For anyone who cares, apparently these videos are going to be removed from the Google Videos site at the end of the month.

Thanks for posting these Metro, my car didn't come with any manuals so now I know what all those buttons and lights on the dash do!

It'd be a shame to lose that first video in particular, but I think only the person who originally posted them can download/move them.

Owch! This is one of the reasons I look at 'the cloud' with a great deal of skepticism. I still maintain local-copy services for the important ones not because I'm overly paranoid but I remember throwing out a perfectly fine, Kodak instant camera many years ago through no fault of mine.
Let me suggest that before the end of the month, see if you can make screen shots of selected frames from the movie. Then assemble the snapshots with key text describing what is being shown. ... Of course give full attribution to the original poster of the movie.

Or a low-fi solution: set up a video camera to record the video on-screen (for personal use only, of course).
PS - noticed an inconsistency in the first video: at the ~0:48 mark, the drag coefficient given is .28 ("nought point two eight")

Get the Firefox DownloadHelper add-on and it will be easier for you to get them and then put them somewhere else.
DownloadHelper - Media download Firefox extension
Direct link to get it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ownloadhelper/
The drag coefficient was originally reported by Honda as .28, my 2000 Honda Insight service manual has .28 in text and its crossed out and .25 written in. The newer manuals are accurate though.
These videos are the best videos I've seen so far discussing the Insight and it also gives me a better idea of how much space I'd have under the car with the gas tank removed, seems quite a bit!
