hi guys. hope most of you have recovered from the Nats.
I'm still tired from flu.. eech..

i didn't take that many pics during the wknd, so I thought i post up a little video clip

hope you guys can download the video.. I don't know what my traffic quota is.

here's some pics of my 8 over the wknd.

 

Nice vid, but whats that music about?!

 

The music drowned out the cars and you didn't get close ups of the supercharger... boooooo....

But it was cool seeing all the 8's... :D

 

Great work, playa....what was the music? I liked it...and the issue about not having music is that when you edit, you end up with random sound as well as video....the music provides continuity

 

Good one

 

i kind of like the music. classical and jazz together never sounded so good =)

 

thanx guys and girl
the section with supercharger, they already finished the hooning and i just started taking it when they shut it off.. so not much interesting sound there.. the background sound is really dodgy because it's not a proper video cam but taken with my old digital camera.. i have the video done without the music but thought it's really dodgy.. i thought having music in the background would make the transition between short cuts more continuous and cover up some of crappy sound from the camera :D
the music is chopin redone by some jazz band. i don't have a name of the band but i didn't wanted to go down the heavy metal or techno paths..

 

thanx Kalli, i was hoping somebody would say that hahha.
i didn't have a good quality video, so the pic quality wasn't that good.

 

in the beginning of the video there was a blue 8 on the right side. do you have pictures of that car? full mazdaspeed kit and some kind of bronze wheels???

 

Yep, it's a full MazdaSpeed kit and the wheels are stock wheels sprayed black (or something similar). There's more shots of it somewhere - I've lost track of all the Nats photo threads.

 

Great work Playa - glad someone took some comprehensive video that captured the essence of the drive down and the track day. I even liked the music.

Especially liked the speedo shot, which showed what good boys we were on the cruise down (well, mostly good - had to rein Hymee and sco in at one stage when they decided 130km/h plus was a good idea on the blue infested Hume). Having said that, saw not one copper on the way down.

BTW - some great driving on the cruise back. Stretched our legs a few times and had some fun.

 

good work SH!

 

Excellent vid!

 

I don't recall getting anywhere near that on the Hume.... have a perfect driving record and there was no way I was going to jeopardise that on the Hume. Though some ****** in a Jeep did his best to give me a hard time when I bailed into the left lane as any good driver should do when not overtaking and unintentionally prevented him shooting up the left lane past traffic moving at the speed limit.

Finally now I'm back on broadband could look at the movie... thanks playa78. Note to self, if we have one at Wakefield again must enjoy the view of the final corner before the straight from the villas.

Many people probably don't know but it was playa78 that donated the model that was a prize at Sunday night dinner... good on you

 

hehe, I remember that tool in the Jeep. What can you expect from a genitally challenged Jeep owner.

 

Don't forget the demon VW Kombi driver...
