I might just have the bug back......

[BaileyMex]

Well after 17 years of owning my Mex, from restoring it, tweaking it and traveling thousands of miles to shows and events to now, where it hasn't come out of secure storage for nearly 3 years, I might just have found that itch that needs scratching.....

So, over the next month or so, and when I can find time to get up to there, I'll once again be having a tinker.

Thankfully no huge jobs, just small ones that'll get me that buzz back of hearing open weber's barking and coming home deaf and stinking of petrol 😈

Can you lovely bunch give me some extra motivation by flooding this post with pics of your cars? CHEERS!!

Depending on the phone you should still be able to retrieve the photos

I'd dearly love to know how to get them off.

Background is........

I dropped the phone, it went blank, and now when I plug it in , and try to turn it on, the charge symbol lights up but it won't go any further, won't start up its android screen.

That's all it does. Phone is a Nexus 5 LG

I've got my whole car build on it plus about 1200 other pictures.

And yes I didn't back it up.🙄

Not knowing the phone well u have a few options....

 

Firstly sorry baileymex for filling up Ur thread🙈😂

Basically the phone is a small computer.

 

If the back comes off, check for a memory card in it, if so bingo they're all on that, if not....

If u have a laptop/ pc, plug it in, leave it about 5 mins and see if anythin pops up on the computer screen i.e. suggest what to do with this device,  failing that click into the files folder where it shows every file / drives etc and all being well it will show removable device/ phone, double click an u can access the phone memory that way. ( Might take a bit of looking around in different files)

 

If that won't work, if u can't remove the battery an refit it, then be brave, and take the phone apart,  likelyhood is when u dropped it the battery has dislodged or a ribbon cable has dislodged poke around and wriggle connections lightly, try the above pc connection again and u SHUD b able to gain access to it 🤞🤞

Basically as said it's a little computer 

So plug it in via a USB to a PC and you should be able to find it, it's just like a little hard drive.

Your car was the the round ones when you put it back on the road, the fact they painted the strip on and the fit and finish was top quality

Cheers mate.

I sometimes forget how much blood sweat and tears went into it, can't wait to get it back on the road for a bit of summertime hooning around 

The stripe really pops in the sunlight 😁😁
