Feb 8th Santa Cruz twisties videos

[ValveTubeHead]

Hey Gang!

Here's a few clips of "the loop" we've all become addicted to; shot a couple weeks back by stevessaddlegrl from 351c.i.d's wicked 'zure. I'd say these show about 1% of the ride :THUMBSUP:

Twistheads: My footage of today's haul is not too pretty, and lacks much of any sound. :( ...but is comprehensive. I'll nail down this technology for more exciting views and sound...just need to experiment a bit. I'll try to post some clips of what I have in couple days.

[351c.i.d]

Thanks for posting those Matt!!
For everyone else, this route is KICK @ss. You can't beat the area for lack of traffic and cops! The scenery is beautiful and the group of guys crusing are great people!

The next clinic is March 21, if you're interested PM tach 9 and he'll give you the info.

Very cool footage.

Shakura- I didn't know you said such things!

Sorry I bailed early yesterday. I've been fighting alergies the last few weeks and they finally won. Haven't slept too much lately.

Anyway, I'm up for another run whenever you all are.

Tim

Hey Tim, yeah interesting "sound track" huh..LOL..!!! It was a lot of fun yesterday...sorry your allergies got the best of you..mine have been acting up badly too..Hope you called your Doc to gets some meds..ask him for some Zyrtek..great stuff..non-drowsey etc...works on indoor and outdoor allergens..

Like 351 c.i.d. says, the next "official" Driving Clinic is on March 21rst....don't miss that one if at all possible..it's going to be one of my favorite clinics!!! I am talking about tires in this one, and you won't want to miss it!!!

You set up the time and of course I'll be there..only March 6th is out...all other dates work for me!!! 351 c.i.d. is gone for a bit of a different cruise..but hopefully will be back safe and sound soon!!!

BTW..maybe Peggy would be interested? Desiree is interested in driving her Mazda P5 automatic on the Loop with us..so hey..that's at least 2 women than want to drive...:ANGEL:

I'm also going to be having an all women Driving Clinic soon !!!!

LOL...!!! No worries...It was entertaining getting such "vivid" commentaries :ANGEL: We're going on the loop again tomorrow morning...come on down!!! The gangs all going to be there!!! I think Tim's wife is driving her new GT..so the more the merrier!!! It won't be the same without my Cohort in crime Steve..but we'll do a couple of slides in his honor!!!

I dropped the clips to make room for new one(s). I'll see about getting additional space from my web hosting service...I think its real cheap...so maybe I can get a bunch of stuff up.

While not directly Mach related, it is directly "twisty" related...oh, and has our favorite Miata in many of its frames.

OK...who's bandwidth impaired? Sorry, but this is 54 Megabytes of video.

valvetubehead...that was kewl!!! Can't wait for the roads to be completely dry next time!!! You were going great!!!

[machwal]

That was just downright fun. I watched each one. Now I'm really jonesing.
This Sunday if nice?

BTW - How fast did she say you were going - Ahh, that's what I thought she said.

One of my fancy computer gauges reads: FF when all is in order. The manual gives no indication why they picked those letters, my guru buds and I HAD no clue.

Clearly, stevessaddlegrl has nailed it down for us!

Fu(king fast it is!
Thanks!
:LAUGH:

[stevessaddlegrl]

awwww...come on. you don't have a boyfriend who drives like a nut. it was....fast. lol. but if you notice and i'm not sure if these videos were posted or not, the ones that are silent are so boring! lol. i think the screaming (and stuff) adds to the videos.

so yeah....it was FF. hehehe. at least that's what my gauges read. :D

[machwal]

Absolutely. The narrative was great.
And I swear like a sailor, btw.

My wife's fav line when riding shotgun in the mach is, "You *********, oh you *********!"

None of the links work for me... anyone know any reason why that would happen?

[stevessaddlegrl]

VTH might have taken them down from his site. You might want to PM him and ask. :ANGEL: Besides, do you really want to hear me yelling and stuff? LOL...you'll see.

04Azure,
sorry...I only have about 60megabytes playroom on my host server partition. I change whats hosted ever so often depending on relevance to a particular thread either here or at the org

Currently this video (http://www.valvetubehead.com/images/refimages/stage.MPG) is being hosted. Got broadband?
63 MB of loop thrills (6minutes of VCD quality video)
