Thanks guys,

Thats why I asked the question, because the FC was familiar.
John and his brothers grew up not far from me when I was young.

Hey RET , Thanks for the edits ... haven't quite worked it out yet !!!

Cheers , Dave .

No problem. There is a YouTube button next to the one you use for static images. Clicking it produces this:

Code:
[youtube=425,350][/youtube]

Replace the 425,350 with the dimensions of the video you're posting (you can find that in the 'Embed' code on the YouTube site).
Put the video ID between the tags.

So one of your previous examples (the V8 Effie) which was this:

Code:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s6jG809tXw

would look like this:

Code:
[youtube=420,315]7s6jG809tXw[/youtube]

Hope that makes sense. If the video appears in the "Preview", you know you've got it right.

cheers

Recent footage from historic meeting at Baskerville. A bit long and not the best clarity. Regularity race.. interesting when you nominate a lap time but still have to contend with other cars. Did actually come second with only the loss of five points (you start with 50 points and you loose points for every second over or under your lnominated lap time)

Keep the photos coming Dave they are very enjoyable
