A&Q about Lotus
Q:
Not sure if this has been linked before.
It is an Elise vs an F40 and GT3 on a track. It really illustrates what lighter weight means under braking.
A:
Thanks, Randy- I'd lost that link. From what I recall, that is an older Euro S2 Elise (i.e. LESS hp than the new Federal) but it has had some aftermarket suspension work. ..and an excellent driver.
A:
This is one I made a while back, I thought as we are getting close I might drag it out again.
A:
Two Elise Videos here.
1) Turbo Miata
2) Rear Wheel Drive Battle
A:
This is the most unique review I've seen yet. So unique that I should warn you it has adult content. Good thing I don't work on Sunday
Naked. As in unclothed. Not work safe. Jubblies. You have been warned.

Randy,
The page comes up, and the three-column table on the left side is there, and the Play stuff on the right side, but the gray columns are empty of any makes, models, etc. Just a blank table with headers. I'm running a Mac using Mozilla. Is this the problem? Thanks!
Also, I get a 404 Error: Page not found from Derek's link above.
A:
I fixed the link above in Derek's post.
I think it might be a Mac thing as far as the Top Gear streaming video site. They have a LOT of videos on there.
Any other Mac users having trouble? Andrew? Matt G?
A:
I get the exact same thing with my Mac running Safari.
A:
I got a blank table in Safari and while I got the table in IE, I could not get a video to run.
A:
I could not get the site to work under Opera on the PC. Worked with Exploder. Haven't tried FireFox, but I expect it will have the same problems as Opera.
On the Mac, I could see the text in the columns with Exploder, but didn't get any video. But I'm running 10.1, and haven't updated Exploder ever. I'm guessing I'm not linking the MIME type to the proper application. Opera and FireFox on the Mac did not display text in the columns.
I think it's an asp thing, and by default will blame Microsoft.

If you look at the page source, you'll notice three things: the page was generated by MS Visual Studio .NET, the page uses an ActiveX control to play the clips (so your browser NEEDS to support ActiveX--i.e. IE), and all of the direct links are in the code.
Here's a direct link to the video above:

Thanks for the direct link, Dan!

5th gear episode (5/31/04), Elise vs Vauxhall vx220. Kind of a big download, but quality is pretty good.
