so let´s see if it works:

I knew it from the start. Maybe someone can tell me how to insert a picture correctly?)

You can attach images using the "Additional Options" area under the posting box. You can also inline images hosted elsewhere in jpg and gif formats using the [img] function. It is hotlinked as a landscape photo icon above the posting box.

If I can be of further assistance in helping you post images, please ask.

It can be tricky with php webpages, you need to find a direct link to the image. With Firefox you can right click and select "copy image location", and then use that to insert it:

<image snipped since it's in the first post now>

The code I used:

Code: [Select]

Hope this helps,

It MIGHT help, S&M, if someone could READ the damn thing!

Here's how to hotlink to a photo on another server:

Paste the url of the picture here

If you want to put some text in for people to click on to open a link, do this:

Type your desired link text here, then

Not to worry. They practically had to hit me over the head with a Louisville Slugger to get me to do it right. Man, I am NEVER going back to Louisville!

One sad effect of the code tag is that it shrinks the text. It's useful for markup tutorials, though, because otherwise the board software will try to parse your un-renderable example images and links, as you can see in your post above

. In other words...

Code: [Select]


Here's how to hotlink to a photo on another server:

[url=http://Paste the url of the picture here ] Paste the url of the picture here  [/url]

If you want to put some text in for people to click on to open a link, do this:

[url=http://paste the url of the picture here, then a close bracket]Type your desired link text here, then[/url]

...is arguably more illuminating, I dare say.

Imagine how humiliated I am at this humiliation!

As for the car at hand.... the image looks like it came from a sales brochure, so I'm going to assume this one actually made it to at least limited production. And with the exception of the somewhat bug-eyed headlamps, it looks rather nice. So I guess:

Early 60's Italian Etceterini based on Alfa mechanicals?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #7 on:** March 05, 2007, 04:00:10 PM »

Thank you all!

As you can see I did it eventually...

It is indeed some kind of "Italian Etceterini", but not based on Alfa Romeo and it was built from 1964 -1966.

OSI 1200?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #9 on:** March 06, 2007, 02:21:04 AM »

OSI did the bodywork - but it was never labelled OSI.

So if you can name the donor car of the mechanical components and chassis, you may find its real name...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #10 on:** March 06, 2007, 04:22:03 AM »

I didn't know you needed the donor car to decalre tis puzzle solved.

Per the CarsFromItaly.com site:

OSI 1200

Using the Fiat 1100 chassis and mechanicals as a basis, OSI constructed two very pretty derivatives, a coupé and a spider. They were produced in some numbers.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #11 on:** March 06, 2007, 06:58:33 AM »

You are 75% right. But this particular car is different.

It was not called Fiat, and it was not called OSI, I´m sorry.

Fiat components were used, but it wasn´t a Fiat.

Fiat had a "relative" in a country north of italy....

NSU Neckar St Tropez 1200 S (see "Neckar" on the pillar in the background)

<<< link removed >>>

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #14 on:** March 06, 2007, 04:34:30 PM »

Ok then....

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** March 13, 2007, 11:03:51 AM »

Perfectly done!

porridgehead · « **Reply #16 on:** March 13, 2007, 12:48:10 PM »

Who? Wha? Neckar on the pillar? Am I blind or just stoopit?

Wait, don't answer that. I'm going to stare at the thing a bit longer.

I still don't seen any Neckar anywhere.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2007, 04:57:15 AM »

The building pillar in the link in erbas' reply.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #18 on:** March 15, 2007, 01:35:14 PM »

so Erbas definitely did it

Allemano · « **Reply #19 on:** December 04, 2008, 08:39:26 AM »

Make and model please!

Djetset · « **Reply #20 on:** December 11, 2008, 07:38:57 PM »

Is it the OSI St Tropez?

Allemano · « **Reply #21 on:** December 12, 2008, 10:19:09 AM »

It is, but that's not the complete name!

Djetset · « **Reply #22 on:** December 20, 2008, 01:27:28 PM »

OK. Is the fuller name therefore OSI Neckar St Tropez 1200 S Spider? (wow, that's a long name!)

Allemano · « **Reply #23 on:** December 20, 2008, 01:32:51 PM »

It's not the St. Tropez, that's a different car.

Djetset · « **Reply #24 on:** December 20, 2008, 01:55:09 PM »

So it's not the Neckar 1200 'OSI' , as the 1200 S St Trop was also known?
