Matt C Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 How did it do on the review Matt....?? Good points, bad points...?? I'd love to see something like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Tiff reviewed it and gave it quite a good review if I remember rightly. There were a few bits he didn't like, headlights for one. They started the review with a 'Blair Witch' style scene set in a wooded area, panning into a garage with the door opening slowly. The BHP, 0-60, and top speed, (155 gaz!) were flashed up on the screen while they were closing on the garage with Tiff saying something like "There's a new supercar..." Then.... Out drives Paul E with a black UK spec and a green undercar neon kit! This was in 1993 so waaaaaaay before The Fast and The Furious influence!!! If I knew how to get it from VHS to http://WWW. I'd do it:conf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I've been feeding some videos INTO my TV card and 'grabbing' as .mpg's ! ? I've done a few of Clarkson - Hypercars etc. / bits of fifth gear.... BUT, my TV card's a bit cheap and will only grab at ~320 x 160 BUT, that's about right for converting to VCD (to give to people with DVD players). [the picture is a bit blocky, but the sound is fine] Only Prob' is I have 'normal' internet so can't send/post them to anyone. FatS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboldham Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 If anyone is interested I have a small digital editing doobrey and can capture @ DVD quality. Also own an internet company so can host it too. :-) But it may be better stuck on mkivsupra.net as a general resource. I am sure the BBC would not mind. All I would need is the tape concerned.

garethrees Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Originally posted by Steve W AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE ? ? IF my J-spec is doing ~85mph at ~3,000 AND a UK spec is doing ~85mph at ~3,000 FatS. FYI... I tested out the Speed at 3k in 6th on a private road and the speedo say 85, however the GPS says 80.2mph. Don't always trust the speedo, most are wrong. Get a GPS to test this difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
