1st Gen on Car and Driver
 
Car and Driver Televeision

There was a NICE (Absolutely MINT) 1985 GSL-SE on the show today (Saturday June 8th at 2:30 on TNN).

It was a nice segment on the rotary on how it's great powerplant and how it's making a comeback with the upcoming RX-8.

If you can catch the show later, - RECORD IT..
If you can get the clip on your computer and have it available for the rest of us, then - we will love you.

If we still have no luck, we can order a copy of the show from Car and Driver Television at the link above.

Fuck fuck fuck!!!! I just caught the end of the show, but I missed that part... :(

Is it gonna be repeated again this weekend?

WankelWannabe 06-08-02 02:13 PM

From car and driver website:

"CDTV is on TNN Saturdays at 2:30 PM and Sundays at 9:30 AM (Eastern and Pacific). Check local listings and satellite-dish electronic schedules for your area."

It's on tomorrow at 9:30 AM Eastern. Someone capture it to mpeg or something!!!

i got it as an .avi how would you like me to send it to you? PM me if you want

rxtasy 06-09-02 10:28 AM

i have the file on Kazaa for a while as Rx7Classic. i'll stay connected for a while so if someone that can host it somewhere else wants to grab it let me know. i don't like leaving the Kazaa connection open too long.

coldy13 06-09-02 10:52 AM

I'm downloading it from kazaa now, I'll say on for as long as I can. That way people have a couple sources to get it from.

MIKE-P-28 06-09-02 11:04 AM

Anyone got it on WinMX? I dont like Kazaa :)

rxtasy 06-09-02 11:12 AM

let me know if the audio is ok for you guys, the cats have been chewing on my patch cords again!! DEATH TO CATS!!! it's sounds ok on my computer if i don't turn it up too loud.

branca 06-09-02 12:30 PM

thank you Car and Driver!
 
That kind of TV clip is the best publicity possible to help ensure future production of the rotary car.

Education of the masses is the only way to overcome ignorance, and what greater example of perfection to use than a Tender Blue GSL-SE. ;)

My only complaint is that it wasn't an 84 with brown leather interior like mine :D

Mad props to Rxtasy!!

I was too lazy to get up for 10am today, so this is my last resort...

Someone's got it on Kazaa right now but I'm remotely queud... We need to get this up on some kinda fast server.

rxtasy 06-09-02 01:42 PM

directfreak has been dl'ing it off me on kazaa for like HOURS !! f'n slow today....

SilverRocket 06-09-02 02:01 PM

I'm downloading now, I assume you're 'whyjeep'?

It's slow as hell... I guess more of us gotta get a hold of it and it'll speed up.

rxtasy 06-09-02 02:13 PM

yeah thats me. directfreak just aborted, guess 2Kb/s was too slow for him

nimrodTT 06-09-02 04:30 PM

Anyboby have this video hosted yet? I still can't find it on kazaa.

rxtasy 06-09-02 04:39 PM

i added a windows media file called Rx7CarandDriver try lookin for that one. Silver got it already but i don't think he can host it, a couple other still tryin to get the other one but it's taking forever.

SilverRocket 06-09-02 05:29 PM

Fantastic!!

Many thanks Rxtasy!!

I'd like the bigger one, but the small one is still acceptable to get the gist of what's going on. Sorry, I can't host it.

If someone could host the bigger one, that would be awesome...
