April 19th 2009 LONDON CALLING ! Sightseeing run

[Karl]

Nice to meet you Mike , fingers crossed you manage to get yourself sorted with a C5 in time for the next one 

Todays run was eventful  , with the odd bit of drama but a really fab day.

Great to meet up with Umpa, Lee , Ray & Trevor - top respect for travelling so far in order to get your fix of C5 fun 

I was blown away when Matt and his crew met up with us in Queenstown , not something we normally see on our C5 runs , another group of C5's out and about   

Shame "London" wasn't a bit more welcoming regarding Matt's filming project - I never knew that you needed a permit for filming if your camera exceeded a certain size 

The only other snags were the front wheel bearings collapsing on Trevors borrowed C5 and Voodoo's gearbox started grumbling at the top of Hyde Park.  Voodoo is still running, but I'm going to dismantle it tomorrow and see what the damage is 

The weather was fab, my arms and face feel a bit sunburnt  , but it's all good - another fab run 

Some piccies ;

Where home like always a fantastic day out. A big thanks to Karl and Angie for organising another awesome day, and putting on a nice picnic.

Was really nice to meet every one. Mike your you made the right desision regarding your car, it would have trashed the inside.

Well we had are fair share of problems LOL but we adapted and overcame LOL.

I'll post the pics here. 

Cheers guys

Hi Gang,

Here's the video of the London sightseeing run.  Sorry it took so long but I have had loads of problems with this one, from the editing program autosaving the wrong video over the finished film - so I had to redo it from scratch - to youtube not linking the music and me having to redo it a second time.

I have to be honest I don't like this video - so i have done a version I am happy with and will upload it to a bittorrent site should anyone like to download the full youtube unfriendly version.

That video is great !

It captures the essence of the day, I loved it 

[Retro Andy]

I think the film was great, far better than my recordings, hearing Karl's laugh and voodoo horn made me chuckle.
