Ray Hunnan asked about how to reduce the file size of photos published
on websites.

To retain the original size of the photograph but reduce the file size
you need to do the following.

Reduce the colour count to 256 or even 16.

If the photographs are black and white, the colour count can be reduced
to 2.

Next save the file as a JPEG  i.e Filename.JPG using maximum
compression.
Do not use Filename.GIF as this will create a large file size.

If all this is too 'techie' then Ray please Email me at my home address
Frank@frankw.demon.co.uk giving details of the subaru stuff URL (website
address) and the Email address of the Webmaster (person who created or
maintains the website) and I will look at it, capture the photographs,
optimize them and then Email back to the Webmaster.

Now a quick question - My 1981 Campervan (2 Litre Transporter) needs a
new gearbox mounting rubber (This is a single large block of rubber and
metal). The supplier of an original VW part says it costs about 50
pounds sterling. This seems very expensive, is there a UK source that is
cheaper?
