Very sad - hope he gets it fixed soon

I'll try and find the bit where they announce the times, but I'm sure it was in the 12 seconds

Might be some settings, best thing to do is get a copy of Getright off the web, then all you do is click a link or "right Alt" Click, to download a file.

It's a download manager that has some great features.

Just right click on the link (or if on an Apple Mac hold the shift key down and click) and select "save as..."

You can then save the file to your hard drive and play it from there.

I dunno much about p.c's either but I just clicked on the site and windows media player fired up. I then waited about 15 mins for it to load (with the occasional still frame in view), then re-run it.

Right clicked, saved it and viewed it!!!

Thanks for the help - it may be my firewall stopping me linking to temp download files, perhaps, or perhaps not..

1st time I've seen the clip - Ouch

But he's gutted - Kind of funny to watch tho'...!!

Only just seen this.. Glad to see the driver walk out of it.. IIRC feet are rather close to the front in those things.. Was it road legal? Be interesting to see that surprise a few of us on the road..

He'd come all the way down from Scotland to do this (run not crash) too.

I bet his daughter was glad she wasn't in it this time.
