Just finished - wow. Opened up the case to a nice surprise. Content awesome - memories rekindled - what a great event captured just right. Some clever tweeks made it even more entertaining and very professional. Again, well done Chris !!!!!!

The speeded up downhills to music are excellent too.
Freaked out at some of those sheer drops with only a rickety
bit of metal piping separating drivers to the abyss
I must have averted my eyes from those bits and kept them firmly on the road ahead!

Many thanks for the time you spent putting it together.

See you and Joh on the Peak Tour lunch stop
Guess I might get mine in a couple of weeks then

I saw FLAME OOPPPAALLLAARRHH Me so happy, WWWHHAAARRPPP Bang WWHHAARRPPP

Great work Chris, some nice touches with the tunes and the speeded up bits, and it was great to see some of the scenery we missed while concentrating to much on the many hairpins Some nice tyre squeal from the early risers too. And did I mention the Flames

Top notch Chapper

But thats all by the by, cos I saw FLLAAAAMMMEESSS

Forgot to mention that Sonja really enjoyed the flick too, high praise for a girl

And the fact that you had her moment of glory in it when she became the Swedish Horse Whisperer, EXCELLENT, she was very chuffed


Hoffster, I guess your family ripped the mickey out of you when they saw your funny dance

"Hoffster, I guess your family ripped the mickey out of you when they saw your funny dance"

I can see where the family line dancing lessons paid off Hoff

Sonja must be used to leading a horse living with you Mark note I said horse not pony:-). Paul will be after some cattle whispering tips for his next vid.

Wouldn't have minded but why on earth did Chris have to make it worse and slow it down?

Chris The cover and the DVD pics are ACE!! Great choice and the subject of much amusement!!! The whole package is terrific and a credit to you, unfortunately you've now set a standard for next time!!!!

Thanks guys, I just hope everyone else got theirs too, as it looks like we're the only ones left on this thread
Next time, I think we should invite the TOP GEAR camera crew along with us, really make a proper dvd with all those fancy shots they do
I was gutted my filming of you all up the sustenpass (I think!) didn't turn out, that was some great footage, and listening to you all from the other side of the valley was spine tingling, typical time for my video to throw a wobbler

Hi Chris

I got mine yesterday morning, thanks very much. As others have said, it's a very professional package and you've obviously put a lot of work into it. Well done mate

What!!!

There hasn't been a post on this thread for a week now.

We must never let this thread die

Looking forward to seeing Chris, Mark, Stormy and John tomorrow.

Also guys and gals - look out for the SIDC trackday at Brands Hatch on 6th Feb that Stormy and I are running

Plus if you are not members of SIDC, then go and buy membership you tight *****. Look out for my write-up of the Stelvio Tour in the next issue of True Grip

Cheers

Terry

I was in the gym last night, and had to go on the recumbent (sp?) training bike as the normal bikes were full, so I sat there for 20 mins giggling to myself remembering that poor chap we kept screaming past going up those 2 passes opposite each other on the friday
Was going to text one of you about it, but my hands were too sweaty

Is that you practising for next year then?

I did feel sorry for the guy, however - whenever we passed him, he was always going up-hill

Cheers

Yeah - I was wondering if with his "aerodynamic" nose cone and an umbrella, he could make a good crack at flying

I wonder if he has made it to the top yet??
