Default New from Australia

Hello,
Long time reader of forums but never posted.
Great informative information on this site and has helped a few times already.
A bit about my ride -
2004 VY HSV Clubsport PWR S/C LS1 - Built 4L60E - Twin 3" Difillipo Exhaust - Comp 222/224 @ 112. and few other things.

A few pics when I first bought it, as I know words sometimes doesnt paint the picture. A few things have changed since. I will post latest pics up a bit later.

Can someone please tell me how to make the pics part of the message instead of being an attachment.

Will no doubt talk to you all later.
