Motorator Builds Out!

Motorator Logo

My friends have been working on a great website to host videos and get technical help on automotive issues. They (The Motorator folks) have built out the site to support video downloads, technical question and answers, and are building a dedicated community of automotive enthusiasts. ‘The Ripper’ has already uploaded a ton of his cool videos from old car commercials, movie clips and promos to racing ‘The Ripper’ and other sorted bits. If you want a nice place that is simple and easy to host your automotive videos this is the place to start. They also have a technical advice section with experts in many areas of automotive knowledge, and don’t forget that you can also help by being an expert on anything that you may be able to help others with. A chance to toss in your 2 Cents! I really like the name, the Motorator has a nice ring like ‘The Ripper’

The site is at www.motorator.com
