Sounds great.

So how do I view the picture that ends in a .bin ? I tried changing the 
suffix, but it still has file errors in Infranview.

Arrived on Thurs early afternoon, registered and after finding a spot for the trailer, off-loaded car and took the car thru tech.  They checked safety stuff; fuel cell, dual springs on carb linkage, metal battery hold down and positive terminal covered (even though within a battery box on pass. floor), helmet, belts, emergency power cut-off switch.

Normally I am classed in Group 3 but this time it was Grp 8 along with a MGB-GT V8 and a 914-6, for example. Grp 6 is typically Trans-Am type of cars. Issues included  a bad battery  - another story - and minor and major oil leaks. The major oil leak was due to blow-by - I suspect ring(s) pooching out (tech term!) a valve cover gasket. I am getting on a first-name basis with the wrecker drivers... LOL!

Wrecker driver was good to get that thing far enough in the trailer that we could man-handle it on in. A friend's Volvo disintegrated a header tube about 4 in. out from the head, a goodly number of cars didn't stay, many due to mechanical and a few due to crashes.
