1st bit at the bottom of my road, no more than 3k rpm
2nd bit, up and down the road near to work just to warm the engine up properly
I'm only 3 miles from work so this has to be done yes

Thanks for that. I've been looking for wedge videos for some time and
google, youtube annd streefire.net have turned up next to nothing. I had
been wondering what a wedge sounded like and now I know. Thanks again.

... The 390 sounds awsome (YOUR 390!) Just ask adam, he heard it from a motorway bridge at full chat down the off ramp.

For sure, it's a great sound. It makes a nice change hearing one from a distance.

You'd need QT installed I believe or perhaps there's a problem
with the page. I had to click the title name then on the net page
right click/save on the link that says "Watch video in External Player".

Here's a direct link the files.

Great soundtrack Wyn.

God I miss Dr Evil. Why did I ever part with her cry

I keep swearing and mentioning the word "Griff" but I think a 4.6 BV conversion may be the only way to go scratchchin

Some nice roads you got there on your way to work Wyn. All I got is 15 miles of motorway and a couple of miles of speedcamera ridden duel carridgeway.

You fancy swapping back at this years Wedgefest?

Yep, your name is on the pink slip, well, actually it is green here, but same thing. The guys came and took her away last night - it was a very sad sight watching her drive off into the distance.

where did you mount the camera, is it on a rollbar?

do you also have a directional microphone, when I mount mine on the windscreen I can hardly hear the engine when I replay it...

I used a run of the mill Sony Hi8 camcorder on my tripod. The tripod legs in the closed position stuffed down behind the passenger seat, with the seat pushed back against it, hood up, passenger window down. Just experimenting really. thumbup
