote this post to learn how to do it.

When doing your photos inline from photobucket or any other source you can put as many photos as you like in one post. See the Bugatti thread or the Cars and Coffee threads for examples.

Nice pics. Looks like a lot of fun. Unfortunately I was in the wrong continent at the time.

Wow! Much better...thank you!

Nice pics Paul!

Thanks...That's him...He was driving the 300SLR...
Unfortunately I had 2 cameras with me, mine and my wife's one. The 2nd was not set as I expected and some pictures are not well focused...

Methinks the answer is yes.

If I took my MGB-GT to that event, I would feel like a pork chop at a Jewish wedding.

Great photos!

I would like to hear more about your adventure in your own words.

Thank you.

I always take my old camera with me and as usual my pictures are slightly out of focus or with unnatural colors, but I don't care much about that...the real thrill is to be in the middle of that, smelling the exshaust gases and earing the cry of an unrestricted engine...I can't put all that in a picture!

MG · December 03, 2009, 10:40:02 AM

Soon to be a major motion picture!

OK, a small article at Examiner.com then.

I have always had a fascination about the Mille Miglia. Hope I can do it justice.

Stay tuned........

How on earth do you know all those cars' names and dates of manufacture? I'm assuming there is a list provided by the organizers. No one could keep all that information in his head! Could he?

Look at how many puzzles Paul has solved. He has more car info in his head than most libraries could ever hope to hold.

Paul Jaray · December 06, 2009, 06:23:49 PM

There is an official list and each year I take it with me to avoid to take pictures of the same cars of the previous year, but each time I think "what the hell ,I like this!" and each year I take pictures of all the cars!

I have a little secret: I have an huge index of each manufacturer, tuner, designer, one-off builder and each car made year by year by each one of them.
In my list I have names, cylinders, power, top speed, year, etc etc... and all this in an excel file: if I need to find out the name of an American car, active in 1919, with only 2 6-cyl models, starting with 'S', I'll find out just looking there, using filters and sorting the index.
