nice start to your site - I'd suggest getting hold of a jpg optimiser to make the pages load a bit quicker - not everyone has broadband and large image files take forever to download meaning people lose interest. A decent optimiser will trim the file sizes down drastically with no visible loss of quality - I just tried one of your and it shrunk from 260k to 70k effortlessly

try this site

their optimiser is the pick of the bunch (IMHO)

Thanks Andy
I have downloaded the optimizer and used it (right I think) could you check to see if the jpegs are any quicker
Thanks again
John

yes they seem much quicker.

when you use the optimiser, reduce the size of the file until you start to see artefacts appearing or colours breaking up then back off a little bit

Great piece of software isn't it?

Love the old W123 coupes, I tend to think they had much nicer lines than both the W124 replacement and the W114/5 they replaced.

P.S. Do you know you have a saloon rear bumper?

Cheers
