There is a supercar web page at http://www.lego.com/advanced/supercar.asp with
a password box. By typing in either "LT8448" or "lt8448", it should take you
to the following pages. The problem is that even if you type in the correct
password, you are not able to continue due to some unknown error. One can

URL of the site where you should end up after typing in the password. Would
it be illegal to post the URL of that site? There is no direct hyperlink to
this site other than going through this password screen which doesn't work.
Hmmmm...By posting this URL, it would certainly violate the copyright.
