Only comment I've got is that it'd be cool if you made it a clickable link, so people could just click on it to see it instead of doing the select-copy-paste dance :)

thank you very much guys feedback so far it is positive . The links to the movies should allow you to view them by simply clicking on them. they are AVI format so they should auto crack open in wndows media player or in your browser itself if the plugin is avialable. I havent tested it with diffrent versions of windows and explorer yet as Windows xp is common these days and it seems to do all that is needed.

thanks again for the feedback :)

if you have the movie hosted already somewhere on the net just send me the link and ill add it otherwise let me know when your ready,

sorry about the shit smoke and squelly tyres from my coupe i had to use old tyres for that particular shoot. I did have a video when i sat it on the spot in second gear at 6000rpm with near fresh 245/50/16's on it until i dug ruts into the bitumen and tore the tyres apart but the it got lost in a computer crash b4 i could back it up and havent made a new one as yet. that was my favoirite shoot it smoked in seconds just huge plumes of white.

That place we filmed em in was good cause it was big but i actulally practice to do the nuts in the smallest space possible, sometimes only a meter wider then the cars lenght, havent hit anything yet.

Funky_Falcon your video is worthy and has been added and will remain online until you remove it, i have linked it to the existing server.

I don't mean to sound picky, but converting those pictures for the site that are in BMP format to something like JPEG or GIF format would make them heaps smaller, and the pages would load quicker for us poor saps still using dial up internet.

TyreToaster · 12-15-2003, 22:23

im on dialup (one of the better companies and its all pretty quick) but u are right and beilive it or not im in the middle of doing that right now
