Some sunny Sunday Billing pics

What, this red 71 Superbee?
Yes Dave, just these two.
Thanks for the kind words Adam & Dave, the original files came out ok (at around 500kb) but I still cant seem to get the pics looking as good on here once resized as some of you other guys.
I've left these a bit bigger to see if that helps...... still a bit too wide tho.
Not sure about the originality of this car as it's not one of my specialist subjects (what is? I hear you cry), but as Stu pointed out the '440+6' decals look to be off a 70 roadrunner and some of the stickers/decals/stripes towards the rear look a little 'custom', if you know what I mean.
Still, a good looking Mopar and a real head-turner.

Not sure about the owner tho, surely Matt H might be able to shed some light?

Will, yes I saw, and hear you (well, Rosco) there on Sunday, was about to snap you & the General but the missus made me whisk my littl'un off to the loo while we were up 'your end'. Then I forgot. Sorry! It was good to hear you & Rosco competing with the 'discotheque'!

Thanks Rob, would love to know if its a genuine Bee but there are some "modifications" there. What programme do you use to resize the pics....I can only advise on Photoshop, Irfanview is quick and handy but not a lot of control over resampling. I think it uses bicubic but I wouldnt be surprised if it didnt.

The Gimp allows for decent control over resizing

you calling me a gimp??

I've currently got 2000 Professional (should be changing to XP Pro soon - woo-hoo!) on my work laptop so I use the Microsoft Photo Editor and, in the Image toolbar at the top select Resize and either change the % value or the pixels to reduce the file size.
As far as i know I havent got any other programs to fiddle around with this stuff. Am i sounding thick enough? Bicubic...bipubic....bionic?
Yep, I got a lot to learn about this stuff.

The Gimp is a very good free photo editing program - more advanced than Irfanview, and when you use it to resize it will still look fine without any blockiness

Ohhh. So where do I find The Gimp? Apart from the one in the back of the shop?....
