Me trying to give computer lessons !!!!!

Lets go for one of the PH classifieds,

1. on the page you want to link to there is a line of writing near the top that starts with a little picture of a page with the corner turned over and then www.pistonheads.com............. Left click on that line and it will turn Blue.

2. Right click on the blue bit and a box appears, Left click on "Copy". Return to the post you want to add it to.

3. type [url]clicky (or any words you want, nice car here or whatever),then you need a vertical line, it's shift and the key left of z on my keyboard |

4. Press Right key and box appears again, Left click on "Paste", lots of writing will appear! at the end of the writing type [/url].

5. Preview post to see if its worked smile

[url]nice car here| http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/t... [/url

I've left the last square bracket off so you can see what you should have, add that bracket and you get this...

nice car here

Those who are a bit more proficient with computers tham me (about 99.5% of you) may well know an easier quicker better way but this works for a numpty like me and will hopefully help one or two others who are amazed by my mastering of modern technology type

No, it was just an example smile If I didn't have one I could be tempted but too much effort gone into mine to consider selling and if I had room for a third "hobby car" it would be made of fibreglass, on a steel chassis, Ford engine but it wouldn't be a TVR eek

Not exactly a lot of them around so finding one could take a while, this one is for sale but is too good (and therefore a bit more than I'd like to pay), I'd ideally like one that is in need of a little "refreshing" wink

Nice looking Turner Mike. At least you'd be staying British & fairly close to home as well...

OMG, a primrose Turner. Never seen one in that colour before. Beautiful.

Now then, how do I right & left click on my phone, & what is all this about pasting & stuff? Sorry Mike, but you lost me.confused

I had a 20min computer lesson once, it was like this:
"Dee dah dee dah dee dah, dee doo dee doo dee doo, click on this, scroll to that, press return & that's how you do it. yikes
I felt like I now knew how to play the piano.
But I couldn't.
I feel I should buy a computer, but to be honest I wouldn't have a clue which one to get, & if I did I wouldn't even know how to begin to use it. I am sure I am nor alone in this world of numptyness.

Or am I?

This is a (very tempting) Marcos ...scratchchin

Used to go and watch "Club" motor racing with my big brother when I was in my teens and there would often be a Turner or two giving the Sprites and Midgets a run for their money in the small capacity "Mod Sports" class................. happy days !

Hi All.
Had a Marcos 3.0L back in the 80's (good times were had), bright red with a Essex turbo engine on Fuel injection, was like a Moggy with mustard on its ass, still have the engine sat in the shed, been thinking what to do with it.
It was like a psychopathic skitso you never knew what it would if you hit the gas
