Hey all you petrol heads
I recommend you watch this Doco
Great footage
7:30pm Sunday, October 16 2011 on ABC1 titled;
'Wide Open Road - Here Come The Petrol Heads.'
 
Wide Open Road follows three key themes: how a group of maverick petrol heads were able to unite the country by conquering the vast distances between the main colonial cities and towns; how cars were agents of change for numerous Australians keen to prove themselves on four wheels; and how the industry of making cars became the mainstay of our manufacturing industry.

These types of shows are normally blocked from a foreign IP address. I sent that link to some US friends and all have managed to watch it. I hope it stays that way.

Once you couldn't but I think there are a few apps now floating around.  Do a Google search on it "adobe flash for ipad"

Good luck.  As usual, the politics of the brands screws it up for the end user.

Thanks mwizz & CPU, tried iSwifter but that does not support 3G so I used Cloud Browse which worked. It has a 24hr free trial, after that viewing time is in 10 minute blocks for the free version.
