As some of you may know, The team of highly skilled monkeys we keep in the offices of E30zone towers have been busy working away on the new look site.

We are proud to announce that we have footage of the forum for your viewing pleasure.

For higher quality footage, use the links below

You need to download this first: Flashplayer

Then download the clip: Footage

The team hopes you enjoy the footage and look forward to it becoming live as much as we do.

All comments are appreciated as always :thumb:

( The swf files open directly in Mozilla firefox - E30mark :wink: )

If it helps peeps, I just downloaded the footage file and used Internet Explorer when windows asked what file was used to create it. Takes at least half hour to download but worth it.

I'm about 20 minutes into downloading, so I'll "tape" it and put it up as a video file for Windows Media, WinAmp or RealPlayer - unless someone else does it first, if anyone would like that..?

It looks awesome. Not sure about rating the cars, I think I'll have to tidy mine up a bit before I put it up to be rated. Good feature though. All of it looks pretty fantastic, so well done.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone, you never know if change is a good or bad thing :wink:

The movie was made to show at the Pod on our projector but it was such a bright day, you couldn't see it :(, sorry I would have made it in a different format if I knew it would be used on the forum 8O

I'm trying my best to get it live asap but there is still a bit of work to be done yet. I will keep you all posted.

If you could do something with it, that would be great, thanks winkeye

You don't have to create a new account, so PM, sigs will transfer to the new Zone.

Thank to everyone donating we have the money for 1st year (this will be a yearly fee) to rent our dedicated server.

The Zone will have a dedicated pipeline and bandwidth of 1000 GB a month which is pretty serious stuff :wink:

If you have any more question, please post them and I will try and answer them asap :D
