This is total BoLOCs: Captured on Video

[shangani]

Thought a memento of the BoLOCs weekend was in order. My first attempt at video editing so sorry if it is rubbish. Low sun didn't help. Thanks to Towser for the pics.

Great stuff, my poor old dial up connection is only downloading the first half then loosing the connection, can someone stick it on a disk for me.

The vids are a great reminder of a great day.

[shangani]

I will try to find a more reliable place to post the video. No good really unless the whole thing downloads. (25.1 meg)

[shangani]

OK - video submitted to pistonheads TV, but will take a few days. In the meantime I suppose it will have to be the link above.

Cheers
Andrew

Looks like you had great fun...
Nice video. Not so easy with a so low sun.
How the spin was suggested? By the wheel or throttle?

Do you have trick for the slalom?

Sorry about the sun glare - the low sun this time of year is a real pain and I don't have a filter on the camcorder.

The in-car spin footage was a case of:

turn in under power
lift-off
Opposite lock
Pedal to the metal

We were hooning around at that stage so I mashed the accelerator to floor to create a 360 degree burn-out! (Normally use about 1/4 throttle to pull out of a spin like that)

The airfield was really cold, so no tyre heat was possible and the grip levels were appalling.

As for the slalom - I don't have a trick, but lotusstuart certainly does. As his wife said: "he drives the car like he stole it!"

Very nicely done Andrew, great to see the action again and see how good/bad we all are !

Some fun memories - I'd recommend you try to get hold of a bullet cam Andrew. They really are superb, and then you can place the camera & mic out of the wind. A worthwhile investment.

Nice one Shang ... you've been getting a few tips from Spielberg I see

[shangani]

Hi all - I have had to do a few things to get it right next time:

1) Polarising filter required
2) There is a gadget that covers the mike and cuts out the wind noise

Sorry about the quality - I am a real beginner.

Anyway, great to see you all. Enjoy the cold - I am in sunny Cape Town!

Shang, the windnoise thingie is a Rycote a Gustbuster :up
