^^^^ agree. A Porshce (heh-social networkers will get that misspelling that's gone viral) driven on our back roads in anger also attracts cow **** and feathers.... Tarred and feathered :-)

Nice vid Graeme and some great twisties being attacked. Might've been one of our favourite stages too, if we hadn't been put behind the officials' mid-pack Subaru as an extra punishment on this stage and the next.
The video seems to be playing back too slowly though compared to your normal pace so I checked into it. You got a 6m06 official time on this stage but on the vid it takes 7 min (0:45-7:45) for you to hit the flying finish. Probably a framerate conversion issue - I'm picking 30p recorded vs 24p playback or 60p vs 48p?

Some cams allow you to choose their rate (I run my front and rear at 60p to avoid the curvy window wiper rolling shutter effect) but it's probably the software's save settings in whatever you used to cut/edit that clip. And/or YouTube misidentified the original framerate. Maybe just try cutting and uploading it again? What model of camera was it?
Interesting what you say about the lease. You always have the skinny on these things Macca. I would think the "glamour" paint correction packages are really leaders to the maintenance washes. That work should be able to be knocked out in no time and the I would imagine they would get a goodly amount of regular clients here. Still the margins must be quite low.

SS9 Pumpkin Hill – Day 2 – Targa Bambina May 2015:
It was definitely our least trafficked stage (end to end), and one of our better ones although there were a lot of damp/wet corners in the shade and the back got away a little a couple of times. The GTR in front was being driven by John Hawcridge with Patsy as navigator and we seemed to keep up ok in the end. Total time was approx. 20% slower than Graeme’s Targa car…

Good one Macca. That wagon at 3:35 just adds to the drama with a random 'is that a speed cam' double take.
So your cam is recording in 1920x1080, 30P - probably the most common format still. Very unlikely to be the camera's fault, but when you play your Pumpkin Hill run back directly from the video file on your computer, does it take 6m06 or 7m00 for you to complete the stage?
Did you use any conversion or video editing software on it before uploading?
If YouTube has stuffed it up at their end then someone else is probably better to advise, since I use DailyMotion (who are more than capable of their own stuff-ups).
Your earlier YouTube vids ran at full pace, so not sure what may have changed.

was thinking of you the other day, as did a run North to look at some property in Russell. Stayed O/N at Tutukaka, and did the Tut/Hikurangi road.. I had forgotten what a great bit of twisties that is..Had the handbrake on the whole time.. but she calmed down once we got to SH1.
I wasn't allowed past your place on the old road..!

Watching it makes me want to get out and drive. We need to organise another weekend run. The cold and wet have made the roads a little treacherous, but with a decent warm up run and a sunny day, along with some empty winter roads...

Great to watch. It almost looks as though the camera is being stabilised, or did that happen in post production?

It's a bugger having the handbrake constantly pulled. The old Russell Road is brilliant on your own, especially either chasing Macca or having him or John M right up your **** :-P

Sold my 18" set of MPSS tyres today to a nice Cayman S owner. He's interested in doing some track days and I told him a little about what we do. Will see if he takes the bait.
