Hi.
I can`t seem to play the file through windows media player due to it beginning with mms://
Its the mms bit that is causing problems, the media player says "cannot play file because the specified protocol is not supported, if you typed a url in the open url dialog box, try using a different transport protocol(for example "http" or "rtsp")
is it my player that is playing up or me?

I right clicked and opened in new window that loaded up fine once I gave media player9  permission to access the internet.

Beauty of a motor what a shame,  :'( did they rebuild it?

The Building of Norwegian sentenses is almost the total opposite of Englich, so its not that easy to tanslate the exacte sentenses, with the same meaning as in Norwegian..

But here it is..... (if there is somethin you dont understand, ill try to refrace it..)

Tv mann:
The 1,2 mill koroners car, formaly owned by earlier world champion Carloz Saints..
Is one of the rawest of its kind, the Ford Escort with 770bhp, is here beeing promoted to the press...

Everything was going great, until this happened....



(car going sideways into the forest whit real black braking tracks...
onloockers says, oh no.! what happended,  and so on...)


Tv mann:
The Driver lost controll in this corner, and whent far into the forest,
the passanger got mildly hurt, and got escortet to the hospital, and the car is a total wreck..


The Owner:
It was a realy bad start for us, when this is the car we wanted to have with us an show of to promote what StreetCar clubb stands for,
and then this happens, it is sad for the publicum(onlockers) and it shows why we do this
in controlled legal formes an on locked circuts whitout other cars pressent........ bla bla bla

the rest is just to promote the steetcar meet, that it still will be thing to see at the meet...

Guess he says this caus its starting to be populare to do stunts and filming it in some places/emwirements.? in norway...
(interested in links to some of this.?) ;)
