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?

It should be on again tomorrow sometime....I forget what time.

Ya i just recorded it. Awsome clip. They didn't have anything but good things to say about 1st gens. They even tryed to explian to common folk how the rotory works with an animated cutaway.

Damnit! I wish I got that channel!!! Stupid basic cable!!!!!

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 on vhs, give me a while to convert it. :)

We are waiting... *s*

Here in europe we don't get the good american channels... only CNN and stuff...

sorry guys, forum was down or something last night after i posted.... i have it as an .avi but the sound isn't great. (not too bad) if someone can host it let me know.

i'll check back, i've been sick as a dog for 3 days and can hardly get out of bed :( i finally take some time off work and spend it all in the bathroom........................

on at 10am eastern 9 mins to go

i can host the file if anybody has it

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

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.

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.

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

Same here..Still Downloading though..Slow server.
I will post on Morpheus later..

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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...

i can put it up on rx7.otaku-wired.net if any of you have it lemme know... PM me

the owner of the car, terry, lives here in memphis. she bought it new and also has a red fd. she is a very nice person who is a true rotary enthusiast....as you can see by the condition of her car--all original.

I wondered about the car. The Wiggins gentleman had done some work for me years ago when I lived in Memphis on my RX7. It sure was a nice clip, and it is REALLY a nice car she has.

Wasn't there a thread some months ago about needing a first gen for a spot on C&D?

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...threadid=19679

And they say the search doesn't work... :D

its not on grokster, i thought all these programs ran off the guntella network.

someone needs to host that. i can't use p2p fileshare, so i need a web download plz!

It's Still not done. RXestasy, did you stop hosting it?
I am only half-way done.

Did anybody else get it?

I can host both large and small if someone wants to get it to me, or bring kazaa up long enough for me to get it. Ill host from my laptop for the day, and put it up permanently when I get home.

Oh, Im on a T1 during the day, and DSL at home.

Email me @ Josh.Wiley@kone.com

i have it up as an mpeg now, hopefully 79rex will get it and host it so nobody has to wait 20 hrs to dl it. sorry bout last night, the program i was using to convert the avi to mpeg has a feature that shuts the system down when it's done the conversion. i didn't notice till i went to go to bed, i'm still real sick so it's hard to sit at the terminal and watch whats going on.

I must be mental. I cant seem to find it. Ive been searching every few minutes for Rx7Classic every few minutes, and I had my wife looking also. Nothing shows up. I even broadened to rx7. Nothing. Ill keep trying and let everyone know when I have it up.

i disconnected at 2pm, i'm back on now.

It keeps telling me "more sources needed.":(

need web download plz! hehe. i feel so inept being unable to use kazaa and stuff :(

i don't know guys, i was on kazaa from 5:15-7:30 and nobody could find the files. kazaa sucks......... i'm not going to leave it open again, had some problems last night. "more power" was looking into getting an address i could FTP the file to. soon as i hear back it will be done. SOMEONE will host it sooner or later!!!!

Finally.

sorry guys, my friend had it up on his site for a while and a few guys got it, it was just a huge file and he couldn't keep it on (already over his 'alotted' space with his stuff) i'll try to convince him to put the smaller file on sometime if there is a problem getting from aaron or some of the other guys that now have it on kazaa and morpheus.

it was a bit of an ordeal, but worth the wait. very cool clip. i'm gonna watch it again when this fever goes away........ it's gonna be a bathtub fulla ice cubes soon if it doesn't (anything to avoid the hospital, haha)

I've been looking on Kazza for the last couple of days and nothing..... Has anyone changed the name of it?
What size is the file... Help me out here. I would like to have it.

Fuck Kazaa, i got it on WinMX, my user name is Suckdeeznuts115, the file is the same name ( RX7Classic.mpeg ) Go get it guys im on DSL.. About 50k upload is all I do tho, but If i know its you guys I wont disconnect you... Well anyone that gets
Rx-7 or racing vids from me never get disconnected :D
