You can easily post pictures without uploading them here...

 

Open a free Flickr account and just use the share (bb code) links to have them show up here, like this...

 

Many forums don't have picture hosting and yo're forced to use one like Flickr anyway...

That seems like a lot of work to me and I am technologically challenged LOL

 

What's wrong with upgrading the software of this forum in order to make it functional? In the last few years it's kind of 50/50 with access, sometimes it loads sometimes I can not access it for days, anyway I guess it's making it easier to walk away from it when the decision is already made for you.

Antiquated user.

 

That’s right, if the site doesn’t load on various platforms and browsers, I am an antiguated user.

Well, I don't have that issue to be honest.

 

But as far as the picture deal goes...most boards I use - that's the way I do it. It's really simple, even for the technologically challenged, as you put it. I have pretty much only done it that way on all the boards I frequent.

 

10 years ago, that was the only way to do it on most boards...now many boards have a picture upload capability, but this board has very few frequent users/ visitors...and probably generates little to no ad revenue, so it's probably the reason they have not updated to the more current version of software IMO.

 

It used to work I believe...but when I upload a picture file...nothing happens at all...and it doesn't show up anywhere on the page.

Talking about photos, this is me driving my Performante with my wife as passenger at last Friday's night track event by Edge Addicts at the Circuit of the Americas!

Damn that's HOT!!!

 

How do you like it so far?

 

I only had a chance of doing a half run last week, we had to turn around and escort a buddy back to safety his 812 decided to let go of a rear wheel :shock: :eusa_wall: we were in the middle of the bush, very lucky that he didn't end up losing it in a ravine or even worse, wrapped around a tree, very scary!

I love the car! More importantly, I like it more the more I drive it! There are some "gotchas" you have to watch out for... The OEM brake pads are not good for track use. And if you do go on track with them, you have to change them out at 50% pad wear because they wear exponentially once you get down to 50%. Learned that lesson the hard way. I now use Pagid RSC1 pads that work well but the RSC3 may be better for pad wear... The car is thoroughly engaging and visceral to drive. Corsa mode handling is top notch with crisp turn-ins and negligible understeer. On track, you can feel the ALA working in corners! Street driving is a joy with the naturally aspirated V10 being the crowning glory of this car! shifts in Corsa are addictive! The speedo is a little optimistic with its reads - sometimes it is off by 10 mph at 175 mph! I have more photos from last Friday's events I may post once I get them!

 

Sorry about your buddy's 812. That sounds like someone did not tighten the lugs. I have owned Ferraris and while their paint quality is not the best, mechanical quality is quite good now. Hope you get to go out for a proper run soon and enjoy your perf! post photos or links to photos...

Wow, there's actually an active post on fchat about someone losing the rear wheel on the 488 during track day last month. Scary stuff.

Great feedback thank you.

 

There is definitely an issue with the wheels coming off, there was at least another case reported.

 

I will attempt to post some photos, maybe I can reduce their quality and post directly.

That will look spectacular I can’t wait to see it!

 

On a separate note.

One thing I didn’t know which I wish I knew because it’s frustrating me, you can’t use navigation nor Apple CarPlay while in Corsa mode and since I drive in Corsa 99% of the time it’s very frustrating.
