Great videos and very funny too.
I can sympathise with James as I was in London a number years ago on a Honda CB400/4 which decided to break down on a busy road...not a fun experience!
Does anyone know how to download videos from YouTube? I'd like to keep these on my PC.

Marvellous - Have just enjoyed them immensely during a quiet Sunday morning Surgery.

tried again and it said that the videos are not available.cant even get onto www.youtube.com just keeps redirecting to http://au.youtube.com
oh well.how else am i going to get the vid.
can anyone email them to me.

Oh!  I didn't even notice the "au" bit.  Abbreviation for australia of course but I've no idea what's happening there.  When I get home from work in about 4hrs from now I'll download them and break them up into smaller vids and email them to you kolin.

Martin, apart from keepvid which I've used too, you can also find the vids in the "temporary internet files", they'll be all named "get video" followed by the videos' internet addresses.  Save them into a different folder so you can watch them using an flv. player which you can find on the net for free, or you can download a program called SUPER from eright software.  Do a google search, it's a brilliant program for converting any kind of video and sound format into just about any other kind of format you can imagine.  I usually convert youtube's flv files to mpeg or wmv files.

I can't access them either. I know I have problems with YouTube and the Turkish authorities blocking it, but going via a proxy, I get a message saying "we're sorry, this video is no longer available".

My favourite line "You bought your cars because you think they'll make you look interesting."

thanks to Oscar for the downloads.
yes he said 15k in pounds.
thats plenty moollah, but then he can afford it and i am sure he wanted it purfect.
my parents wanted to buy the president of kenya's 600 (president kenyattta)when we lived there as they were on speaking terms, only to be told that " only the president is allowed to own a 600". many times we would be driving somewhere and the pres and his escort would ensure that you were pushed off the road when he was drving by. and when we were sometimes driving to the coast, about 400 kays, no speed limits and good roads and with elephants and other animals crossing , and it was hot , the pres and his escort would come belting past us and we would be doing 100mph, before we slowed down and moved onto the shoulder.
popped into some anitques car place yesterday and saw a rolls like what james nbought, told the wife that i want to buy something like that, cheap at 65k in rands, and put a tow bar on, drive the crap out of it and tow with it just to annoy the establishment.
