Glad you like the video.

In terms of copies, you have a choice.

Register on Vimeo (hardly any info required and you can delete your account too if you want to) and it will allow you to download the file I uploaded, which is a 246MB quicktime file.

The quicktime file was created for upload from an original 1.8GB DV codec file. (PAL widescreen).

The completely unedited DV codec file is about 4.5GB but is raw from the camcorder and does have on a lot of dross.

So either download the file or I can burn either of the other 2 files to a DATA DVD and post it.

Kiwi & Paul, I can bring to Haigh Hall if you're coming. Puppy, PM address if you want DVD copy.

Hi Gav,

I will be coming to Haigh Hall, but it looks like not in the "S" as it is going back to the repairer on Wednesday, to fix all the mistakes, and get the paint work matched up.

Cheers
Kiwi

How much experience of drifting the car have you people had previously; Kiwi/Puppy/S2k_Nut? I ask because I noticed that you were performing really well after only a short time;
This was my first ever attempt at drifting in any car, let alone my S. Col and Dan were far more accomplished than I at the end of the day, but I had some moments where I got it right, and that was very rewarding.

It was interesting when the instructor was talking to me sat in someone else's (stock) S that he felt the best S's to drift were those with a big exhaust or a CAI (as in mine) - the throttle response is so important to be able to drift the S properly I guess.

It was a great fun day and I am glad I attended, I would be up for another without question.

Gav great vid clip thanks for posting and taking it too,

I have 8 minutes of video highlights. Most was taken before lunch so people still 'learning', did get a few more minutes at about 3:30 though too.
