260 ON TOP GEAR 2004 Metalic Red - Page 2

My second favourite colour then.

First being Twilight of course!
Third being Firefrost
Forth is Royal Blue pearl
Fifth is Ignition Blue..................

Oh they are all nice

However if anyone hears of a 260 ZT-Tourer for sale in Aurora let me know, that would be a mighty fine motor to own.
Also has anyone got that same Top Gear Clarkson footage on DVD?

you can download the youtube video using a program called vdownloader. then burn to dvd? although if the quality isn't that good then its not worth it.

Thanks Peter
I was after some DVD quality footage of everything to do with the ZT.
Like you say, any You Tube footage is not worth archiving due to its poor bandwidth IMO

Hi Jules are you sure this Utube link is still working? I'm having no success

Jules · 17th November 2007, 13:27

You're right Brian it has been removed

Due to permission rights etc.
Perhaps the owner of the said car doesn't want people to know it was thrashed by Clarkson when he comes to sell it!

Or maybe the the footage is still owned by the BBC, but then there is plenty of BBC footage on You Tube. I wish I had saved it now with that vdownloader that Pmessling mentions
Any legal bods on here know what the law is?

i have it cough cough,

Jules · 17th November 2007, 13:55

Aha! Guard it with your life!
Wonder if there's better quality downloadable archive footage of this on BBC website.
Might have a look later.

This comment made me chuckle by Sh4rky on XPF:
Haha, so Clarkson smoked a pipe in your car while melting the rear tyres, that's got to add value!!

pmessling · 17th November 2007, 13:59

He really likes it.

I never realised it was so slow though.
I liked the comment to leave it in fourth and you never need to change gear.
