Talking VIDEO: first/only lap of Thunderhill! :)

Ok so-

Here's a link to my file on my computer as shared through Orb. I hope this is safe to do lol ... if anyone thinks this is a security risk to my computer, please be so good as to advise me!

http://my.orb.com/orb/index.jsp?gk=188246-8aae8d9caa5f154505de7db030a2e2b683830727&fid=60&gm =0

So there's not much to the video, and again, this was my FIRST and ONLY lap with the X5; it was only my second time at Thunderhill; and the last time I did Thunderhill was TWO YEARS ago. So obviously, it's not the best driving, but I think you'll still enjoy it.

--Marc

i'm glad you're all enjoying the video so far, and although I thank you for the compliments, I'm almost embarassed: if you like *THIS* video so much, I should really find a way to share with you my previous DVDs I made ... whereas I spent a mere 3 hours making this one, the previous ones I dedicated sevearal weeks/months to making.

In any case, if you're interested, I'll go ahead and share the rest of the DVD that includes reverse-chase-cam footage of the Porsche.

That was EXCELLENT !

You picked a very good mounting position for the camera - it captured the driver, car and track perfectly. Well done.
