Thumbs up Speed Viewers - Check out Fifth Gear!!

If you haven't seen it already. The British show Fifth gear dedicates an episode to the boxster as the best sports car. Great video of an S on track, used car buying tips, etc. Had a smile on my face the whole time.

I only saw the last 10 minutes and the show won't replay until December 21 at 9am EST on SPEED TV.

The driver of the boxster S on the racetrack is Tiff Needell, an ex-Formula 1 driver. No wonder he can make that car dance.

Set my VCR...hope it recorded ok. VERY much looking forward to it.

...wonder if anybody here can get it on their computer? That'll be the only way I can share it with my bro (VCRs are "old technology" so they don't have one!).

Don't feel too bad. I had my ReplayTV set to save only 1 epsisode by accident. So this morning it recorded a new show over the boxster episode.

At least I got to see the boxster piece yesterday before it was lost.

If I see it come up on the schedule again, I'll post it...

Don't feel bad. I was home at the time and just plain forgot about it. Man was I pissed.
