Many thanks for this.....on top of a great review the video is also excellent quality! Will you be doing the same for the Fifth Gear review?

Cheers

Sorry Glenn did not think to look where you were!!

It was on the day after the Top Gear review (Monday 24th), on Channel 5 at 8.30pm. Was a review by Tiff Needel of a silver hi-power but this time on the normal UK roads. Was expecting him not to like it but he also gave it a favourable `thumbs up`

Was just hoping that the video might be available on-line and have looked on the rx8club and rx8ownersclub sites but nothing so far. On finding your hi-res version of TG I downloaded it straight away as it is superb quality and will be able to bore people at work with it on my laptop!!!!

All the best

Hmmm,  if you know someone that recorded it etc.  we may be able to do something.

Yep - Philip the guy who does them for me does an awesome job.  hehehe - good stuff, more they see the RX-8 the more they\'ll want one :)

Yip OK..........will let you know if I find anyone. Pass on my thanks to Philip!

Seems since people at work have seen the TG review they are now asking `Is that the car you\'ve ordered?` followed by ` I\'m going for a test drive....it looks superb and the price is unbelievable!` Looks like the media has done Mazda some excellent advertising!....mind you the car is superb!

All the best Glenn,

Doogy

Gary................here is a link for a vid of the Fifth Gear review from Channel 5. It\'s the whole 1/2 hour show, RX is about 5 mins from the start. You\'ll find it interesting I\'m sure compared to Clarkson!!

For the actual video file?

http://gear.viper007bond.com/download.php?show=fifthgear&date=2003-11-24

I get an error.

I know that I\'ve been having problems on other websites, and I think it is down to hackers from a similar band of IP addresses - as that is what one company told me (they had to give my individual IP address access).

Very frustrating!  not to worry - I\'ll try again tomorrow.

The video file has been removed. :( The error is:

 Not Found. The requested URL /m3/m3/Fifth Gear/Episodes/Fifth Gear - 2003.11.24.wmv was not found on this server

Is anyone who downloaded it willing to host it for others to see please? :wave

I just saw the Top Gear clip - excellent! Suddenly I want to buy an RX8 again.
