This thread is golden I genuinely laughed out loud at some of the comments I can't believe you lot let this one slip though..... Careful mate, you'll end up on a register for that sort of thing. On a serious note, I'd love to contribute something constructive to this thread.......but I'm still laughing too much

Bluray discs are not all multiregion. PS3 games are, not films. BUMP - price reduced to £150.

Anyone that played the original will remember how epically brilliant it was. Rumour has it that this is a remake of the original game, it's been confirmed that the main character is the same person. Can't wait. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-driver/101016

I lost the bid for the one on ebay, but I''ll probably buy one of the hague ones for about £80, you can't really use them for convoy footage though.

My arm out the window

The finichis are a good wheel. Not what you'd call lightweight performance, but they're well made and will stand up to the british salty roads. I take it your talking about the Firenzes?

I was, but my work warned me last minute to cover trooping the colour. I'll be at Ace Cafe though mate (try not to blow a diff this time )

Yes You can film direct into 1080p no problem, my problem starts when I start adding effects to videos. Obviously, the higher the resolution, the bigger the picture, the more processing power is needed. My editor is Adobe premier elements that doesn't need to render to start with, it renders afterwards when it compiles the editted compilation. It took my last pc 6 hours to render a SD 10 minute highly editted clip (the pod 2007 video). My current PC will do it no problem, but 1080p is unecessarily slow to work with when the end result is going on youtube.

Sad to see you go Wayne, you're one of the pillars of this community so it's genuinly a loss to us all. Take care though matey

The HD2000 does 1080p at 60fps, whereas the 1010 only does 30. It also does slo mo at 600fps compared to 300.

Yes, but get it from here http://www.camerabox.co.uk/product1.asp?ProductName=Sanyo-Xacti-VPC-HD1010&ProductID=5620 It'd look even better on your 50" screen if I was using the 1080p capability. However I wanted to see what it'd look like on the setting I'll be using day to day. Due to me using intensive editting software for my videos, 1080p is harder for the PC to work with (and makes it crash more ). The 720p mode also has a 60fps mode which I again wasn't using. For some reason, although 60fps looks smoother, it seems less visceral when filming action scenes, I think it's something to do with motion blur adding to the effect.

I'm still getting used to the way it does auto focus. In order to get close up, the best result seems to be to get the camera itself right up close to the object without using any focus. As for sound, I'll be going out later to get some footage of the supra so I'll judge it then, it does have an auto windcut option in the menu though I'm not sure how well it'll do while going down the motorway.

There's also a 300fps slow motion mode. It only does 10 second clips of slow mo at a time at low resolution, but capturing burnouts and tyresmoke will look pretty cool.......here's my dog sneezing at 300fps

I just had the Xacti HD1010 delivered so thought I'd run out and do a test. I'm suitably impressed so far, and this is the level of detail to expect from my future Supra based videos Make sure to watch it in HD. I had trouble getting it to focus on the shield bug at the end, but I imagine thats just a case of me getting used to it.

I'll come along if I can get a lift, I'm not bringing the supe.

I dont believe it, ive just been warned to work this day . . . . . Bollocks!

Where do you live dude?

I have a stock one, but it's in horrid condition. I think either Freddie Kruger or Edward scissorhands owned my car at some point.

I missed a goodun

Can meet at Clackett Lane services if you fancy a convoy.

You don't need another key, you just need the code. Three ways I know of getting the code. Read from a spare key, dismantling a barrell and reading it using the tumbler plates, or having the key codes from the original keyring. They keys aren't that much, though seeing as you need the master key to program slave keys, you'll need the whole thing restting on the computer, that's the part that'll cost you. Is the car double locked?

Speakers will be more likely to blow by being powered with an underpoered amp due to clipping.

This is why I used to cut so many of them, the keys wear down along with the locks, to the point where any key will open any door. The PATS (passive anti theft system) will stop you starting the engine.

The bang could be the crank pulley? Again, nothing new to supras, and not unreasonable to suspect. In fact, Lee just had exactly the same thing when his parted company with the engine.
