I made a few changes to our video players this morning, especially in the Video Center. Due to our video hosting partner discontinuing the pay-to-download feature, all the episodes of The Vintage Vehicle Show have been removed. As have a few of our DVD features. In time, we'll make parts of these available as individual clips. If there is a specific video you remember and want to watch, but is no longer available, let us know and we'll see if we can post it sooner rather than later.
Hot on the heels of Apple's new 1.1.3 update for the iPhone and iPod touch, we've added a special Driving Sports icon to take advantage of the new ability to add custom bookmarks to the devices' touchscreen interface. It's easy, just visit this page on your iPhone/iPod Touch and hit the new "+" button that appears in the Safari browser.
