that prodrive p2 on top gear looked alright and sounded good but it would have been better if they had made it with an impreza body but give the body a custom kit

 

my vision was more like:

woman driver, 2 kids in the back playing up, then in the distance:
1st kid "isaac, stop hitting me, something is coming behind us"
isaac "what, I can't see anything"
1st kid "I'm sure I saw.............yes, look, there, coming up the road, WHAT IS THAT?"

1st kid "mom, you might want to pull over!"
mom "you 2 stop messing about, I'm trying to do my makeup"
Kids in unison "HERE THEY COME"
as the 2 scoobys come roaring by, upsetting mums lipstick as the kids burst into shouts of glee as the scoobys dissapear into the distance,

close on shots of the kids quietly sitting in the back, with a frazzled mom with lipstick up her face

 

Wrong thread piehead

 

Is this gonna be the 'countryside' version of Getaway in Stockholm??

Getaway up the Snake, perhaps?

You could do a whole series like the Carry On films - Getaway Over the CatnFiddle, Getaway in Stockport or Getaway in Salford ( I think Jamie Theakston has already done the last one though!!)

Sorry Pete!!

Only messing Chris - sorry to muck up your thread. I do see where your 'vision' is headed though.

 

Looks good.

One point though. I think the music is fairly appropriate, but there must be a group out there somewhere that's done "Queen of the Snake?!"

Also, if I was driving up the Snake, and a man stood in a field started filming me, i'd turn round and ask him what the hell he was doing!

 

Pete, hows that Wales run video coming along? You know, the run we did in Feb.

 

lol at supers comment, he's been busy dai

anyway mad, where's your smacs badge, your on the committee ffs!

 

must say chris i think MRS wilkinson did a bloody great job keeping the camera so still while hangin out of the back window you can use my wagon like they do on top gear and have someone in the boot filming with the tail gate open? no problem at all ill enjoy the day out as ive never been over the SNAKE before and feel like myself and my car are missing something special

 

moneys, top gear would be closed down instanly if they had people hanging out the back of wagons!
I'm sure they use special trucks and vans to do the filming out of, and spend a fortune on suction mounts and camera gear in the process

 

I'm sure I've seen shadows of the camera car in shot before and it looked like nothing more than an estate with the back door open! Wouldn't fancy being slung about on The Snake without some form of safety rope though.

 

Top gear do hang out of the back of Estate cars!!! A mate does some of the filming!!

 

Hes doing as well as Chris and Jason with the Isle of Man videos!!

 

I've come a cropper on that, as all my footage is widescreen, and jason's and rogers is 4:3! Not compatible I'm working on it, dont worry. I've got months to go yet, working on petes timetable

 

what no appology cw? if you dont apologise i might not let you hang out of my boot with your video camera .

 

Oh goodee! No apology from me then

 

you can tie the camera man to the luggage hooks in the boot?
still owe me an apology though im a sensitive person and your comments have really upset me

 

Sorry to upset you moneys, but the thought of tying someone to the interior of the open back of a wagon, along the snake pass of all places, really makes me shiver with fear! God knows what the police would think of our antics if we were caught, and god help the poor sod tied up in the back if there was a shunt of any kind
I do hope your kidding about all this

 

ok then how about if we dont open the boot but someone sits in there and films out the back window now thats a bloody good idea. noone is going to bump into the back of my wagon as its to bloody quick for anyone to get near to. come on people im sure theres somebody in the smacs group who has been tied up and used a video camera in the back of a scooby a few times before ?



i still havent got my apology christopher?

 

The shots from the back of the cars are done at slow speed then speeded up and a differnt sound track put on them. The high speed on the track stuff the camera has special mountings and the camera man is normally strapped in .

We have had a firecat filmed like this

 

Not actually sure what I'm supposed to be apologising for , remind me.

 

lol welcome to worlds most ridiculous thread!

 

Super, you can't rush these things!

Tapes are in a box in a storage unit! I think thats a good excuse personally.

As for the SMACS badge...........i'll sort it later!

 

right this is my final offer! my idea is for some videoing from in front of you so if someone is in the back of my wagon (they can even sit in the back seat and just have the tailgate open) and videos you behind at a reasonable speed , then what you can do is speed it up like youve done on the video you have already made of the cars driving past. now i personally think its a good idea and very safe so if you want my help just let me know ok chris?

 

Massive thanks for the offer moneys, and the first oppurtunity I get I will show you the snake pass But you seem to have a rather unhealthy obsession now with getting someone in the boot of your wagon Drop it mate, really. Apologies and all that, but I don't feel the urge to film out the back of your car with an open tailgate, now if you've got a sunroof, thats a different story

 

Or a roof-rack

 

I've already got a roof-rack

 

Do you need me to come over to tie you to it?

 

My vision has now been thouroughly clouded by thoughts of being tied to my roof-rack, or worse, trussed up in the back of moneys boot

Mods, can you move this thread to muppets please?

 

well there you go i was just trying to be helpfull and you,ve got it in your head im some kind of deviant . good luck with the video chris

 

Thanks mate, although it's died on its **** now this week
