Can you find the Forth Rail Bridge? The Hawes Inn is beneath the bridge on the South Queensferry side of the river

M 8LUR might not be there.. but I will be... have just been advised another 3 weeks to wait for Zeemax body kit.

Besides if weather proves pants she wouldn't be coming out anyway.

I have been down to the Hawes Inn to confirm the booking for the AGM.

Unfortunately, the Meeting Room is in use during the day and may not be cleared by the time we want it. I will go down early and check its availability.

The arrangements I have made are :-

• AGM - start 6:00 pm in the Green Section (maybe move to Meeting Room)
• Meal - from 7:00 pm onwards in the Green Section  

Hope to see you there

Neil

cool well can we either convoy down together or car share. 

then again if I car shared I would have to come back up the road well past my bed time.  02:30 is far too late for me.

If anybody else is going and coming back up at a decent time then we could share?

I would imagine we could leave around 10pm

I may be going down early to take some motion pics

Could of done with your camcorder

camcorders borked after my dad dropped it and smashed the lens....

still got my webcam though for a bit of in-car footage if you want to borrow it with my laptop?

coupe king wrote: I have a camcorder, unfortunately it aint digital, might be good for a laugh anyway!

Nice one

There is a cheap samsung digi camcorder in makro for £199+vat

did think about buying it

stephenperry wrote: camcorders borked after my dad dropped it and smashed the lens.... still got my webcam though for a bit of in-car footage if you want to borrow it with my laptop?

heres the kind of quality it produces, its got a microphone inside it too

and heres a very small (compressed - lower quality, no sound) video of me giving a sales rep in a vectra a taste of his own medicine , its under 4mb... (right click, save target as...)

http://stephenperry.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/overtake1.avi - http://stephenperry.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/overtake1.a vi

stephen, need sound!  do you have the oem exhaust on your car?

I bought a new digital camera that take wee vids "with sound" ace.

yeah, standard exhaust system,no engine mods apart from k&n panel filter

the full version of the video has sound, it lasts about 30 mins (door to door along the a98/a96 from work to home)

stephenperry wrote: yeah, standard exhaust system,no engine mods apart from k&n panel filter the full version of the video has sound, it lasts about 30 mins (door to door along the a98/a96 from work to home)

cool is it hosted anywhere?

no, its 380mb

it was just a dry run to see if the idea was sound, problem is that "logitech studio", the software supplied with the webcam doesnt seem to export standard avi movie files - when i import them into pinnacle studio (my video editing stuff) its all jerky and horrible, so i cant edit it down or resave it into a more compressed format....

I can put it onto a cd if youre really desperate to see it like lol, that overtake was one of the best bits, the other was when i overtook the lorry you see in front of me later on, but the camera slid off the dash   worth it for comedy value alone

next attempt is clearing some of the junk off my laptop, installing pinnacle on there, and recording directly from the cam, i can do all the titles and music, special fx on my desktop

im after an effect like this...

http://www.aqualifeleasing.co.uk/images/CheddarBB.mpg - http://www.aqualifeleasing.co.uk/images/CheddarBB.mpg

i need another webcam though, ive already got two laptops! , the plan is to make something like http://www.getawayinstockholm.com - www.getawayinstockholm.com (adhering to the local laws of course ;) ) and have a bumper cam - i figured webcams would be ideal for this purpose, one at the front and one at the back, usb extension leads would be routed and come in through the windows and into the laptops, one on the passenger floor and one on the back seat floor

what do you think?

i know this is well off topic, feel free to move my post

Here is a link to a camera mount

http://www.carbonos.com/cars/modifications/camera_mount/index.htm - http://www.carbonos.com/cars/modifications/camera_mount/inde x.htm

any ideas for tape or something that would secure the camera to the bodywork to stop it flying off but wont damage the finish?

thanks for the camera mount page pete, ill try and get one made

sounds cool.  I'm not needing a copy that desparately.  But be very careful if recording a good thrash as you could get into some bother with the filth!  remember the guy who taped himself doing 200mph in the F50?

coupe king wrote: F40....

obviously a man in the know.  I stand correct!

yeah first time i saw it was on those "police stop" videos, 2 i think it was

the lower you mount the camera to the ground, the quicker the footage will seem, hence me wanting to stick it on the bumper somehow

does anyone remember this story in m** p***r magazine, back when it was readable and not all t&a!

http://www.exvitermini.com/movies/nagsupuk.mpg - http://www.exvitermini.com/movies/nagsupuk.mpg

a tuner from japan took his 1000bhp toyota supra and took it down the a1 motorway at night, got nicked....but....

only got a fine and a 20 day ban from driving on british roads

same nutter (mr nagata from Top Secret tuning co.), different car, a 1000 bhp skyline this time, through a tunnel, in japan...

I will be going a bit early tho' as the committee are having a bit of a banter ahead of the meeting. You could chunter to the Northerners tho' as I think a couple of them are coming down early with Pete in convoy.

Sounds like a good idea with my directional sense. How early is a bit early???
