** VIDEO ** RX-7's Heating up the highway!

Well, we had a great time on 4/26. A Nice
gathering of Rotorheads.

An RX-7 Convoy up the highway, taking turns ripping and dipping.

It was quite a sight to see. I was in my truck, as my seven is
getting some upgrades..

Anyway Thanks are in order to:

Vosko - For hosting the vid
Taibonetics - For Videotaping from the back of my truck
OneFlyTrini - For the killer stills (you should be a professional)
Zondervan - For arranging the meet, and providing some footage.
Rob20RX-7 - For some footage (he's in one of the Black FD's)
Outkast - For some more footage (he's in the white FD)
Directfreak, (ME, Dammit) - For piecing it together the best I could on my old laptop.
And For everybody else who showed up. By the way, the Burgers were tasty.

The Video is a LARGE Download at 169 Megs.
It is high-quality video, and I did not compress it, to keep it looking good.
Looks great on TV's.

Before I get 1000 seperate PM's - The Music is from the Matrix Reloaded, and all
I used to make this video was Movie Maker II, which is free with Windows XP.

Some parts are choppy here and there, because I had to convert some video from
Analog -> Digital. Also, My camera was setup for widescreen (16:9) but I had to convert it all to 4:3 to match the video I got from other people. I did the video on my laptop, since I am out of town at the moment. If I used my Desktop, it would've been a little smoother.

There - enough excuses. - Onto the Video.

You and this BAV (big *** videos) but the last one was DEFINTLEY worth while (and I think I speak for everyone when I say an inspiration for us first generation owners) so I'm sure this ones good!

You, my friend, are officially my favorite "video man." The choice of music brought a smile to my face

And about that Aussie one, did any of those guys NOT have a port job done to their car? lol. I've heard the song on that one in a club or something.

The "real" choppy bits were taken with a still picture camera that also does a little
bit of video.

But "Choppy real bad" sounds like a slow processor for a high-res video.

Yeah, my wife was thinking about recording him. It would have looked cool, but at the time we were more concerned with getting ready to destroy the footage if we got pulled (evidence). On the original you hear my wife say: "Oh **** a cop, should I record him?" Me: "NO!!!".

Nice job DirectFreak! Great choice of music and excellent editing. Thanks to all for the footage, all the cars look so badass cruising on the highway. I like when the music changes....

For all of you that have really slow internet, mine took a while too but now I have it so if I can fit it on a disc I wouldn't mind sharing it at the next meet. BTW, where is the next meet? I thought the concensus was Biscayne but then I heard something about NOPI... ???
