We want #2532, not 2531 that is showing.
You will have to keep an eye on PBS's site
http://www.pbs.org/tvschedules/
to find out when it will air in your area.

 

I hope it's better than their previous fjc fluff piece.

Damn I missed the M5 review last week, this m roadster will be interesting.

 

Now I hear it is on the Speed channel as well.
Must check their site and record it.

DId anyone see it, last night. I missed it :pat: I guess I'll try later today I think it is suppose to be on..

 

Someone record this to their PC too if you are into PVR'ing.
I do not even know when it comes on in Seattle.

 

I will be up early to take one for the crew here

From Titan TV, my PVR online TV listings.

Motorweek
6:00 AM, 30 min
Sat 04/15/2006
SPEED 33
Other
TVG, English, 2006

The Toyota FJ Cruiser SUV and MazdaSpeed6 sport sedan are road tested. Also: PCV-valve problems; first looks at the Honda Fit, BMW M Roadster and Audi Q7.

 

OK the schedule lied.
It said the FJ was suppose to be tested this time, it is the next episode.
Pisses me off that schedules can not get their facts straight.

For sure it should be on next Saturday at the same time, unless it comes on some other channel.

I am not having any luck tracking it down on the PBS stations for Seattle.

EDIT:
Speed channel is airing a new episode next Friday morning at 4 am my time.
I will have the PC set again to record it, and when I get home if it is the correct episode, I will compress it and upload for all to see.

 

Corey, it's on PBS today at 3:00 PM Pacific Time TiVo says.

 

Bob, which PBS channel?
I only have two for Seattle.

Channel 9 KCTS
Channel 12 KBTC

No Motorweek for them today.

I will probably have to wait until next Friday morning at 4 am to get it.
_____________
I found one for next Thursday, the same as the one for Friday morning, just 12 hours ealier.

It's Channel 10 here in OR on DirecTV network.

 

Ahhhh, I be on Comcast cable network.
Totaly different.

Well, I be off to Doxon's to test drive a silver 6 sp

 

Short video, and an older one.

I hear the new one that this thread is all about will have some off roading in it.

 

Just saw motorweek and they had nothing but great things to say about the FJ. They were very surprized by its on-road manners and showed extensive footage of it off-roading. They loved the interior and especially its optional sound system. very good review overall. Nothing negative at all.

Went by my local dealer today, they still do not have one. I have yet to see one in person.

 

Paul, I was amazed when I seen it in person. It's much beefier in person lol

 

Corey, you're really going to like their video. For your sake, I'm glad they didn't show a Titanium Metallic or you'll be up all night.

The intro shows the Land Cruiser Prado SWB 3-door ($48,500) platform the FJ uses.

Then it goes straight to off-road demos with an excellent show of A-TRAC in action and impressive articulation for an IFS. What it might lack in articulation appears to be well compensated for with the A-TRAC option. They have very good comments about it's ergo and suitability for DD use that are spot on. They're over the top about the FJammer system, and I have to agree that it's superb. It doesn't just shake the mirrors, it shakes the seats too. A good, thorough review, actually exceeded my expectations for usually casual Motorweek.

 

Bob, can not wait to see it.

The sliver FJ that Jim drove today with me as the shotgunner (my Internet salesguy was in the cave) was oh so rad.

It did not have package one, just the stock stereo, no A Trak, but a locker.

Can not wait to drive the auto Voodoo that is coming in next week sometime.

I think many an old timer and hardcore off roaders are going to be surprised how well this IFS rig can tackle some tough terrain.

 

Member FJCruiserOwnersGroup over on 'Muds board PVR'd the show, here it is in QuickTime format.

http://www.fjcruiserownersgroup.com/...d=47&Itemid=30

Have not watched it yet, I went for the 10 MB version.

EDIT:
Just watched it.
Solid proof that IFS can rock crawl.

 

Windows version is up in a 16 MB WMV file.

My server is running a little slow for some reason, its an FTP issue, and I can not track it down.

See Next Post Down!
Link removed.

 

Anyone having problems getting the file?
I can not get it here at Boeing, it times out.

I was having this same problem with the 2006 project I worked on last week.
Something is keeping the files from loading fast with the YotaTech server, the files are being throttled back for some reason.

I will upload this to one of my Comcast accounts like I did the 2006 project, I should have it up Friday evening before 8 PM PST.

 

Click here to save the file to your 'puter.

I am getting around 800 kb per second off of my Comcast account, and the file I had up on my personal site I can only get around 400 kb per second.

I am taking the other file down.
