**THE MARINA STRIKES BACK this weeks Classic Car weekly **

[The original northen boy]

*** WELL DONE LADS! ***
A strike back for all us "MORRIS MEN" if anyone hasn't seen the article yet in this weeks Classic Car Weekly about the infamous Top gear episodes featuring the destruction of two Marina cars and the subicant threats aimed at Marina owners.

Frank (uncle frank) Sean (ado 28) and Mike (marinanut) all tell the story from our side,so until the complete write up appears on here i suggest for those people who can't wait to read the story in it's entirety i recommend the £2.20 investment in this weeks CCW.

What Top Gear have shown (and made stronger) is the fantastic bond between Marina and classic car enthusiast's.

Keep the flag flying.

Headline on front page -

"MORRIS OWNERS VICTIMISED!
Following Top Gear's ridicule of Morris Marina owners clubs, some members have complained to the BBC after receiving abusive and threatening calls from fans of the programme. p3"

Thought you chaps on here may want to have a look if you can't get a copy!

Re

The picture cropping thing, I am assuming Ben set it up, it controls the size in pixels of the pictures. If you remember before, sometimes the pics were twice as wide as the screen.

If you adjust the size of your pictures to be no more than about 1024 pixels across before posting then they can be seen in one go.

Don't act the prat. The old site never used to crop pictures, why change it? its a royal pain when viewing readers projects pictures as well... Maybe we should start a "Bring back the old forum" poll like on facebook..

Well then, you are very luck you can see it all in one go! I have notice that pictures are also cropped!
I have tried hard to get the article up in one go even by resizing it with no luck! :roll:

the new forum is great at searching for older posts but not sure about pictures.
