Aaargh, here in Canada we get the canadian programming so instead we get some tree hugger crap.

ATX750i · 09-21-2008, 11:58 PM

Which one is that for GP20? All of them?

GP20 · 09-22-2008, 12:05 AM

They're both the same. Except one has better resolution & is a larger file and the other one is smaller.

ATX750i · 09-22-2008, 12:07 AM

Oh, ok. Thanks. This is gonna take a long while.

GP20 · 09-22-2008, 12:23 AM

Yeah it took me a few days to download as well. But now that I have it on my hard-drive & my laptop's hooked up to my 47" 1080p 120Hz I can watch it any time I want.

ATX750i · 09-22-2008, 12:25 AM

How fast is your internet connection? Fiber, T1, Broadband? That'll give me a pretty good idea of how many days that its gonna take for me.

"tree hugger crap"

Too funny.

Seriously though, that sux! It was very interesting, in fact since I missed the 1st few minutes of it, I plan to catch it again this Thurs/25th and this time tape/DVD it for keeps. So if you can download it onto your puter as someone else here suggested, it'll be well worth it.

Lisa, you rule!
I finally downloaded this episode and it was definately fun to watch.
Lots of facts I did not know about our cars.

Just make sure you don't watch this after the Ultimate Factories: Ferrari episode. You'll feel less impressed. LOL!
