Thanks to Brian for putting it on his Website.

It should be noted that I wouldn't normally do this but I had a new set of tryes in the boot ready to go on.

One of the engine coolant hoses came off, I put it back on once the engine was a litte cooler, filled her up again and off she went.

I must admitt though, slightlty scarey moment getting out of the car with all that steam!

Amazing... Since Alex posted this topic I've had over 200 hits on my web-site (50 in the first hour). Just goes to show how popular PistonHeads is.

For those interested I use a free stats counter from:
www.gostats.com

Manek....I agree!!

Before posting I investigated converting the file to mpeg format, but couldn't find any software to do this.

I don't think, anyone please correct me, that the Save as will work. Something to do with the video codec.

Alex, can you produce an mpeg of the original video to help out MikeyT ??

Mpeg would be great. I won't have any Real software on my PC as they spy on you, monitoring your internet access (really, load a firewall like BlackIce Defender and see how much traffic is going OUT from your PC to Real once you have loaded their player).

I agree but I think you can stop this by turning OFF all the stuff they have on by default, checking for this and that etc...

Marlboro,
If you go to www.vcdhelp.com you should be able to find links to software to change any movie format into pretty much any other movie format. Hear hear Manek - Real player is just a commercially available virus!
