Are you ready? - Drifting forum

Andy_f · 16-04-2007, 21:12

Finally finished my mahoosive list of jobs to get done before it was truely drift worthy, but now I'm happy. Just about managed to fit 8 tyres in the back, one pair of 17's for the front, a pair for the back and two pairs of 15's for the back. Had to remove the rollcage diagonal to fit them all in, the beauty of a bolt in cage.

Fear the jungle gym!

Positively wetting myself with anticipation. Don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight!

Chunk, have you got them tyres in the taxi yet??

Mark · 16-04-2007, 23:06

I'm coming with my mate Welsh Mart, we have a sierra slammed as frick full of e28 bits, 4 nissan rims for Steve-O, and then about 8 rims for the sierra, oh and a couple of e28 rims too.

What's the problem?

have you tied the wheels together in-case of a collision....if so

Andy_f · 17-04-2007, 20:22

Haha yeah. My thinking was large lump of tyres < single tyre. The whole lot is strapped down to the turrets though.

Dex · 17-04-2007, 21:51

any footage of today?

an no, no crappy phone vids/pics

steerfromtherear · 17-04-2007, 22:02

There was loads of proper photographers there (or at least people with really big lenses) and a few people with decent cameras and vid cams
I didn't take one photo even though I had intended to but mine would be shite anyway.

Stavros · 17-04-2007, 22:03

I got loads of pics, but as it was a "proper" camera the pics are really big (5meg each sorta big) and im too lazy to resize em, lol.

Andy_f · 17-04-2007, 22:15

Image resizing, do it with PIXresizer

Really good for just re-sizing a whole folder of photos.

I have a fair bit of footage, but gotta get it encoded and put an edit together. Will post up tomorrow hopefully.

John@TunerUK · 17-04-2007, 23:54

I went with my big ass camera and lens, but spent most of the day messing with my on car filming rig, so I only got about 400 pictures in the end. I got quite a few I'm happy with though.
I noticed you there Stavros, but only off and on really. Did you have enough reach with that lens you had on? I was struggling with shots at the far side with my 70-200 F2.8 VR.

superclarkey · 18-04-2007, 06:58

Don't talk technical about cam's... thought they were all the same anyways... just like had bigger things on teh front of them to make them look getto ?? no ?

Good day
