Your "links" all open in the same window not a new winow,this tends to lead people away from your site

Looks very smart though,far better than mine

I did it so that the thumbs would open into a different window. People always have the choice to open any page in a new window if they wish, just by right clickimg the link and selecting 'open in new window'

Really quite good.

What software did you use to develope it?

I have used Frontpage because I am a clutz at such things, and have a need to "nest" several personal sites within my business site. I have been able to deliver outstanding photo quality, however. So tho my sites work well, they are boring (hopefully referring to the site and not the content!). I have been trying to learn more.

Hi Brett,
Very nice, well done and thanks.
Did Geoff give you another clip over the weekend?
That supercharged test run, looked like Geoff's driving?
I'd know it anywhere, always scares the living $hit out of me, only 'cos I'm one of those control freaks!

Brett your site is superb, great videos and enough Corvette pics to satisfy any Corvette nut. Gaydon and LeMans videos are real good, must have entertained all those drivers of econoboxes!

Yeah, thanks for the wind up Brett.

Believe it or not, for a second, until I read down I nearly went for it and almost picked up the phone to get on to Geoff.

Thanks a million Brett, it was a worthy wait!
Didn't think the quality was too bad, not perfect but certainly one can get the idea of what it's about.
Great, great job, well done.

I kept the quality by setting the video camera up on a tripod in front of the TV !!!! worked quite well I think. Better than grabbing it direct from the video !

Hi Gixer,

Thought you might like some feedback from the USA!

Great site and looks good. The videos load initially in "mini mode" and need a right click to open in a new window. Even with a high speed modem (1.5Mb/sec)they're slow to load over here. Worth the wait though!

Good to see that the Vette community is thriving back home!
