A&Q about Lotus
Q:
I tried a search, but couldn't seem to find it (probably here someplace).
I have an old tape I made from a series on 'the making of the Elise' or something like that. Talked about the design, interviews with key personell etc.
Of course, I can't find it around anymore.
Is this avaliable on DVD now? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
It was a very intersting show.

A:
I have it on DVD from someone. It is an awesome video to see. I don't think it is commercially available.
A:
If someone wants me to host the video file (if its not too big to send as a email attachment) Id be glad to host it for a little while

Just as an aside, this dealer in the ad Richard Spelberg, has been involved with Lotus stuff forever, I met him at a LOG, very reliable fellow.

If someone wants to still send it to me, I'll still host it. I realize it'll eat a lot of bandwidth, so it'll only be up for the weekend or so.

If you just seed a torrent then you won't even see too much of a hit.

I have an original VHS that was signed by Julian Thompson. I also converted it to DVD just incase the tape screws up. I don't think it was ever officially available on DVD. I personally don't mind passing it around but I'm not sure how I feel about ignoring the copyright.

US...
Anyway, i can also host it, if you figure a way to get it to me even 350mb
A:
I had no idea Lotus Elise existed and while visiting my home country in August of 1999 I was flipping through local cable TV channels when I stumbled across this show (must have been European Discovery). Right then I knew that was an ultimate MR2 (the car I was shopping for at the time and eventually bought in 01/2000) that we'd never get in US.
Fast forward 5.5 years and I got my own Elise last March. It'd be nice to have the video file now.
A:
someone please end this agony....I am dying to see this video.
this is only compounding my agonizing wait for the Elise.
A:
Someone, send a copy to me.......

Upoad it to File Front (free and no bandwidth limits, does tend to not let you download faster than 250kb/s )
A:
What if I were to send a copy and that person made a copy and forwarded it on the nest person etc. etc?
