SLK55 Track test video

I have just come across a new Best Motoring video which features the SLK55, old Boxster S, S2000, Z4, Crossfire and 350Z and in the small clip the SLK55 was at the front after starting at the back........ if you can find a copy you may enjoy it! heres the clip http://www.bestmotoring.jp/digest/BM/video/BM200503.asx

Its the new Best Motoring and you can buy it on eBay here

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6369470045

It looks fairly likely that the SLK wins so some of you may want to part with $29 to buy the DVD

I have this dvd.

It did 0-400m in 12.6 seconds is that good? It was quicker with roof open????

On the track it was 1st by 6 seconds from the Boxter s ( old shape ) and had these following, 350z, s2000, z4 and crossfire. It started from the back and was first by the time the first lap ended. By the end of the race it was 6 secs clear. Think it was 3 laps.

Quite a good dvd, could do with a translator though as it was japanese i think.

Okay, I was just able to switch regions on my Dell computer (from 1 to 2) but they've restricted it and I can only switch 4 times! What a rip, and another reason to hate Dell.

I'll have to see what my Sony DVD player says about switching regions. Right now I feel so technically impaired and pooped I don't even want to deal with it :p

Lisa, all DVD players the same, not a Dell thing. You get 5 chances to pick/change the region your are in. Blame Hollywood and their lawyers.

Potential solutions (before you end up with your Dell locked in Japan mode for DVD!):

Easiest, make a VHS recording of DVD.

Hardest, go out into the wild web and learn how to rip your DVD to your hard file and then make the file regionless, then reburn to blank DVD
