BTW, we did tonnes of other regular vacation stuff too. About a 50/50 mix.

Please let me know what you think... as I'm studying for final exam I have to write tomorow and am bored out of my mind

 

Wow those are some awesome pictures!! You really got to see some amazing cars. Good luck in your exam. You're writing in LA or are you back at University??

 

I am back in town, and back to the daily grind..

BTW, the guys at CEC said they are bringing the white Techart car to Calgary this weekend for the kickoff of the Bullrun. I think the kickoff would be worth checking out, if you have the weekend free (which I don't...)

 

Alrighty - I figured out what the problem was and I've now re-processed the video with the proper aspect ratio!

Looks a little better than the "stubby car" first attempt!

 

And... here's a video someone (not me) did of the Friday night Eurasia drive.

VEEERRYYY nice rides present there - CGT, Ford GT, Superleggera, Murci (AJ's), several "regular" Gallardo's, F430 and a whole mess of Porsches.

 

Thanks Nick. Both great vids. I like yours a LOT better though, it's much nicer to see the cars rolling

 

Awwww... shucks...

LOL - the next vid will be even better. We learned a lot from this outing about camera placement, movement, etc.

One thing I want to look into is some kind of external microphone to catch the sounds of the cars as they go by. Parts of the vid were done with the window down, which is fine at sub-highway speeds, so we caught some cool engine music... but once we start to open them up the wind noise was too much.

Too bad the Eurasia vid doesn't have any moving shots - that CGT sounded badass...

 

here's a vid from the cruise last year

this year looks way better

 

I think there was a better representation of hot cars this year, but it looks like they got to "play" a bit more last year. There was so much traffic along the route this year we had a hard time even getting up to the speed limit in most sections.

Thanks for digging that up though!

 

Yah, I know what you mean. I think I saw 269 at one point.

 

I was talking about the Eurasia drive being heavy traffic... not the Wetaskawin run...
