Why pay on Ebay when you can get it here for free. Drawings in a separate self extracting file.

Hi Hans
The links do not appear to work.

Hi Jeremy,
I think the files disappeared af the last hackers attack on the board. Alternatively you can find them here:
http://midas.orba-design.com/
Also lots of scans of articles on the cars in the archive section.

Same files available here;

What are the files in the /archive/drawings/ folder? I (and my PC) don't recognise the file types, and I don't know what program to use to open them, but I'm curious...

Most are jpg, others are selfextracting .exe files. There are also autocad files, but not in the archive section. These should be visible with the normal window programs.

There are three ".DWG" and three ".WMF" files. I believe ".DWG" files are CAD of some sort, which is why I can't open them. The ".WMF" seems to be Windows Metafile, I haven't tried to auto detect them yet.

(edit) Managed to open them with MS Office! Outline drawings of side view of the Gold coupe.

David, as you can open them, can you re-save them as a different file type, .doc etc and email them to me, I cannot seem to open them!

James, I finally managed by doing a "print screen" and saving them into MS Paint, then saving them - there appear to be only 3 different pictures, I've saved them all as both ".PNG" and ".JPG" types. If you can give me your email address, I'll send you them.
