Haha, the password means everyone's panicking with excitement, but I've dished out the password to all who emailed now (no police-pretending-to-be-pistonheaders yet).

I agree the passwording is probably a good idea though.

I am sure there is nothing law breaking on the video, but I must add that I had lent my Aston to a friend of a freind's freind, and I dont know their address....officer!

I think technology's wonderful these days - those videos have been speeded up by 50% like some of the sequences in Smokey and the Bandit, but they still look smooth...

That's a relief, otherwise if I'd gone I don't think I'd have been able to keep up!

If I can make the next one I might try to get my boss out in his DB7 too

Shame we lost the leading group seemed to have a Sunday driver in a TT as we left the meeting point but fortunately he pulled over so we could push on ho hum.

If that was a silver TT, the pace was just perfect for my old gal, especially after the brakes started smelling really bad and stopping distance doubled (as jimmyb no doubt saw when I nearly scooped up his little mini at an unexpected junction!). It's amazing how drum brakes and a 35 year old chassis can make 60mph feel like 90!

Definitely. That thing looked HUGE in my rearview mirror thought i was baout to get eaten. Poor little mini nearly pooped itself.

Well put together video...A joy to watch, so badly wish i went along now!

The 4th segment was superb! Especially the part where everyone is passed! The music during that last one was also so fitting, specifically the first song. Sounded like stereophonics, who was it?

The Aston & the RS6 though, god what awesome noises. Speechless.

Any ideas on the 1st track in the 4th segment? I fancy using it for my commute in the morning!

Btw Ikemi, what car was the filming being done on?

[Robatr0n]

It was a Porsche 996 Turbo...the common seal grey one!

Amazingly, i was right in my thinking it was Stereophonics. Fortunately went along with my hunch & ended up having an awesome drive along the twisties in my commute to "Crush"

I've seen identti's 4 video clips but i recall 2 more during the run where someone was filming a group driving past (i think one of them was a viper driver) and i'd love to see those video's as well as i'm acutally in them.

Any news on getting them online ?

Thanks for sharing Zed. Hats off to you guys for piloting those big beasts down the lanes!

[ironictwist]

Huge thanks Zed, can't wait to watch em all. By the way, is there sound available in these clips? Dont seem to hear any :\

[Medic-one]

Excellent video's mate!

I like the part where you film the cars driving by and then join the group again behind me (in the red GTO).

For a second it looked like one of those police program's where you see a car driving past an unmarked police car and then it gives chase

[Medic-one]

Hehehe, like the joke in the first clip, had to use the video editor to pause that quick frame

[fatboy18]

Argh! Spotted where I went wrong completely missed the second turning after newlands cnr

Is that the one which is taken from outside the vehicle ?

Can recall someone standing next to his vehicle when my group just came around a bend.

thanks chaps! spent too much time videoing...5 mins of silence after seeing this lot pass made me think i'd just watched the last in the convoy pass..doh! with a road map, a vague recollection of the towns on the route and a nose for PHey roads i made it.
