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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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...
