270108 Hampshire Hoon PICTURE THREAD

[Robatr0n]

I'd be lying if I said this thread didn't kill my laptop!

I had yet another superb hoon today so thank you Nathan!

I think what makes these meets so amazing are the well planned routes closely followed by the people who attend (not to mention the cars....except for the X5! ).

It dawned on me on the way home just how old my wagon is, 17 years old and still going strong although I think I could shed abit of weight if I throw out the contents of my boot, eh Nathan?

I don't think my new tyres are as grippy around the corners either!

Looks like everyone had a fantastic time.

Hmm may get a car and sign up for the next one...

Hi Everyone, thanks for coming along and meeting everyone! Great photo's

What's happening next....???

[Robatr0n]

You tell us..!

I would love to organise a hoon but it would be pretty boring stuck in traffic up the A4/A312/A316/M3/M4 as I'm sure Pete will vouch for.

My first poor attempt at video editing (and hosting!)... HERE!

Will edit this down and add some more cuts in from other bits taken on the day; when I have 3 weeks spare to work out the software!

ETA - you'll need to have an appreciation of the finer works of Led Zeppelin too...

Good work John!

I like the fact that the video has been heavily edited by speeding it up so much.

Oh yes, absolutely - at some points we were carrying about 50 leptons; so I had to x3 the video speed to make it look better...

[Revs_Addiction]

oh i can't see the video.. It just takes me to a myspace video homepage... can anybody give me any tips? cheers

[R1_JON]

I can't see it either. Need to add JohnR as a friend I think...

Hi John R

This facebook stuff is tricky.. how about loading the video a easier to use platform. I use http://www.mediafire.com/ which i can use even though I'm an IT idiot

[AngryS3Owner]

I watched the video earlier, works great

Still can't believe I missed it

Problem with dumping it somewhere else like Youtube or mediafire is that it's then viewable by the 'public'... By using facebook it is limited to members who I give permission to view - anyone else won't even know it's there as it's not even publicly listed.

Even James (Diz) is using facebook now; presumably for the same reasons.

Think it's as much to do with the camera as well...

I'm just uploading a video I made when testing the camera at night - quality is really good, even with only the headlights!
