Title: 3ma. What's it like?
Post by: Thotos on December 24, 2008, 12:49:38 PM
It's Christmas eve and I am at work (run out of holidays) and don't feel like working so I decided to have a play with my computer and some video files that Rene made while a passenger in my car during 3ma08. People who haven't attended either of the two 3ma meetings often ask "what's it like?". It's difficult to explain the strange feeling of pleasure and "belonging" that one gets while in the company of so many other like minded individuals with an inexplicable affection for Fiat's boxy 131 but one of the easier to explain highlights of the 3ma meetings is all the driving! Here's a short film that might explain what I am trying to say (it's my first 'film' and first ever posting on YouTube so be kind with your comments please)! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GlcbqkblnI0. Turn up your PC sound as the twin Webber 45 soundtrack is music to the ears! (well it is to my ears anyway...? ;D)

Congratulations on joining the utubers Theo!

Nice bit of film and it certainly does capture the spirit of 3MA.? ;)

The best bit is certainly the sound and the torqueyness of the engine.

How did Rene manage to keep the camera so steady with that sporting suspension set up of yours..?

I was out this morning looking at new software for movie and photo editing for just this purpose - Any suggestions from anyone on a product that is simple and effective to use...? :)
