Then it's just a matter of finding the images you want to string together, <br /> <br />If those are on the web then you right click on them, select "Save as? and make sure you see and remember exactly where in your machine the images are being saved to. <br /> <br />Then, use your graphics application to copy all those individual images into one new image, make sure you make the background for all cars the same color and save that new composite image as a *.gif image specifying the common background color as transparent. <br /> <br />Then upload that new image to an inage hosting service, and link to it here using the image tag <br /> <br />
