Staples2Naples video.
« on: 04 November 2006, 10:41:43 »
Sorry to harp on about it, but here's a little video I nailed together of the trip.

I apologise for the more ropey bits as it's my first attempt at such a thing.

It's about 8 minutes long, so stick with it as there's some fun bit's involving water pistols towards the end.

Enjoy!!

I can't take the hit on that one, my mate was driving!!

And besides, the Senny has two more cylinders and about 50 more BHP, (But four less valves ironically!!), so I ain't grumblin'.

However, the BatmoBile made it all the way back to Blighty having accomplished a 10:42 round the 'Ring then was unceremoniously thrashed around Knockhill and is still going strong.  8-)

The Speeedfreaks Senator is languishing in a Scrapyard somewhere in middle Italy!!  :-/

'Ave it!!  ;)

Sadly no mate! I gave it away to a coupl'a guys from Edinburgh in return for running my tools 'n' shit home. I think they're intent on using it for a run next year tho', providing they don't send a piston into orbit beforehand that is!!

Thanks for the feedback guys!!

I have to say, that weekend is emblazoned on my memory for eternity. To say it was fun is a gigantic understatement.

If you like cars, beer and a little bit of adventure, get yourself on one of these things. You'll never regret it!!
