Hope someone missed me.... no vids for a while. The reason for this has been my preoccupation with work etc.
MW I have posted a couple of new ones worthy of your visitation:

That Challenger Tank link needs some sort of password I think, either that or it just hates me

 

[HealzDevo]

I agree that that Challenger Tank link needs a password that we just don't have.

I see this thread has reached the mighty milestone of 18 grand... not bad since last August when it started. However, I have only been doing YT for 6 weeks and it is already past 50 grand.... hence the appeal. Of course, as they say it's quality that counts!
It is OK posting there but less easy if you want to d/l a copy of the vid for yourself. I may be making a rod for my own back here - or it might be a big fat zero - but if you really really must have a better quality copy of the vid then I could post one up here.
