One of the links was to this;
http://www.roadandtrack.com/revvedup/matchbox-mayhem!
Classic
EDIT: It was pointed out to me that the link doesn't work. I suspect it's because the exclamation mark at the end is not being recognised. It seems to work just fine for me if I copy-and-paste the whole URL into the address bar of my browser. Sorry for the hassle but it's worth the extra 1.25 seconds for the entertainment, IMHO. _________________ '80 924 Turbo |

The BB software will not recognize it as a URL when it has special characters. Force wrapping it in the URL tags doesn't work either, will cause a blank message to display because phpBB doesn't know how to deal with the special character in the URL. Trying to remember if "!" are allowed in URLs...might be a disallowed character in protocol (HTTP). _________________ erstwhile owner of just about every 924 variant ever made |

...continued from above, you can get the URL to work by encoding the "!" with it's "HTML entity reference", which is "%21". Like this:
