Sean, Did you manage to upload the vid?

 

 

No I didn't do it mate. Its basically just the missus filming a lap, and her commenting when I jump on the go pedal on the exit to the second chicane. She'd kill me if I put it on as its a bit rude............... :silent:

I finally got around to uploading the in-car recording of the parade lap. Please excuse the absolutely terrible unedited audio and video quality as it literally was from my phone stuck onto the widnscreen. I doubt anyone is that interested but it's here anyway:

 

 

There's two parts because the one phone call I got during the day was during the parade and it cut out the recording.

Finally got around to uploading my parade laps vid. Unfortunately. for some reason this is the only video that worked on the day, the others seem to have corrupted somehow... maybe the heat with the camera left in the car for so long... if I can recover anything else I'll put them up as well.

I know its a bit late, but I've finally managed to get round to getting the photo's of the camera.

After spending 10 hours the other day editing prom night photo's its nice to get back onto my own stuff. Only 2 from the day that really stood out. But I guess the important 2.

Anyone else bought photos from the track side photographer after the day? I emailed them a few days after the event and had to wait a while for a reply which said yes we have the photos (they emailed me thumbnail pics) and so I sent payment by Paypal. That was 2 weeks back, I emailed them just over a week ago and have not heard or received the photos so I emailed them again today and phoned them. The answer machine replied with 'I'm sorry the voice mailbox is full and can't accept any more message'. I smell a rat!

Next Wednesday, 18/9/2013, get yourself a copy of VW Driver magazine. There will be a 5-page feature on the track day that took place at Castle Combe in July, with one full page of pictures of the Rados attending!

Panic over, photos received last night with apologies.

 

Replies seem to take a week or more at a time. I got some thumbnails through for scrutiny but they were so small I couldn't decide if the full size pictures would be any good so putting a purchase on ice for now!

Issue well worth buying. Some dodgy writer contributed a few words to the CCGB national day page, too :lol:

Just a quick reminder:

 

The next issue of VW Driver mag with write-up on the CCGB National Day at Castle Combe is on sale from tomorrow at most major WH Smiths etc, but – unless there is one very close by – then probably the most expedient method is to order it online from the website at http://www.volkswagendrivermag.co.uk or call the office on 01525 750 500 and receive it by post.

 

Neil also informs me that:

 

Photos of many of the cars on track can be ordered from the official photographer Jim Gaisford. Tel: 01225 743 400 or e-mail: [email protected]
