Have you got the latest Divx? www.divx.com

Grrr, it got to 90% and it stopped, and now it won't go past 15%!

I can't get the avi to work, I can just hear the sound. I have both Quicktime and Windows Media player. Any advice? Thanks.

select the 'save target as' option; a dialogue box should open up,and the file name 'enzo' should appear in the box next to 'file name' and you can select which folder/directory you want the file to save to. the desktop is usually the default directory for saving downloads. if that doesn't work, i can email it to you; however, be sure to have the DIVx player installed, otherwise you'll just get sound.

Help
I'm trying to open the video. When I follow the directions and "right mouse click" I don't have an option that says "save to disk". What am I doing wrong?

Would somebody be so can as to rename this file with a different extension. I doesn't matter what as long as it's not .avi, .mpeg, .rm, .wav, .mp3. Stupid firewall at work won't allow those extensions.

or multiply by 0.62, easy to remember because all runners know a 10k is 6.2 miles or a 5k is 3.1 miles.

You are a very lucky guy. oh if you do get a video can you put it in zip format please. I know it doesn't reduce the size very much but I'm behind a firewall which doesn't allow me to download any video files.

Can't wait to see that video

Oh and DES, to convert km/h to mph you just divide by 1.6

DES!
"braking with a high margin of safety we reached 166 mph before Ascari, 169 mph before Parabolica and 175 mph at the main straight." -approximately (sp?) values)-
Diving into the apex of Parabolica in an Enzo! I can't even imagine. You're damn lucky :-)

What a week end!
In two days I've been able to take passenger rides in two different Enzos on track and on street!

What a car!!!!

This is one instance in which even if your expectations are extremely high you are blown away by the actual experience.

On the track I've really been able to asess the car's real potential, because the owner was a good driver and was driving pretty fast.

The acceleration is tremendous of course, not really the kick in the back type because the delivery is istantenous, there are huge amounts of torque at any revs.Sixth gear in the Enzo feels like 2nd gear on my Modena(almost )!
The F1 system is a vast improvement from the 360s, a real rifle shot, even on upshifts...
But what amazed me the most was the handling: the car is really tremendous, the front end dives for the apex with such speed, it's incredible, allowing for entry speeds that would make you faint!And the grip, oh my God the grip!Lateral accelaration is so high it defies belief.

If anyone knows Monza racetrack here are some parameters:
braking with a high margin of safety we reached 265 kmh before Ascari, 270 kmh before Parabolica and 280 kmh at the main straight.

Just amazing!

Pics and a video will follow...
