Cool

After a succesful "spirited" drive out on Wednesday night, I thought we should arrange another get together (read: night off from Mrs, Kids, Bills etc). I'm not trying to steal Chris'(CW42) captains chair but the other thread was very long and was maybe putting some off (idle bugg@rs!). The last drive was a cracking one and the more cars go, the better it'll be. Video footage and expert editing courtesy of CW42!

I think a Wednesday night would be good again but please feel free to post suggestions!

Who's game?????????

p.s. Supertouring in front this time!!

ok, here is the meeting place,
otterspool

if you zoom out from the map, you can see a pub just before the road goes over the river in an s bend. that is called the "hare and hounds". it has a sizable car park, and is quite nice inside. The most important bit though is the proximity to some of the nicest roads in the peak district, and some local roads too.
see you wednesday the 14th may at the hare and hounds, otterspool, marple, stockport at 19:30.

chris.
ps, I cut and paste this post from my original one, but why not, it was a good place to meet I thought!
Nice of you to let me do all the hard work on the pc eh! hehe. See you wednesday, or sooner if I can get this bloody pc to add music to the vid properly, arrg!

Right, edited the footage. It is 30 mins long, with a mix of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and the Foo Fighters on, which seems to have worked. I will transfer it to VHS tomorrow, and make a shorter version for my website so everyone can have a look.
That camera mount is awesome, and on monday, I think I will have a go at some external shots!
See you soon,
chris.

Right, lets see if this works, cat & fiddle run
that is a direct link to my bt website, with a 7 minute section of film taken last wednesday night. The full video is 30 mins long, and would take up way too much bandwidth on my site.
It should only take you about 5 mins to download if you have broadband, (a couple of days on dialup?)
This section of film is from right at the bottom of the cat & fiddle road, just before the right turn up Buxton Old Road, all the way to the pub at the top, where we had to stop because I was bursting for a pee by then!
I have studied it carefully, and you can't make out any numberplates, so we should be ok.
The cars in front of me are scoobygav555 and madscientist.
chris.
p.s. The bleeping along the way is my ROAD ANGEL warning me of accident blackspots, fortunatly no gatso's up there yet!

Hey the vid's cool! Nice one.

I'll be pushed to make 7:30, but if you guys are going "over the top" again via Macc, I could be, say, on McD's carpark in Macc around 8 and meet you en-route?

Let me know if that is OK and i'll be there :-)

Looking forward to meeting you guys, never been on a meet before.

Cheers,

Steel
