I didnt see it but its probably the same one as they showed before, part of the 80s show.

Just did a quick search and I may indeed be about 14 months too late with this one! [&:]

Twas an H reg turbo, exactly the same as mine (apart from dark blue instead of black, and no split rear seat).

Also his ex 944T race car is on autotrader for 16K which I guess is why Needles is interested in them.

That was Rob Holmes car from the West Mids Region. The producers did contact the club for a volunteer but most of us chickened out in case Tiff did one of his wheel spinning, clutch burning, sideways spectaculars []

 

[944Turbo]

Not only that but they wanted a standard car which rules most of us out anyway

there was a link on Rennlist to a mpeg of this article a while back...

I think this was it, but it isn't there any more.

I have also looked to see if I still have in saved anywhere but I don't think I do.

 

[Guest]

I have it on my HD at home.

 

[Fen]

I found it on my HD too. If anyone needs it I could maybe figure out how to upload it to my webspace since I have 250mb I have never used.

 

[John Sims]

since I have 250mb I have never used.

Well that shouldn't take those of us on dial up more than three of four days to download. Any chance of a copy on disc? Please.

 

[Fen]

The file itself is 74Mb, not the full 250Mb. Point taken on dial-up users but what I don't want to do is spend the next 3 evenings burning CDs and then posting them around the country.

I will send you one John, but please don't everyone else start to ask for a disc. It won't take long to download for broadband users (if I upload it).

 

[Guest]

I can make some space available for about a week for members of this list to download if Fen doesn't mind uploading...

 

[John Sims]

I will send you one John,

You are a wonderful person. Perhaps, if you wait until you send out the indicators you could slip it into that parcel.

 

[Guest]

Who has dial up in this day and age, at least get in to the 20th centaury let alone the 21st. [8D]

I was thinking that very thing myself. Mind you I'm trying to upload it now and it ain't going well, so maybe I should stick with the technology I userstand. As time passes I become less IT and more Manager it would seem.

 

[John Sims]

Who has dial up in this day and age,

Me! And I get enough trouble with virusisss, virus', viri? without allowing them access 24/7.

 

[Fen]

I think you might be safer on broadband to be honest. My ISP are very proactive with anti-virus on the network, you can use things like AVG for free as protection on your pc and also spend a few quid (£50 ish) on a firewall and you're in business. No longer need to worry about a dialler connecting you to a premium rate phone line either as you can remove your modem connection.

 

[Fen]

OK, figured it out. It's available for download here.


Edit to add: Thanks for the offer Lockup but it was inability to ftp it that was at fault. Now it's the only thing on my 250Mb webspace that I've had for over a year I guess it can stay there indefinitely.

 

[danmason]

thanks Fen - that has made Friday afternoon in the office a little more bearable! [8D]
