[s-cars] MotorWeek Video Update - the Good, the bad and the Ugly

[Dan B]

I am sure we all like paying royalties and
copyrights and all that good stuff, but get
me the tape, I'll rip it to an MPEG, we can
all burn VideoCDs, and MotorWeek can
have $25.

Cheers,

Dan B

p.s. Dave, keep up the good work on keeping
the S-Cars in Canada, if I win the 6/49 I will
buy them all and sell them only to Canadians!
