Default engine build screensaver - the best screensaver yet

there is a really smart screensaver that shows a deutz 4 cylinder engine being built and then running. it's a massive file, but well worth getting if you can.

would love to post up some screenshots to show you how good it is, but it wouldn't do it justice.

talked about a little here:
http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum...ad.php?t=15948

looks like it can be downloaded from here, although I got my copy off a colleague:
http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/jone...CH.4410/deutz/

save all files to a directory somewhere, right click on the deutz engine.scr file and click install

the screenshots don't do it justice though, the animation is excellent. how did you get those screendumps billabong you wizard?

DaveEscos, I don't expect that you'll be too excited by it, it's just an engine.

What kind of plebston has a name called 'Rauri'.

Are you from some obscure mauri tribe? or did your parents think 'I know, lets make our son sound like a complete c*nt aswell as looking like one'

There are two which have an icon as a monitor type looking thing on mine... one of the file types is an application and the other is the screensaver, right click on the file type which is a screensaver... if that doesnt work then you will have to ask one of the technical bobbies on here
