Nice to see the inline flash, P-head.   Any trick?

No trick other than simply giving it a shot. The next to the [insert image] is used to insert a flash object. It simply inserts the following: {flash=200,200}{/flash} (substitute real brackets for the squigglies). It occurred to me that youtube uses flash for their videos so I figured why not see what happens. I put the link to the vid in the brackets and changed the vid size and voila!

It freakin worked the first time!

Didn't see that coming. Nothing ever works the first time.

Oh. Ummmm... you figured it out.

I guess I need to read to the end of the thread before posting. Or maybe I just meant it as a primer for newbies. Yeah, that must be it.

It's not a good idea to weld the crownwheel to the pinion!

Meh..don't know what to write, so...Brawn GP scores a 1-2 in both qualification and race at Australian GP during their first official outing. Isn't it a greta result? One of the guys for WDC and team for WCC?

And Ross Brawn puts his name up as one of the most incredible engineers ever to participate in the sport.

Next time, can you write "spoiler", for those of us who haven't watched the race yet? :P

No, Trulli got a penalty for passing under sc.

And Vettel got two :D For causing the collision with Kubica and for trying to continue the race with a damaged car.
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Vettel did great for so much of the race, even without the 'miracle diffuser' used on the winning cars. The fates were against me in the F1 manager realm.

If the race had ended just a few laps earlier, I would have had the second and third place driver, and had better results in the engine and chassis department. C'est la vie.
