Hey Rehaan that video was just awesome. It helps a lot when you have music changing according to the mood.

How about some more vids with some nice numbers.

We reach the twisties at about 8am and wait for adya to join us in his black Accord 2.4.

going by last meets experience i wasn't expecting you guys to come that early
thankfully we don't have "last coming pays for fuel" rule

I almost rear-end adya when he appears to miss a shift and almost stall’s it in the middle of one of those tight hairpins.

thank god for Octy's brakes

normally_crazy · 11th July 2005, 18:11

just seen rehaan's video of the white stall(i)one

rtech maan - what was dat ??

if i say that octy was flying - it would be an understatement !!!

the reason i didint say much at that point , Rtech, was because i wanted to get back and have a go in my car and then FEEL the difference - the difference is actually more than i thought after my short TD of your car !!

i gotta save some green bucks now !!

and yeah have given a cd of the vids i took (almost lost my cellfone) to satya ! where are the vids satya ???

cheers

before i forget - nice pics guys and a great video, rehaan !

Rehan

The Ford Icon video is good. But there is some disturbance in the audio.

Did you use Windows movie maker to edit the videos? I am also in to movie editing stuff.

Rehaan · 11th July 2005, 19:40

Hi Satish,

Well, the cam was out of the sunroof and there was a bit of wind noise even though we were going rather slow (this is what you are saying is the disturbance).
I used adobe premiere for the vids....try and get your hands on it...its fun.
I put on a high pass and low pass filter to get rid of most of the wind noise. Also ran a selective colour filter so that the sky is blueish and the rest of the stuff is B&W... was just playing around.
