Just found and added these links to the redesign site:
http://www.iribbit.net/i/924org/nai_multimedia.cfm

Notable quote from 00:39 seconds into Part 2, "...the 924 is the star of the show..."

But can't locate Part 3 of 4.

That'd be great - I'd prefer to have the downloads for the site rather than referencing something external that might change.

Thanks

Hey, take your time, its no rush. The Wheeler Dealer files are a bonus - thanks a bunch.

Congrats on the newborn - I've been there twice myself so I understand the impact - so take your time - and thanks again.

Congratulations Gav.

That explains why you haven`t been on here much lately.

Best wishes to you all.

Congratulations on the new car. Is it a turbo?

Thanks guys!

Yup spot on Roger - also is why my poor toofah still has half the front hanging off - have I mentioned I hate the GT-Racing light setup? It's a real POS

Found the Wheeler Dealer vid - it's currently a 450MB MPEG file... prolly a bit much to upload anywhere so will have a play at converting it into something a little more friendly.


Cheers,

There are services that allow this sort of ripping from Youtube... however they seem to get shutdown pretty quickly...

http://vixy.net/ is one that's still kicking...

Note the quality will be pretty dodgy... certainly not DVD quality...

I have the top gear thing on DV tape somewhere (I work at the BBC) but it'd be in PAL format. May be able to convert it to NTSC for you US chaps and burn a DVD but won't be able to test it...

Yes, Khal does

skemcin, you're welcome to a copy but it's about 700MB. A touch much for streaming or whatever, no?
