Pics?

I took a few pictures with my cell phone. If I can ever figure out how to get them off the phone and on to the computer, I'll post a few!

By the way Bruce, Brian's buggy has a 2800CC Porsche Engine in it!

Makes me feel good knowing I am not the only one that is phone picture stupid.

What brand of phone I am sure someone here can walk you though it.

If its a Apple product your forced to use the Itunes app and your computer to get to the pics, been their done this.

And here I thought I was the only one who was phone picture stupid. Glad to know I'm in good company!

I'll have the daughter (phone Guru) try to transfer them for me. I hate cell phones and have never had one until the wife and daughter made me get one when I went down to Glamis with Nickrnr for new years.

you don't have to use Itunes to get pic from iphone,you just email the pics from your iphone to your email.Open your email on your computer and save them from your email.

Rand he told me his was a little smaller than mine 2280 porse/ vw....he drove them both and said they're the same, his is better tuned but mine is a little stronger,,,,he also said it would take me about 2 years to drive like he does, i'm thinking 5....and a six pack... .07 .... i have the same problem with pix's,,, now i'm working for the next 2-3 weeks sucks big time,,,

Couldnt you just use the blue tooth funtion to get the pics or is that something you cant do with apple phones?

OK here ya go. Shitty camera phone pics, better than nothing I guess! Not much but the wife didn't remember the camera until we were 50 miles out from home!

If I would have had 1/2 a brain I would have taken a picture of the big dune competition hill! DOH! I take it for granted, it's only around 70 miles from the house.

I promise the next trip I will take pictures with a good camera of the whole area, big dune included!

Rand

i was real happy to find out about all the trails on the back side,,,we took one about 7 mi, i guess they go all the way to utah, plus there sand trails mostly
