Global TV in Canada will be airing a one hour Targa Newfoundland special on Saturday, January 28 at 7 PM ET. The show is narrated by Jim Kenzie, whom was one of the drivers of the MINI JCW that actually won the event. I thought it would be great if someone in Canada could record the show in QuickTime or Windows Media format so that we could share it with the rest of the MF readers.
Here’s a link to the story on Canadian Driver:

I understand the winning MINI was at the Detroit Auto Show. Any pics?
BCNU,
Rob in Dago
Pics are coming.
Any real pics of the Mini Concept from Detroit?
There only seems to be MINI press material.
Thanks in advance.
Great! I will look forward to it on speed. Oh wait . . .

Please my Canadian friends, if someone could do that….
mpeg, avi, whatever… I would love to watch the show.

The lighting on the traveler in Detroit was horrible, so I’d be surprised if anyone got any good pics. Also, those plastic wheels look 100000000000000000x worse in person. When I get a webshots up of the show I’ll post a link to it here.

get it recorded and with a reasonable file size and I’ll host it on the WRR server.
Tivo? what about ReplayTV (4k series, please)
I’ve got some semi decent pics of the Targa car, the concept and the MINI booth from the NAIAS on my Yahoo Photos website.

I haven’t had a chance to upload and organize everything–the yahoo firefox uploader was behaving oddly last night–but the MINI pics are in there somewhere.
vin.
Cool Thanks Vin
BTW what was the story with the MINI on the wall?
Would absolutely love to see it. Customers don’t believe me when I say a MINI beet a 500 H,.P. or some crazy output Mustang Cobra R and a Hemi Dodge Charger. Power to the little one!
This program was more a travel log about Targa Newfoundland and some strong individual determination story than any great racing action… Don’t expect much to do about MINI nothing.
I recorded the show and have digitized. I have a 320 MB version and a 110 MB version (MP4).
There wasn’t very much about the MINI that won, weird since it was narrated by the driver of it. As Ted said it was rather a overview of the Targa then flat out Racing Coverage.
Just trying to figure out the best way to get it out there – i’ll upload it this weekend.
