Need host for Port of Tacoma offload video.

I have a 4.2 MB file (2 1/2 miuntes) of raw uncut footage of our cars being off loaded at the Port of Tacoma today. If you can host this somewhere on the net let me know and I'll get the file to you.

I can host until my bandwidth goes to hell... I have 6GB/mo limit so we're looking at probably a day at best. Anyone would be free to mirror it off of me.

I appreciate it.
Just to let everyone know a couple of things:
1) I am not a professional photgrapher
2) I didn't do any editing
3) While taping, I was having to watch my 10 year old twin daughters (hence the conversation, etc) and carry on a conversation with the Port Operations Manager.

No need for disclaimers; the video's great. It's uploading now; everything should be set in about 10 minutes or so.

edit: i'm still trying... if anyone else can host, please do, as I'm questioning the reliability of my webhost at this time... right now i'm back to square one.

3rotor.....you're awesome! I can't wait to see the footage.

I want that video as soon as it is ready for download.

So when do they start installing the options on the cars? Is there any certain logic or order to what cars they do first/last? I'm just curious.....I know you have been talking to the folks that are working on the cars, so I thought you might have asked.

By the way.....what are all of the port installed items? The only thing I know of for sure is the stereo and any accessories.

At some point tonight, you might be able to find the video at http://www.laferle.com/rx8/offload.wmv

I just switched webservers so the DNS might not propagate. Replace www.laferle.com with www37.dixiesys.com/~admin79/ if the above link doesn't work for you.

And it's up!

If whoever has the file can upload it to my FTP server then it will be hosted along with all the other RX8 stuff I have collected...

Hostname: ftp.fsck.co.uk
Username: rx8
Password: mazda

You will need to upload into the "incoming" directory, although I will move it into the main directory as soon as I can...

PM me once you've uploaded.

Great video! I hope that was my titanium shown!

I thought that van was going to take a couple of the 8's out!! Now that would be hard to swallow -- waiting all this time and then having some port van driver total your car before it even gets off the dock.

I feel honored to be one of the first to see these cars finally arriving on our soil. Thnx for the vid and don't apologize for either the cinematography or audio. They add a touch of real-world ambience to the event. I had a big ol' grin on my face watching the cars go by. Server works great and I got quick, smooth video from it.

I especially like the sound of these cars cruising by, you can just hear the muted hummmm of the rotor. Anyone remember the old Mazda ads when they first started selling in the states (back in the 70's maybe?) They had a little song "Piston engine goes doing doing doing, but a Mazda goes huummmmm." Boy, ain't it da truth. The sound alone adds enough distinction to this car to give it that gotta-have-it quality.

Good job 3rotor! Thanks for giving us a view of our 8's as they first touched US soil (or asphalt).

Man that must have been fun to see in person. The red and blue were very cool IMO. THe silver is a little washed out but that does not surprise me given the lighting and angles.

Thanks for sharing the video and thanks for hosting the video!

So who will be first to get theirs? So Cal or Washington? I am betting the Irvine area

You can have that one as long as the truck stops in Omaha before it hits St. Louis :D
