Smithsonian hi def channel special - McLaren featured

The Story of the Supercar
I caught this show tonight. It was really good, starting off with the early cars (Merc 300 SL, Lambo Miura) before covering the modern supercars. There was a nice segment on the F40, then it moved on to the orange GTR in Bahrain (I think that's where it was, could have been Dubai) and the Bugatti Veyron in France.

Anyone else catch this? It's going to air again 4 more times over the next week (Sunday afternoon on the west coast is the next earliest repeat).

Enjoy!

I wonder when it'll be on the Discovery Channel in the UK? Can any of you Americans host it somewhere?

If my friend is around, he can record it and put it onto a CD, from where I should be able to upload it. Stay tuned.

Re: Smithsonian hi def channel special - McLaren featured

update...i have some bad news and some good news. which would you like first??

the bad news
my friend doesn't get the channel, unfortunately.

the good news
but i went out and got a usb video grabber and it's working well on my laptop so i should be able to get it into my laptop next showing (in 4 hours). will convert to flash and upload after that.

unfortunately, it won't be in hi-def. in fact, it won't even be in 640X480 format because i don't have enough free space on my hard disk to be able to capture half an hour of video at that resolution. so it will only be half of that...320X240. i am trying to free up some more disk space but i can't promise anything more than 320X240 at this point, unfortunately.
