No idea why I clicked on a link that has no explanation. Anyway, ran into a barrier as it is 'premium content' so I guess I will never know. The site even asked me for my mobile number!

I think it was supposed to link to Top Gear USA episode where they raced to the Grand Canyon, one in an LR4/D4, one in Toyota FMJ and one in some absurdly customized Jeep costing $130K. There was much mirth and sarcastic remarks initially about the reliability of the Landie but it acquitted itself well...wasn't quite Clarkson driving it up a Mountain but moderately entertaining. I think the only thing that failed was the plastic wheel arch trims flying off and being duct taped back on.

The link wants you to install NextGen Media Player and there are some reports online that this, although not a virus, will give you pop-up adverts and 'optimize' your browser to their setting, I personally would avoid it Cheers Ian

I'm sure there are plenty of <ahem> offline backup sources for this material if you search...

Is there any place to see this without being subjected to wanting some random site wanting me to download/update stuff?In loving memory of FA54WSK.
Rest well old friend, your work is done.
