davey l wrx Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Looks like it was a good weekend, weather looks like it held off as well. Nice to see Rich has got the Scooby back on the road and a good mix of models on the run. Hopefully i'll make it for the next one.

micra_wrc Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Grant had decided to film the weekend and we started on Saturday morning with 4 cameras, 3 mounts, numerous tie clips and sticky pads. He changed locations of the cameras at every stop, some of the placements of cameras were ingenious! but, this was the view I had for one of the stages We transferred the raw footage after Day 1 and I must say the films are amazing. There was a slight mishap near the end of Day 2 when the super-strong mount fell off after both n/s tyres hit a rut. This was how it looked before it fell... this was me checking after hitting the rut, we were still moving at the time... I couldn't lean out the window because of the harnesses so had to stick my hand out and take a picture we managed to find the camera and mount on the verge. The camera was damaged but memory card seemed intact, so hopefully we've not lost the recordings from today. imy
RA Dunk Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 He changed locations of the cameras at every stop, some of the placements of cameras were ingenious! but, this was the view I had for one of the stages lol how thoughtfull of him Gutted I missed this 'again', but hardly worth turning up in a 1.2 clio
micra_wrc Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 there happened to be "Historic Commercial Vehicle Road Run" from Inverness to Ullapool at the same time as us, Didn't see them on the road but they were parked up at Ullapool pier when we took a walk down. this is the only car that I took a picture of, I like it and this is the queue for lunch today, the blue jacket brigade
thefastone Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Awesome weekend, I ended up staying on Till late in Inverness, and finally got home and into bed at 4am!!!! This weekend is one that I don't think you'll out-do, but I'm willing to be proven wrong on that one... Here my photos, not many but also not as bad as I thought that some of them were... Dale's Highland Fling photos
tommo9375 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 Some cracking pics there Dale,nice to meet you at the weekend.
thefastone Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Thanks Tommo! Good to meet you too! hopefully catch you again at some meets in the near future!

BalliSTIc Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 aye there were a couple of deer under the trees there.I should have taken my time to get the shot, perhaps you guys would have caught up if I had Nah! Got stuck behind a catalunya... NO idea whose it was *lol* Wasn't for want of trying... brakes failed on the way down we were pushing on so hard!

thefastone Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Been looking for Grant's Footage of the weekend all day, but nothing has come up yet?
micra_wrc Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 patience my son, he' working on it you're antsy cos you know you were in front of us and will be on the footage Its proving a tad difficult uploading a 30 minute 5GB clip, he's had to split it into 3 mini clips and do them individually.
thefastone Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Fair one, I knew that he was complaining about them taking a lot of time to upload, I thought that it would be up already... Firgured that there may have been a problem with it... Oh, and yer damn tooting... I'm almost worried about it... Edited May 4, 2010 by thefastone
scooby222 Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 see im being nice and patient - mind you i know your fat ass was blocking me most of the way
gus the bus Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Some cracking pics peeps . Took the very same route 5 years ago (in June) when I first bought my 300. After 4 days it was back in for its 1000mile service Anyhoo, look forward to next years event which WILL be after the last game of the season eh Dave (HINT HINT!!!!!)
the squiggle Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Fair one, I knew that he was complaining about them taking a lot of time to upload, I thought that it would be up already... Firgured that there may have been a problem with it...Oh, and yer damn tooting... I'm almost worried about it... Original file was 5gb in 720HD. Google video stopped uploads last year so i had to look for plan B Have resorted to splitting it into 3 parts and putting it on Tubeface, last part uploading as i type. All being well we should have the full run from Lochcarron to the summit in a few hrs. Part 1 is on Youbook just now but not public and sadly they have butchered the quality Think i have enough raw audio and matching footage for another 2 "episodes" at 20 min roughly each. Day 2 leaving Ullapool and the run after the photostop, so all being well i hope to have these up within the week if not then early next. Eventually will have all in 1 hr long video in super HD with fannytastic sound I have a donkey to visit this weekend so bear with me EEEEE OOOOOOO
scooby222 Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 glad to hear youve got your priorities right signor - molly needs you! though i think i feel a club outing to meet her and lorna's kuni kuni pig,jasper..... did the memory card survive the camera's violent demise and if so did you get the culprit that squished it? might be worth a look at your household insurance for a creative claim HEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAW!
micra_wrc Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Grant's videos have been uploaded... the giggling is me, the creaking is the Banana's roll cage and the soundtrack is his exhaust Click for CLIP 2 - 4 min 30 an uninterrupted pass through Applecross imy
