Hi m8! Yeah - good to meet up

I got distracted after lunch by a van selling cheap cider and spent the rest of the day lazing about on the grassy bank

Got some vid of you guys, and of the Pro cars, bikes, jet car etc - will post up a compilation when I've time...

Cheers

Rog

p.s. no hard feeling that EVOs are now quicker than Imprezas, I hope?

Nice Rog - will have a good look tonight

Can't believe you got my SLOW run by the way on the vid.... managed a 13.5 on my second and final run - not great but still quicker that Marv's 409bhp Beast.... hehe..


Marv - you should ask Rog for some driving lessons - as he said you needed them anyway.

Video excellant and pointless with cars driving 1/4 of a mile as fast as possible. Guys based on our recent experiance reckon if you could not see down the track and you had to over take a lorry on a blind corner your 1/4s would of been quicker!!!!!

"Well I got EVO back today, and all is well"

Good news there Rog imagine bit of Waaarrrppping going on there with that lovely hat on of yours. Bet its looking forward to the SIDC knockhill day big time.

"Found a great Ring guide for you guys"

Excellant very funny, but it seems that Lindsay and Stormys in car narrative was a little more blue. With the odd insert of "wish I was in Rogs HDI"

Yip - can't wait until the 22nd - EVO going VERY well at the mo... Don't think I'll have coilovers fitted in time, though...

Terry, you must have mis-heard me - I'm sure I said Marv should give YOU driving lessons

Looking forward to the Official DVD - how are your computer & car woes coming along, Chris?

It's a labour of love roger, believe me
I'm on day 3 now, we've just gone over the top of the STELVIO, and I'm cutting the trip down the other side up, which is making me dizzy!
My editing program is cool, I've got the dirt road we did from 2 view points, just before I stopped filming that bit, Lindsey starting filming from the back seat facing back. So there's a bit of PIP ACTION, then it cuts to Lindsey's footage, see if you can spot the sign by the roadside where I did the cut
It's deffo going to be a double DVD. On day 3 now, and only got 20 minutes of footage allowed to go on this disc to make a 1 hour film. (Not dual layer)
So disc 2 will have friday, saturday, sunday and mondays return on it. Considering I didn't do any filming on monday, that'll be an easy day to cover.

chris.

Ok you

Found out it was my fuel regulator - car doesn't go too quick on fresh air apparently!!

Was doing 13.2's before I had it modded seriously!!

As for the lessons - well ------------------------->

whoooo haaaaa, I've finished the first disc
53 mins of scooby up and down mountain action, with a bit of banter thrown in for good measure
As I sit here at work, my pc is rendering it, and I'll have a look when I get in tomorrow, to see if it's worked out ok.
I particulaly like the menu screen
I'm going to have a real go at part 2 this weekend, so hopefully I should have some ready to ship by the end of next week.
Obviously terry gets the first one, free of charge, for all the effort he put into getting the trip off the ground,

watch this space
