Saw it last night...great! I did like the Ferrari one where they show you how they cast/mold the engine block. Here, the parts were already made.
I was also under the impression that there is no structural differences between a cab and coupe. In the olden days Mercedes cabs had to be reinforced to compensate for the lack of structural regidity the roof would otherwise offer. Maybe I missed something.

Abe,
No, I don't think you missed anything about the structural differences between a cab and coupe. I recall that when Porsche was designing the 997, they actually started with the Cab and designed it to have good structural rigidity. The Coupe will still be more rigid than the Cab because of the roof connectivity to the sides and the rear, but the structural design began with the Cab.

For some reason my DVR dumped the recording. I don't see it scheduled to run again. Does anyone know if it is possible to buy the DVD or can someone supply one? This is the one show I wanted to keep... Murphy's law!

^Thanks. I don't see a way to download the whole program or purchase the DVD; unless I am missing something. I was hoping someone here could burn me a DVD... happy to pay the expense/postage.
