o.k. it's stock but I just wanted to see if I can make this work. never actually used the picture feature yet.

ronin · 08-14-2003, 10:40 AM

nope, didn't work. instructions anyone? where does the image need to be located to be recognized?

NYC_SpeedRacer · 08-14-2003, 10:49 AM

was wondering too cause i can only post a pic if it's on a website .....do the pics have to be hosted or is there a way to upload them onto pelican and then post?

is that it....just one person posted a pic and one other is attempting to.....come one ppl.....POST....i'm sure others would like to see ur car too....

Ronin,

I've been waiting for a chance to use that

That URL that your picture is from isn't working, when I right clicked, and copied/pasted the URL into a browser, I got some kind of Pelican Parts re-direction page.

Otherwise, yes. You have to have a website that'll host the images for you, you can't just 'host' them from your own hard drive. I don't know if Pelican has an upload feature, maybe via the gallery.

And just to keep it on topic.....

ronin · 08-14-2003, 11:03 AM

ahaaaa, so there IS a reason why http:// is in the dialog box already. well, in that case .....

NYC_SpeedRacer · 08-14-2003, 11:03 AM

nice...what kind of wheels are those?

is that complex in the background where u live?
looks rather new

ronin · 08-14-2003, 11:17 AM

WOW, someone noticed! those are the disk wheels. they were first released for the 928 and then (in '87) became available for the '44 line. it is my favorite '44 wheel. it is basically the predecessor to the turbo S wheel. it's identical other than that the holes were enlarged (in the turbo S wheel) and look like a rounded triangle. (you know what I mean)

ronin · 08-14-2003, 11:21 AM

NYC: btw, no, that's not where I live, but, yes it is new. it's a new building at the Univ oF Washington Hospital medical complex. was in a rush to take these pictures driving around and couldn't find a place. came across this place and thougt that's good enough. actually ended up looking pretty good though. y'think?

just tell everyone that doesn't know it's a hospital that u used to live there and ur a high roller...

damn u have some nice hospitals over there....nice and clean or is it only because that building is new....

nice disk wheels....definitely different from all the ones i've seen on the 944's

Yes, the Conquest is my weekend fun toy, and the 944 is actually my daily driver for now. What can I say? I like rare and unique cars

There are some good pictures of the Conquest here. If I can get wheel spin under control, it should be running low 14's in the 1/4. But much like our 944, that's not what it was designed for, it was designed more for road course.

no, I found that pic on a website. Mine just looke like any other burgundy 944n/a with phone dials. Although, I have a set of phone dials here at home that I"m going to refinish sometime when I don't get so lazy (I'm going to do the inside black and polish the "lip" so that they look similar to the fuchs).

BlueQuestTSI-that is one sexy conquest

I would still really like to have one of those as a side project hehe

yeah, but where would that get me? can't take a chick to a place that ain't mine

the hospital grounds are pretty well maintained. they have made many changes there over the last six or so years. the U.W. has one of the best medical schools in the country. suppose that's where they get all that money.

as for the wheels, they're stock but rare enough to look different. I like them.

There's mine, not really modified except for the front. Here are more pictures

Ah, but it looks sooooo much cleaner without the big rubber boat anchors on the front end. I'd like to do that to both the front and back end of mine when I paint it....

WOW, I get to return the favor!!
