    Hello all,
    Thank you for your attention.

    I also missed the program at the NHK site.
    I could view the "NEWSLINE" live, but it looks they skipped to broadcast the program on their site showing "Wait until the next program". :mad:
    My friend recorded my part, but it was only 58 seconds long. :(
    I received the 33MB mpeg file.
    Is there any place to put the file?

    Regards,
    Ken@Japan

    FYI,
    My friend temporarily placed the 58 sec 33MB mpeg file as follows;

    All those Gen IIIs together. I feel all envious now.

    Congratulations on the appearance and the new car! The voiceover is wrong about pulse and glide though, isn't it. You step on the accel to release the engine brake, not to use the motor to maintain speed. The way the film was edited also made it look like you were putting the gearstick into neutral (!)

    I demonstrated shifting into neutral to avoid simulated creep and save electric power by braking at signal stop. It was not N-shift gliding.

    Anyway, it took two days or five hours video taking, then they edited it to 58 seconds. :(
