I can see the vid with the turbo car, but no sound........as you stated.

The other vid i have sound but no picture. It opened in windoze meda player and just plays that "ambience" crap. I thinl it is something wrong on my end...............any ideas?

You need a divx codec, just go to:
http://www.divx.com/divx and get only the codec.

These are also hosted at rennlist, a place with a slower download speed than otherwise thought possible... Anyway, let me know what you think when you see it.

nice. lotsa body lean...did you adjust the koni's to the soft setting?

1.2gees · 1.2gees's Garage

Blackfoot, I assume you're talking about the turbo. The shocks were on full soft, with the front sway bar off

Carter, I'm thinking you're complimenting the turbo as well. Thanks, I looked for it for a while and found it almost 1000miles from home...

A preview of other videos I have, still experimenting...
Same lot, different car, different driver...

Close?

Different lot, me behind the wheel

Me again (you get a somewhat aerial shot of my arms in this part of the video, pretty cool stuff...

Blackfoot?

oops, yeah i guess i do!

I recently rebuilt my PC and have not gotten it fully set back up yet =))

Yes, i was talking 'bout the turbo

Ahmet, is that what they mean by "drive it like you stole it"?

Hahaha

I think that WAS the name of that event, good memory!

ahmet,
I cringe when I see you do that stuff in the parking lot. Don't think I'm a wimp, but I used to do that stuff too(and I'm saying this and I'm 18). But, everyone makes mistakes and rainy weather sucks for these cars(or atleast mine when I lost her on one about a month ago). Save that stuff for the auto-x, or when it really counts when your racing people like me!

It doesn't appear that he is endangering anyone in the video, and you know what they say.........practice makes perfect =))

I believe that Ahmet may be one of those lucky few that actually have talent for driving. For some it just comes easier than others.

I wish that i had become more interested in motorsport at an earlier age.

Wannaberacer, I love sliding cars around rain or no rain. Slickier the road more time you have, everything happens smoother I feel like. A friend of mine who's a descent auto-xer spun my old 944 3 times in one auto-x, and he thinks the car is very unforgiving. I guess I'm used to it. Don't you worry about me doing this stuff in parking lots though, I don't think it'd get safer than that for me, and the car.

Carter, I really appreciate your compliments. Hopefully I'll see just how I stack up when I start club racing but oh the funds are so limited... I love road racing, but I like d*cking around quite a bit as well, too bad you can't do this sort of thing officially...
