Lucky you had good rubber and your wits about you or I might have got carnal knowledge of her right there and then. Must've rattled things a bit though as I was surprised to reel her back within the lap...

First got to admire the other end of her close-up when you slammed the door on me (so late our cars almost had a love child ) entering the sweeper earlier that day. I do hope to keep seeing her on track - even if more sedately .
Cheers Walter - the only way I can overtake (or undertake) you guys was under braking into corners - 220hp is no match for 400+++)

That would make you the only one outside myself to hear it as intended. Interesting how they mute the video. I can hear it as a default. Others appear to be muted by software used to play it.

Should I be looking around nervously..??
Pass on my regards please.
Tom Warren has been doing a splendid job down here selling his blocks, but the marina thing could have merit I think.. plenty of boaties down here that would leave their boats up there for a season or two.
He going to be easy on the pricing?

Phil. I'm not sure. Should you?
Yeah. I'm interested in the commercial side. No idea re pricing. Mates rates may be more than I can land one for you lol!

Three M's of the South Pacific. If you weren't born there but moved there then you are one of the following:

Missionary
Mercenary
Misfit.

John, the video is muted when I watch the clip embedded in the forum post, but I can hear audio when I click through to the YouTube site proper.

Great clip, made me want to go out and drive.

Jake, I think that was your GoPro that day. Have to love a 64gb card. So you heard the full audio of 3 versions of Memories?

Are you doubting the power of the mighty 964? In truth, yes. I boosted it by 15% to give it more drama and to better match the pace of the soundtrack. If some wowser reports me to the Fuzz I'll say it was 50%!

Just watched it in 1080p on the 50" Plasma. Crystal clear. The GoPro can take a great pic.

It's also full HD in the full version not HD. 1080p looks incredible on a big screen TV. When it works well, GoPro is worth its weight in Gold
Nice, brought back lovely memories. I also watched the 3min Wairarapa back road run video which reminded me how much fun this was.... Love the raspy loud roar from your exhaust!


On the crown range morning I was out their early and went all the way over and a couple of k's along the valley on the other side. With no traffic it was glorious. I had to talk hard to myself to turn around and come back, by then the traffic was building and the fun was largely over. Great memories.

Looking forward to the big screen viewing John :-)

I think that is the model Paul missed out on his quest to lead the aircooled charge on track lol.

Seriously though John I know what you mean. Compression ruins these clips. The only way to really view them is raw in HD. Just need plenty of HDD...

John. Put together a 15 minute medly of the best bits when you have finished and had a break. Maybe include footage from Matt, Chris and others. We could play this on the cinema room of the presidential suite at the Hilton during the NITT!

No pressure guys :/

There will definitely be a showing. Maybe sooner than NITT though.

Doug, we never publicised that one, you'll have people trawling through my archives....That was a good driving day that one. I'll upload the properly edited video tonight. Another 4 hour download!
