Wanted: series IIa 88

[Rosie]

If anybody is reading this thread and not the other one, I am trying to move my Rover from Gillette, Wyoming to King Ferry, NY.
Can't get any haulers to pick it up!!
If you have any ideas that were not posted on the shipping thread, let me know!
Thanks!

Pictures pictures pictures!

can't upload anymore pics. I guess there is a limit.
How do you get around the limit?

I've been using Picasa for years which I really like now. But to tell you the truth, it was difficult trying to figure out how to post pictures from it, in-line into forums like this.

Now that I've figured it out however, it's great!

Any way, choose what ever image hosting site you like and upload your images there. There are a bunch of free ones so just google it. Once you've done that, you click on the add image link in the post message editor () and put the URL of the image you want to add in there. The image URL has to end with ".jpg", ".gif", ".png" or whatever other image types there are for it to display correctly. Hopefully whatever image hosting site you use will have clear instructions on how to get the image URL. Usually you can just right click on the image and look at the properties to get the image URL but this wasn't the case for Picasa and was the source of my previous frustrations.

Hope that helps!

Rosie, congrats on the purchase and looks like a real find.

What company did you use for the shipping?

The uploading thing is sounding too complicated.
Wonder why I can't just delete the ones on the forum?
Maybe I should talk to a RN forum person.
The shipper was New Era Freight out of Oregon. They bid on my job through uship and it was the right price. They also had excellent ratings.
Everything went super smooth. Truckers they used were perfect! Got the truck from Wyoming to NY in 2 days!! He flew!
We gave him dinner and off he went into the blue!
My truck is cool!!!

Seeing as she is having a bit of trouble posting pix, here are a few shots Rosie sent me earlier of her new Land Rover arriving home.

Thanks Brett!

Ah, a Rover in its other natural habitat. Nice. Post more when you get teh opportunity.

I just drove 1000 miles round trip (not in my rover) on vacation and I saw nothing even remotely as interesting on the road as a flatbed trailer with a bit of cargo and a Series Rover on the very end .

Congrats again, Rosie. As for posting more photos, I think you can go to your old posts where you included photos, click "edit" and delete old, unnecessary photos through "manage attachments"

Thanks Mark!!
I was worried about the spare tire hanging off the back door like that while in route across the country, but it seems ok. I am taking off the spare from the back door, even though there is a very thick metal plate, it sure does make opening the door awkward.
My husband is so impressed with the Rover! He is amazed that I got what I thought I was getting! He is skeptical of buying without driving...
but the seller was honest and it all worked out!
I'll try to delete those old pics.
