Is it possible to download YouTube (and other) videos?

With the right programs - yes.

Do a google search on something like "saving youtube video".

[Blknight.aus]

yes if you have the right add ons in firefox... goto the plugins page or appletts page whatever they call it and look for youtube downloader

I recognize that voice.
He's the one that used to say " at the third stroke, it will be TWO o'clock precisely" :D
There was a similar film that showed a LWB with a powered trailer having a race with a rover sedan.
They get to a muddy- really muddy- section and the rover spins out. The Landie hardly waivered or slowed down either.
In fact it was that film that got me interested in Landrovers back in the 60's:o

You've got to love those 101's. What an impressive bit of kit, and simply amazing with that trailer.

G'day All, 101 the ultimate Land Rover after the Ozzie versions of the military S2A's and the Rubery Owen trailer well it's certainly just ahead of the No5:D :p thanks for sharing the info, I have a video of British Army testing a new alternator on Lightweight's and Bedford F.Controls they are driving around in the sea water halfway up the windscreens good to watch even if it is a copy of a copy etc anyway have a good one Cheers Dennis:wasntme:

Not a bad video that one. Good link as well incisor, i'll have to use that one more often, easier to use than the plugin for firefox.

Nice clip, but does anybody know anymore about the trailer? What sort of hitch does it use etc? I bet if they even exist in Oz they are rarer than hens teeth.

From what little I know, the trailer is rigged via the pto and a uni to the trailer diff, this type of trailer would work with any vehicle which has a rear pto. but like the crank handle, the pto has almost disappeared....on newer vehicles....

making a powered trailer would not be difficult, finding the pto vehicle may be more problematic

Woulden't you need to mess around with ratios so the trailer wheels spin at the same speed as the towing car, or are most PTOs set to a standard speed?

G'day All, Post number 4 answered the question re the powered trailer, the set up was made by a company called Rubery Owen in the UK and one of these prototypes is running around cairns FNQ with the powered trailer, so all you people who frequent that part of the world you should keep an eye out for it and it's stable mate a Series 2A lightweight cheers Dennis:wasntme:
