Did anyone see
Top Gear, Monday 13th,
classic mini sent down ski jump ramp,
perfect take off,
perfect landing,
power slide at the finish,
no damage,

Grrrrr, shush, I'm waiting for the repeat on Saturday after missing it last
night ;-) Sounds as if it was a comedy filled episode.

Could someone 'over there' PLEASE capture this for us unfortunate NON-
UK enthusiasts... The BBC page says that they don't stream to non UK sites
and I'm in Canada (A former colony for cripes sakes! =*)

Yeah and who says classic Mini's don't stand up well in an accident, that
Mini hurtled into that wall and just bounced off, amazing!

Get hold of a copy of Flashget from http://www.amazesoft.com/ it allows you
to download rather than stream the file and can handle the RSTP protocol.
The url for the downloads are:

Trailer with Mini 1.7Mb

rtsp://rmgeo.bbc.net.uk/bbctwo/media/programmes/topgear/bb/tg_trail1_16x9_bb
.rm

Full Show

rtsp://rmgeo.bbc.net.uk/bbctwo/media/programmes/topgear/bb/tg_120206_full_16
x9_bb.rm

I'd never heard of the RSTP protocol until yesterday when I wanted to
download and save a copy of the file. A bit of research and I found the
initial .ram file is a pointer to the URL of the rm file and can be seen if
you open the .ram file in a text editor.

Cheers

Peter
