it was called a SAMBA!

I wonder why the image pops up in the post and not as a link ..... (then at least you have the CHOICE as to whether you
want to look at it or not... 🙂...)

Photos need to be smaller than 50kb. Otherwise they take too much bandwidth.

See the post at the top of this section.

I did resize with photoshop - got it down to about 120 KB....any smaller and it didn't seem legible or readable...

I'll email you the jpeg and you may be able to do better than I could!

Thanks

Rob, if you mail it to me (I'd love to see it) I will put it on my web site and post a link for others to see.
I have lots of web space and bandwith to use up 😀

Can't seem to reduce it much further without degradation in the quality 🙁 How about this as an option, since it's a splitty how about split files?

You have increased my appreciation for these rides like three fold. I will never walk past them so fast at a show again.

Thanks Fatboy and KOM123 for posting the article up for us to read.

I might start checking out the local paper here to see if they do much the same.

Has a unique ring to it eh!

Samba; SaMbA; SAM ba; S amba; Sam-ba.

I might teach my boys to call all Kombis Samba, and then get then to teach their boys the Samba tag and then get them to do show and tell to all their school mates, start a samba religion and Ozzie Samba Club with Sambas posted on the walls and just tour Australia giving Samba info nights to young parents.

Finally - I have a mission in life!
