Great pic's Don, you even got a shot of my front plate how it was intended to be read. (In the mirror)

Good luck with your rock.

 

Great pix Don....thanks!

 

Some are slower than others (me)...I now see the meaning of your plate!!!! Nice one!

 

wasp, I Love your Starbucks and it's a great place to meet for a ride being only a block from Golden Gate Canyon. I am also glad you are here on NAM..

Buckhorn Road/Stove Prairie Road/Larimer County Road 27 ROCKS!
It was great seeing every one today.
Thanks Jamie for taking us there.

I put up one more crop picture for your enjoyment.

Created this little album, you can post it in your build thread as proof of success.

2 video clips and some good pictures of your R53.

I saw you backed your tune down a little. Did you get stopped by the MAN or just doing the retune in GG?

Enjoy the custom picasa album: HERE

Some of you might remember a gentleman named Isaac approaching us during our first stop who took panoramic photos of some of the MINI's with his Iphone. I just recieved an email from him with the photos, though he apologizes that they didn't turn out quite right. He said he was going to come back to take some more, but by then, we had already gone. Check em out:





More pics to come that I've taken! Just gotta get em uploaded!

 

Wow Thanks Don, that camera catches the sound pretty good! Too bad the mapping in the ECU was making the idle go stupid again in the first vid. I think I found what is causing it so it shuld be worked out in a few days.

I had to switch the tunes out, because the tourque limmiters must be based off of the pre S/C manifold pressure, the altitude changed, and the computer freaked out! I tried to fix it once, with no luck, so I just decided to switch it over to an old tune. Thats where I was when I disapeared for a little while. The car worked great the rest of the day, and man was it fun!

Come on pic's, I know Rick was using his GoPro, I wana see! I was too buissy fiddling with the car to take verry many, and pretty much all of them are of Rick's boot.

 

Okay! Here's the photo album!

So that I don't have to upload 48 thumbnails here! Though, here are a few of them anyhow:

 

The iPhone and iPad app is "Photosynth". It's free and works pretty well. It captures single shots (you pick when) as you move then stitches them together to make a single panorama. Takes a little experimenting to get it looking right, but it's worth a try.

 

Still editing the video. I'll post soon. Turning off and on the GoPro camera reliably was difficult. I ended up leaving it on for long, boring segments, which I need to edit out. It was even recording the front seat while were stopped at the picnic destination. That was a good battery and memory capacity test, though!

Here's a video of Rick (****'s Garage, "MOVE-IT") passing me, as we head up Golden Gate Canyon (unedited). The video is from a GoPro mounted outside the driver's door, just below (and back) the side view mirror. It's in the waterproof housing, so the sound is not very good, but you can definitely hear Rick's exhaust when he passed me at about 45 seconds in, and later toward the end.

I'm going to experiment with a few other camera locations, as the view is en extreme wide angle.

Rick,

I used a GoPro for the first time in SD. I taped some good stuff, but for the life of me, I have no clue how to edit, add music, cut out the boring parts etc. Any help or software advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Nice shots Kristan!

 

Jason,
It depends on what you're using to do the editing. I don't have a Mac so I can't speak to that option. If you have a PC, "Windows Live Movie Maker" (free from Microsoft) is pretty good and easy to learn. Note that if you're adding music (which is almost always copyrighted) and you post the video+music to YouTube, the music or maybe the whole video may be removed by YouTube. There are ways around that, but I don't know them. Also checkout Vimeo.com for uploading your GoPro videos -- they're very GoPro friendly. See nero.com for other video editing apps.

Thanks Rick. I will check out the software you mentioned. I will keep you posted.
