    If you want to post an article that includes a video, this is the place to do it. Posting videos in an article is just like posting videos in the forums. So, if you have any really good British Car related videos, this is a good place to post them. Of course you can still post videos in the forums, but this is a good place to post them also if you have videos that you relly think deserve more prominence.

    Take yourself back to 1952,
    See the cars from Detroit drive through Kalamazoo,
