Capt: when posting pics, use the "Insert Image" feature (the little square picture frame thing) and the pics will appear in the post (rather than the html links)

The bolts are still sitting by the front door waiting your arrival...but i've shifted the Koni shocks out of the way as the missus was having problems vacuuming around them....
