You are very welcome sir
I leave you with one more.
This is "Uncle Normie", who was actually not related to me at all, but was a very well known antique boat restorer. He did several of my grandfather's boats, as well as boats that are much more known.
I had the utmost respect for this man. His attention to detail, and absolutely unreal patience. His patience is something I could never match. His craftmanship was 2nd to none.
Oh, and to get us back on the car topic, here's a random Rolls Royce that belonged to a friend of my great grandfather.
It's been a pleasure sharing!

Going to Orillia for Thanksgiving weekend, maybe I'll see one of the boats in the Severn.

God I hate photodump. All those images are now small!!!! ARG!!!
I was lazy and didn't upload them to my personal FTP, since I had them already on photodump. That was not a smart move apparently.
Here are the last two again:

You won't see any of ours unfortunately
We sold the cottage about 4 years ago after my grandmother passed away. The family was in disagreement as to what to do with the estate (6 kids, my mom being one of them) and so it was sold. No one could afford to buy-out the others and so it was gone.
Tragic really, we'd owned the property since the 1860's. But people were greedy and saw a new house and a way to be debt free, rather than working out a way to keep something so memorable in the family. I am quite bitter about the whole event, as my father had offered up a corporation plan that would see the property making money all summer for us. But nobody was willing to see the forest for the trees and were simply looking at the short-term profit from selling the place.

No worries. All my pics are NORMALLY hosted on my FTP, but I had uploaded those ones to photodump a few years ago and was too lazy to copy them back. I guess that was a mistake

This was my first vehicle...2001 Ranger, 2.5L I4, 5-speed manual.
No less than 3 people learned to drive stick with that truck. I buried it in mud up to the doors, bounced it off the speed and RPM limiters frequently, dumped the clutch countless times, and generally beat the snot out of it. After 3 years I sold it with about 93K miles on it. It never gave me any trouble, ever. This truck sold me on Rangers. I had wanted an F-150 or C/K1500 badly, but after what I put that Ranger through, I really came to appreciate these little trucks.

Well, you just have to open the thumbnail in a new window and the image will load in full size. It's not a bad system, because people can pick from the thumbnails those images that they would like to see in full size. It's similar to the option in photobucket, which allows posting clickable thumbnails.

The issue was, I linked to the full-sized images. They showed full-sized for like 24h, and now they are showing small. Doesn't matter now anyways.

Maybe it's a browser issue?

You are correct sir! As well as the Peterborough Canoes.
And the home of what was formally (until there was recently built in Europe somewhere) the world's largest Lift-Lock

I think it's a PhotoDUMP issue
Not a big deal, just plop 'em on my FTP and I'm good to go.
