Nice catch Robin, and thanks for posting Xbook.

Whenever I see something like this, it makes me marvel at how we are not all riding around on horses or living in caves. People making such specialized and or complicated things, with such a precise, convoluted process. And this is just SEATS!

wow.. those beige leather/cloth seats are really nice. I wonder which country was lucky enough to get them? it wasn't the US.

BTW it said that factory makes over 400 variations - is this just MINI seats!?

My dealer looked at it and fixed it once (replaced the entire seatbackframe) its still doing it. I don't know if it is the recliners or what.

Anyone else having this issue? Passenger side is completly fine, is rock solid.

yeah, when i first saw it... i was thinking someone screwed up calling it an r56 seat. But once they started showing the production it was definitely an R56 seat.

Yea, I wonder if it was even a MINI seat? That program does to some odd things from time to time. Twice I've seen it show a small die-cast model, rather than the real thing, when they are showing something about building the car.

Just tried it and it works fine for me. Contact your ISP and ask them why you can't access: http://gallery.mac.com/opking#100029

What type of error are you seeing? Can't access the page or the video doesn't load? It's a quicktime movie so you'll need a quicktime plug in.

Before you contact your ISP... clean out cookies cache and history.. and check your antivirus settings.. I doubt it is an isp issue. I work tech support for 5 major isp's.. rarely is it the isp blocking.. but a setting in your web browser, your quicktime..

THAT was a very cool vid! Thanks for taking the time to share it!

Yes, good things to check first. However, I've seen several situations where someone can't access a particular web site, but others can. It has always come down to a problem with a server at the ISP, or node somewhere between the user and the web page.
