Just to mirror what everyone has said, fantastic day out. Great cars, food and company and I loved the route. As the daily driver I don't get the chance to strech my Zed legs that often and it's so much nicer just being able to follow the car in front and not think where best to go at the next turning.

Still no word from Dave? He followed us for a while when we doubled back to Crawley for a little A / B road re-route then went his own way. Maybe he's still out there :?

Got back in the end - about 7pm. You must have been shattered!

Dave, that aero spoiler looked great in the rear view mirror, very imposing... right up to the point where you decided to overtake!

Regretted it afterwards as I didn't have your 4-pipe soundtrack anymore!

Downloaded the footage from the tunnel, didn't come out very well at all... still, that noise will be with me for a while

Was looking forward to that. Cool tilt-shift shot by the way - sneak another lens on or Photoshopped?

Dave's GF must have taken lots of nice pics, although I doubt gannet and me are in hem what with ace slowing you all down

You'd hope so with the amount on the card. Unfortunately most were blurry - the rest showing off the nice new Bosche Aerotwins Joking aside there's to get some worth sharing - processing now

:evil: Ahem! Dave went the wrong way!! Then did a U-ey and didn't even wait before turning off!!

Well, I was going to let it lie but since you've brought it up - it was just payback for driving off earlier and leaving me and Matt to find the pub alone. I know you were hungry but...

Thanks. The lens is LSD money, no, this was using PS, it's a recreation but here's How To PS Tilt Shift

I was very hungry and quite dehydrated from the hot weather, being topless. You are right, I should not have left you two - I am sorry!

If anyone wants a DVD of the snaps send me a PM:







Nice sign to see








Lovely wheels...


Another nice sign to see






Every car in this photo... just








There were some very nice stretches of open road






Loved peoples reactions - some didn't have a clue and others knew well. I heard one walker-by saying "What is this" which made us both laugh, and shortly later a 3 series (I think) booted it and flashed.






Matt's back there somewhere






I'm used to flooring it and cars disappearing in the mirror - but this thing got closer








Best behind of the day flimper


Ditchling Beacon car part shortly before a hairy decent


Thanks again everyone for making the day happen

Dave, some nice photos there, think I spotted one or two with me in, nice shot of Matt going round that left hand bend.

I was trying to find somewhere to stop in front of the wind turbines for a photo op, but couldnt see anywhere.

I'm looking forward to the next one though.

Dave, some nice photos there

+1 Some great shots, but then I would say that, really regretting not getting a chance to clean the car before I left Favourites would be mine in the slow left hander and the car park shot. Impressed you managed to get a shot with all of us in... well almost all of us.

Out of interest, what do you use to put the border on the pictures? A very quick look didn't reveal anything in PS Elements.

I'm looking forward to the next one though.

Steve, hope the car is an easy fix.

 

[gannet]

yes some great shots dave

Im looking forward to the next one too

Some of my fave photos:
Steve's: 9th
Matt's: final one
Matt's matchstick one
Mark's: 3rd
Pete's: 1st, 2nd(the glints in the cars' front grills - it's like a Colgate advert (or other popular toothpaste!)
Dave's: 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th - WHAT is that chimney thing on top of that building??, 12th. From the end: 5th from the last, and 2nd from the last - 8) oh driving through those beautiful yellow fields - STUNNING.

Big round of applause for the photos taken.

Look at the tail-end of Pawnsacrifice's video. (Sounds a bit dodgy put like that).

Unfortunately the sound quality is poor... having a motorbike blatting through didn't help either

Mark's video camera battery ran out a little before we got there... I'd been saving mine especially. Am determined to find a better (less windy) mounting point.

You will just have to wait until I have joined you on the trip as well

What about the air vents at the bottom of the windscreen – can a stand that stands back from the windscreen, horizontal then 90degrees up, be fitted across the ‘slats’?

 

[flimper]

The bain of our lives :evil:

I will have some vid soon, is it ok to put on youtube with number plates visible?

 

[srhutch]

We never broke the speed limit so shouldnt be a problem :wink:

I just hope ace is behind you

I was thinking that - but I will need fabricate something - the standard bracket wont fit. Could use a screen mount, but I'd like to build a cowling around it to reduce glare :?

PVR, what's your solution? Or have you simply bought the right tool for the job.
