MG MGA - MGA in a new film

We went to see the UK film "Cemetery Junction" last night. It's a Ricky Jervais film based in 1973 Britain and it has an Iris Blue MGA driven by one of the main characters - I didn't get the registration (probably false anyway) but it looked like a 1600 Mk1 - I wonder whose it is?
It was a good film by the way - lots of nostalgia and humour - cheers Cam

Very interesting, Cam. I lived about 1/2 a mile from Cemetery Junction and owned a MGTA in 1964-66 and a Glacier Blue MGA in 1973-75. I look forward to seeing the film. I did my first cylinder head gasket change in 1965 about 300 yards from what we used to call the 'dead centre' of Reading.

I have just tried to watch the trailer and clips after 'Googling' the film. After about 5/10 seconds the clips pause, and a circular counter rotates in the middle of the screen, before playback for a few more seconds.
As far as I am aware, I have the latest flash player.
Any ideas?

Your connection is too slow (or narrow or whatever the correct term is!) to allow the video to stream. My "broadband" is through the phone line and I have the same problem if I want to watch a film off the net. So I have to download first. You might find it's ok at certain (off peak) times.

I have just done a download test, and it is 4778 kbps. the max I can get in my area is 8meg. I have been told that the current speed should be adequate.
Computers!!
