Been lurking for a while and thought i might as well make a post or two s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Thought that you might be interested in a few videos myself and a few friends took whilst out in europe last year!

See them here - m http://www.powerandtorque.co.uk/meets/e ... 03/videos/ m

The BEST video out of all of them is the one entitled "Simon's run down the mountain driving Anthony's MR2" - Mainly because it is just one of the best videos on the planet ever! s:D

s:D

Enjoy!

Cheers
Simon

It is the Divx codec http://www.divx.com although one of the avi's I can't get to play.

I got the run down the hill working... shows it's one thing catching, and another passing.

I think they were DivX 5.05 IIRC.

You're not wrong, i was alright once i got past the other cars but the road was too twisty and the car doesn't quite have the power to do a full overtake on those roads without assistance! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

It does go sideways easy enough tho s8)

Victor - I saw the vid from last years stelvio meet, what was up with the guys driving going up the hill, had everyone planned to let him film going up or was he just driving like a man possesed?

A bit of both. The driver was the organiser, and he had to get to the top 1st. One guy had his car impounded in France, another fined about ukp700 in Switzerland s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
