Uh..... if you can see it in your gallery........ Are you saying it won't 'right click' / save image if you try?
That can be frustrating.... especially when it's your photo...
A thought..... maybe cheat...... see if you can carefully take a picture of it on the computer with your phone...... Then send THAT pic ( bluetooth?) to your computer. >>>>> Do you know how to do that?<<<<<<

but that isn't the problem. Forza won't allow it and I'm on XB1. You can't save pics to it. Therefore I can't attach them. I tried from url but Forza won't allow it. Neither would it alllow a link to work. Its their system and not the forums.

Yea.... I've seen 1/18th collecting, 2 different ways.... Mostly like hoarding! (Ha)..... But if they see something cool.... it's a hobby.
I can bet if the size of die-casts were , like 3 feet in size, they wouldn't collect as many!
On the other hand, I was involved in motor racing and I became friends with racers. So, when I saw a die-cast of a car they drove or built, ..I would buy it and bring it to them to sign. They really enjoyed it!! On one occasion I bought 2, and gave it to them. I bought the Exoto Daytona Coupe #5.
I brought it to Dan Gurney's shop. He loved the new die-cast. He signed it. I also found a couple Hot Wheels AAR 'Cuda Trans Am. I showed it to Dan and He didn't know it existed! He signed mine & the other was a gift to him. Later I got my friend Bob Bondurant to also sign the Daytona Coupe, since they both drove it.
I have a couple Exoto Grand Sports driven by my friend Dick Guldstrand, that he signed. ( He passed away in 2015).... I worked for him for a while...
Anyway, some die-casts are valuable when you have a personal attachment to them. Sometimes buyers will pay a lot, if they also feel that way.
Especially when they are signed by the driver!! I have a few signed.... But I think it is time for someone else should have them.
( My office shelves are limited)....
