Yes, users who haven't changed their theme will only see the cropped images, though I think that one of the admin staff on this forum can change the setting as the Dolomite Club forum allows images to display in full regardless of which theme is chosen and uses exactly the same software.
I notice that we are allowed to upload attachments to posts here and images loaded as attachments might (I haven't tried so don't know either way) display at their full size.
Hmm, can we upload sound files I wonder? Some Stag V8 music would be good.
I love the Daimler. It takes some presence to upstage a well turned out Stag but that gorgeous machine manages to do that very thing.

Yes I do like those Dolly's. I took my first test in one in Derby whilst on summer leave from the RN, one of those crash course ( 
) 9 lessons & a test jobby in three weeks. I failed, but loved the Dolly 
I continued my lessons once back at HMS Osprey in Portland. More BSM lessons in a Mini lead to a pass 2nd time. Then 3 years at sea to save some dosh. On leaving my first ship, I narrowed my choice down to a cracking 'T' (79) Dolly 1300HL against a MK1 Cav' 1.6GL Winner was:
It was a cracker for the Derby to Pompey run each weekend, until my youthful driving prowess blew the head, erm, it cracked! An Opel lump replaced it, but sadly it went up in flames about a year later
