Just bought JPS coupe!

You are officially livin' the dream.

 

I'm jealous,
Ted

Welcome aboard, Pip!

I know most of the guys will say welcome to the madness but it's more of a sickness I think.

You have a beautiful car. Congrats on the purchase!

Congratulations. That is already a great looking car. It will be interesting to see how you re-interpret it to suit you.

thanks guys.

I'm a little worried that I may not be able to post update pics as it says I need to to install a "flash player" and when I try it tells me I can't with my iPad. Is this a common problem around here or are there other ways to access the pics on my iPad and post them here? Sorry, I'm not fully tech savvy!

I usually post a link to an offsite location (photobucket).

This website is not too friendly to tablets/phones.

You should join our Facebook page, more photo-friendly for iPads:

Hi Pip,

 

Congratulations, that car is a great running car, he drove it all the way from JPS to Austin and then now you drove it back to Temecula.

 

Join us on our drive on Saturday 25th (see event section)

Wow!  All of these greetings and nobody has given you the official "Welcome to the Madness!" until now.  Woohoo!

 

Sounds like a great road trip Pip.

True about the iPad/iPhone photo post. You can do it from a MAC though. As Terry mentioned, come over to the dark side Facebook page, posting pix are easy. You have yourself a very nice coupe. Have fun.

 

The problem with Facebook is that even just for looking, I have to register and at this point I really don't want to register with Facebook.

Why, Eddy?

All of your old high-school girfriends are there just waiting to reconnect...

LOL Terry, I have one friend on Facebook for that reason.  When it was new a client who was also an old girlfriend sent me an email to register.  I had no idea what it was so I did.  I never went on to Facebook after registering.  A few weeks or later a neighbor (women) came to my house and said to my wife are you on "Facebook?"

I was not home.  My wife said, "what is Facebook?" So this women says "let me show you, lets' look up your husband"   So after the search they find me.  Guess what? My only friend was a smoking hot blonde.  So when I got home that evening I get the "who is blank blank question?"  It was totally innocent but I had to explain myself away for something I did not even really now or do.  It spooked me pretty good so I stayed away until I saw the we had the Speedster site several years later. To this day I only mess with the Speedster Group FB.

I do plan to set up a FB page for business one day.  BTW my wife is on FB now, LOL

Pip, Nice Car!

Still friends with the neighbor, Marty?

 

I stayed away for the same reasons; didn't want to be hassled by my past and I didn't want to be some sheep playing Farmville or Bejeweled Blitz. Also, I was worried my privacy would be compromised. Then a friend showed me that I could change my settings to make me "stealth like ninja", so I registered. 

I've had to ignore several friend requests and "unfriend" a few, but it has been nice to reconnect with others and it's a great conduit for communication and photos with friends and family, especially the grandkids.

Thanks again for the welcome guys.

hmm, well no I'm not into the whole Facebook thing for reasons listed above by others and I don't see me trying to figure out a photobucket acct so I'll maybe set up a thread on the samba showing the progress. What a shame

i frequent many of the VW and porsche forums and have no problem posting pics on any of them. Oh well, I will certainly visit here often and look forward to meeting some of you.

thanks again,

pip.

No worries, Pip.

A lot of us are on Samba as well so I'll check it out over there.

I'm sure if you plan on hanging out with the SoCal guys, Jim Ignacio will be sure to snap off some pics.

One way or another, I'm looking forward to seeing your sled.

Hi Pip,

 

It might be true that it is not as easy to post your pictures on this site than some other sites but it can be done as you might have noticed of some pictures posted by Gerd on this site.

 

Did you see the events thread on going to Rudder room this 25th? You'll meet some of the So Cal people.

 

I am looking forward to see what you do on that coupe, I might want to see the mods maybe it will apply to mine.

 

Eddy

Hey Terry,

 

I am not so much afraid that my high school girlfriends find me (they already did), but I am more afraid of what Mr. Zuckerberg (not sure spelling) is going to do with my info.

 

Pip - You don't have to resort to Photobucket.  Whenever you post something or respond to a post there is a green "add attachments" plus sign on the bottom left of the post dialog box.  Click that and it will ask you to select a picture from your PC.  Easy peasy.

He's running an iPad. Since Steve Jobs threw a hissy fit over the flash(tm) platform 5 or so years ago, he can't load the flash player on his Apple device.

 

Good ole Steve Jobs, making decisions for you long after you've paid for it.

 

Ted

Laner...perhaps you can help me be able to upload pics again too.  I used to be able to do it, ( used to be a "supporting member" too ) but I'm no longer able. I select the pic I'd like to upload and it freezes consistently at 192 KB. There's no way out of it but to give up and hit the Cancel button. I asked Theron about it and got some help but no solution.

 

I'd like to be supporting member but am nervous about the re-cycling of my credit card info.

 

Any ideas....any encouragement about safety of the cc number ? Do you think I might be more successful about posting pics if I was a supporting member? I'm not that computer literate but at this point I can't even change my avatar pic which makes me think I've got an internal problem here.

 

Thanks....

I wouldn't be surprised if the membership was the issue.  I know there is a size limit for non-members, but I don't know what it is.  As for credit card safety, I don't see why this site would be any less safe than others, but we have to accept a certain level of vulnerability to make use of modern "conveniences".  Always check your monthly statements.

Welcome to the madness! Please let us know how your Californis registration goes.

Hi Rusty,

JPS is a pan based car and can be registered in CA as VW no problem. It's not like your IM tube frame construction.

I WONDER WHY CHRIS SOLD IT.

 

He's starting another 'project'!
