Mac#1 "Phoenix Blat" and Open Day
DarrenW - 17/9/06 at 09:06 PM

Id just like to say a big Thankyou to all who helped to make the Open Day so great. I havent had such a good petrol head day for a while.

Just managed to download the video and overlay the Mac#1 Fire Compilation tracks over it (believe me that is a big achievement for me!!).
If anyone wants a copy just let me know. Id appreciate it if i can just send a few out that can then be copied and distributed further. Please dont show the bit where i may have jumped a red light to the boys in blue!!!!!


Im still buzzing from the day. And also getting the new wheels on.


Darren.

yes please love to see it


DarrenW - 17/9/06 at 10:18 PM

Marks already put your order in Jos. Just need your address.

Managed to save a copy to a CD but have no idea how to make it playable on a DVD player! I can only play it on PC.

Dont hold your breath about the quality!! It is 1 hour of a Sunday drive out - not exactly a Spielberg Classic. The music is good though. Im crap with computers and Royal Mail so ill have to make a special effort to get some posted out!!!

Hi Darren

I would not mind a copy, if u like i will copy it to DVD (playable on the normal household type) and leave a few copies with Mark and Col since i only live around the corner and people can take them when they pop in.

Ash


DarrenW - 17/9/06 at 10:28 PM

Sounds great Ash.

You may need to tellme how to do the master copy so it can be saved in home DVD format!!! As i say im a numpty when it comes to puters but willing to learn!

My email is dwake@wanxiang.co.uk if you would like to send me instructions and address.

Cheers

hi
any chance of a copy?
cheers paul


bigrich - 18/9/06 at 07:17 AM

put me down for a copy darren . the new wheels are a big improvement and suit the car much better. as you said a good day, plenty of chat, being fed for free and a drive out can't be bad can it.

cheers for all the attendee's who made it a great day especially mr sunshine who stayed all day.


fesycresy - 18/9/06 at 08:25 AM

I'll have one too please.

Day sounded good, how life up north ??

Darren

Put me down for a copy please. I will U2U my address. I had a great day, it was good to meet all the people at last.

I got home at 23:45, after a 6.5 hr drive.

Keith.

I have some of the copies ready. Im travelling next couple of days so will hopefully drop off copies for Mark/Col, Bigrich and Ash at Mac#1 on Thursday unless anything happens.

Ive re-editted the DVD and managed to convert it so it will play on most home DVD players.

Ill try and do post copies asap. Unfortunately it is too large to save on a CD so i may have to buy some discs before i can complete them all (i live out in the sticks so may be short delay until i can get into the town).,

Cheers,
Darren.

Darren,
Darren ( Red ZR ) says any chance he could have one please ? I am sending this as he has PC probs.
Cheers


DarrenW - 21/9/06 at 10:14 PM

I most certainly can but i will need names and addresses of anyone who wants one. Ive got quite a list now so might have to ask if anyone can copy some up and pass around their local area.


bigrich - 21/9/06 at 10:32 PM

i have watched mine a couple of times now and can't believe how the tunes change the mood of the video. i think kieth flint made me speed down the bypass. prodigy tracks are my personal faves, twisted fire(blade) starter


DarrenW - 22/9/06 at 09:00 AM

The Boys are back in town just as we drove into Handsworth was a nice touch - even if i do say so myself. Oh - and return of the Mac as we pull into the industrial estate Prodigy did seem to start it all off a on a nice tone, with The Ring Of Fire in the middle for that surreal Condor moment.

Did you like the traffic lights bit????? I mean the ones i stopped at!


bigrich - 23/9/06 at 11:25 AM

i bet they were all planed stops so you could perfect your 0-60 starts


DarrenW - 24/11/06 at 11:39 AM

I dont know how to say this

I owe a few copies of the DVD out, for which i apologise. Reason for the delay is that i have lost my only copy of the DVD!!!!!!!!!!

Some did get a copy - any chance you can copy some up and either forward to Mac#1 or out to others please.

Oh - can i have a copy as well?????


Cheers,
Darren.

If there is a spare copy going around, I would very much like one. Mark and Colin have my address.

Thanks
