Louispup,

No worries on the pile up. . . . it made the night all the more memorable and fun. I never did get to drive that little green one, but will next time!

Chris, thanks for coming out and playing with us. I love the article and the photos are great! I am only sorry that I realized that we didn't even give you a ride much less a test drive. We will do that next time!

I saw everyone's mini's at the go kart place in Trussville, but I was with a group and couldn't come over to admire everyone's car. Plus, I guess everyone was riding their go karts because no one was around. I unfortunately didn't get to drive my car there bc I couldn't fit 7 people in it...comfortably. Anyways, I hope to make it to one of these meets sometime in the near future. By the way does anyone have the one-ball exhaust? I've been thinking about doing that. Cars looked great by the way!

I dunno what browser you use but if it is Firefox it will need a plugin to view quicktime movies, of course it will alert you to download the plugin the first time you try to view one

Got the video! I copied the URL and pasted it into Quick Time. Y'all look good!

Brad wants to know how you are able to take a vid and create the link like that. We aren't so tech-savvy!

louis must have his own storage space or somethin. He is fancy schmancy & will have to tell you his secrets but I can tell you how to load a video to youtube.

Basically any video you have on your computer (provided it is in the right format, like .avi, etc, check the youtube site for acceptable file types) can be uploaded to youtube. You just create a free youtube account, go there & click the upload video button, then through youtube you browse your computer, select the video you want to upload from your hard drive, wait for it to upload (can take 1-10 minutes depending on file size) & POOF your video is posted & you can use that link to share it anywhere on the web

Angie shot it on the digital; it opened on the mac as a quick time file in iphoto, which I copy/pasted into imovie, then exported and uploaded using Fetch. Part of the Mindspring account gives me a place to store files; for up to seven addresses actually.

Thanks for the Tube-torial, Teresa. I could post my videos on YouTube I suppose, but then everybody would criticize them. And honestly, I'd rather be selective about who is granted that right.

Louis you can turn "off" comments for any movie you upload so don't worry about that. I let people comment on my Big brother clips I upload to youtube for my website but if I ever uploaded anything personal I would turn off comments for those vids (plus if someone makes a comment you don't like, as the video uploader you have all the power & can delete it )

All good ideas, guys! We don't have a Mac, but we do have a Sony digital cam. I'll just have to do some experimenting! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Erin, thanks Teresa and to Everybody who turned for the event last week. ***** T's called me the next day to see what night of the week we'd like for ourselves. I thanked them for their call.

Here's a bird's-eye pic of the track I grabbed from MSN.
