QUICK TIME NEEDED



Hey Guys ... I got bored this morning, so I woke up at 6am and decided to go for a little drive. I had my camera with me, so I took some video of me going about 170km.

and check out these videos.


morning run in the boonies
and
ditto

If you can't see the video:

right click on the link

then save target as.

no offense but you're going WAY too fast on a little street like that with oncoming traffic...

Cool !

Dangerous but Cool..........


Oh yea, what's that green light on the left gauge I see at the end of the video ? (sorry I don't have the car yet)

So, I guess you were holding on to the camera while driving at 170km/h on a single lane highway ???

no houses in the area .... 2 lane hwy .... those people across from me are doing 100. I've taken that road tons of times. It would be no better doing it on a hwy..... But I do get your point. I'm just starting to realize it now. This car has control over me ........ :)

Hey Smoker.... the green light means the lights are on. :)

I just noticed that. I didn't think the camera would pick it up.

You can hear the beep when it redlines :)

I can hardly wake up that early. (Possibly because I'm still in college.) That car must have had some hypnotic power over you. :D

Nonetheless, Cool videos. The rotary revs sound tight.

well, it's only in km/h not mph so... not quite *as* bad as it first seemed to me... at first i saw 164 and my jaw dropped...

160 is only like 80mph.


but wtf u were holding ur camera while doing this?

well 80mph on a small side road with oncoming traffic while holding a camera and possibly shifting at the same time? either you got automatic, 3 arms, or MAAAD SKILLLZ, son! hehe...didn't mean to be a party pooper, just be careful...

yea i dont think holding a camera while driving is too smart.

holding camera, having to shift, and also having to steer, is just too much.

160 kph = 100 mph

I cant play the video. What codecs do ya guys have?

Pete, is it possible if you can post in like .avi or .mpeg format?

I figured I drop a line, being a new member.
1km = .621 mile
roughly 105mph
European driving is much more different then driving in the US. Their roads are smaller and fewer then ours here in the states. Doing a 100kph on back roads in Europe isn't as big a deal as doing 60mph here, here it treated as if your were crazy. However you must admit, driving 170kph and filming it on a back road is still crazy were ever you go. Zoom Zoom.

I just fail to see the point of the video.... you went really fast on a straight highway and took video. Neat I spose, but I can do that in my dad's Nissan Sentra.

Videos that are cool are auto-x and lapping :D Just my $.02.

Use QuickTime to view it.

I believe he is driving in Toronto, Canada. :)

Sorry for the mistake, I tend to forget that Canada uses the Metric system. Still crazy driving. To all Enjoy your RX8

I think the point is .... he just couldn't stay away from his 8.

:D

Sorry everyone.... I was out for a bit :) .


I live in Toronto btw.

I know I'm a crazy mother fucker and will never drive standerd, hold a camera and steer at the same time ever again. I realize how crazy I am sometimes after the fact. DAMN I GOT MAD SKILLS ...LOL (brx8)


The camrea wasen't a big one. It was a kodak ls420. (camera link below)

I won't push the gas like that anymore unless on the track. Hercules.... I'll see your Nissan Sentra there. :D


Jokes ....


I figure someone had to show what their 8 could do .... so .......

Hope you've enjoyed the show.... don't forget your keys and merchandise, and thank you for riding the all new RX8. Enjoy the rest of your stay at RX8Fourm.com :)


Cheers

Pete

I was pretty amazed at first... then I realized it was that crazy metric system. Still, I know that I'm probably just being an old man here, but at that time of day... I worry about deer.

Don't test the airbags! ;)
