All, I posted Don's video to RennTube.

The playback seems a little jumpy at times on RennTube, but the quality looks good. Thanks for uploading.

Nicole, RennTube should work for you.

Don,

Great work on the DVD man! Loved that first tune... band and song por favor...

I liked the cars on the dyno but was REALLY hoping to see Louie's car!

NP. The trick is to hit play, then pause it. The grey bar will indicate that its loading. The small videos load so quick that you never notice it. Considering its a 20 minute, medium resolution video, it takes a bit to buffer :-)

The conversion factor currently setup for RennTube is ~VHS quality.

James,

Flew in from San Diego Friday and didn't make to the dyno until about 3. Was very sorry I missed Louis's car. I think people's ears were still ringing.

The band (both songs) is a little known, but becoming more popular, Brittish band called Porcupine Tree. I discovered them 6 or 7 years ago and have become an addict. They've been around a while and have tons of great music ranging from Pink Floydish prog rock, to more recent Metal influences with some nice melodies mixed in. The musicianship is incredible and they have one of the best drummers around. For a sample go to Amazon, and listen to samples from a few tracks from Stupid Dream for the early style, then a few tracks from Deadwing or In Absentia for the later Metal style.

The songs I used were:
Shadow from Deadwing
Anethesize from Fear of a Blank Planet

There's some video of the band here (need Real Audio player)
http://www.studiomlive.com/webcasts.html

jleidel,

Is RennTube associated with RennList or a separate site?

Ut o, is this now off topic?

Porcupine Tree is great driving music for the Porsche 928!

^^^ ...and I'm glad it is documented for eternity how I sip on my coffee. Not the most flattering clip, but what the heck - I'm famous now!

Videoing / Editing is a dangerous job....

Roger, I'm sure it's the wide angle lens I had on my camera, makes everything look wider than it really is :-)

One of my best memories will be the look on Jim's face when we present him with the special cover and Project 928 book.
Out of us all Jim was the hardest working person and behind the scenes kept me sane and pulled everyone together. I am proud that he calls me a friend!

Agreed, Jim was the key for this.

An another note, I noticed there were only two pics of me, and I apparently wasn't sucking in my beer gut.....damn I didn't need to see that.

Great work on the vids and pics guys.
