As I've said twice, there's nothing wrong with your picture.
They are probably using Internet Explorer, which is kind of antiquated.

You guys should try Google Chrome. It's faster, safer and pictures should display correctly.

To me this happens in Chrome as well as IE...
It could have something to do with the DOCTYPE declaration. It seems that this forum is still using XHTML Transitional. When opening the picture in a new tab, it looks correct. It also works when using Tapatalk.

Odd...
I've tried it in IE, Chrome and Safari (iOS and Mac) tonight, out of curiosity, and all look normal.
I think using a third party host like photobucket may work best.

Ok it's not Pagani opulent but the 2001S is down right spartan by comparison. The graffite paint, carbon fiber, titanium trim mix just seemed excessive for the sake of excessive. Seems to have lost its 550 soul. So I'm happy with the older car and a bit of the little bastard image.
