Default 944's or 968's on Motorweek

I've been searching off and on through Motorweeks show list for references to 944 or 968 tests, but have come up dry every time.

Does anyone either know the episode #'s for any of the road tests, or *gasp* have these recorded and feel like sharing?

I know Motorweek is the greatest, but I like the straighforward way they test cars, and they tend to show as much of the car as possible. Plus I was only 14 when they ran the original 951 test, so I don't remember much.

I was a young enthusiast in those days and recorded a comparison test between the 951 and three Japanese sports cars. It's on VHS tape and I've been meaning to transfer it to MPEG. The quality won't be the greatest, but I'll see if I can get it done sometime this week.

It was the Mazda RX7 (2nd generation I think), Nissan 300ZX Turbo, and Mitsubishi Starion ESIR.

Ok, I transfered the Motorweek comparo of 951 vs. Rx7/Starion/300ZX to an mpeg file. It is very large in it's present form, about 325Meg. I could perhaps sacrifice some more quality and make it smaller, but it will still be big. I have no place to host it. The file upload seems not to accept mpeg file extensions and I'm not sure it will handle something so big anyway. Any ideas on what I can do with it?

Ok, here is the Motorweek comparison of the 951 and three Japanese sports cars. Enjoy.

Anyone have the Motorweek road test of the 944 or 944 Turbo?

Nooooooooooooo! Removed by user?

If you can get it to me or tell me where to get it, I can host the full size and maybe a smaller version too.
