tell me more about this video u are talking about...

 

;)

At the presentation dinner, channel 10 always has a composition of clips from the rally. Usually includes BAD moments (rolling, crashing etc) and near misses but some funny stuff like Simon Evans coming round a corner and yelling "caution cow!!". Or Sue Evans coughing and spluttering cos smoke from a fire under the car is coming into the cabin and Simon saying "it's okay, the cars still driving good!".

 

It's a top set of clips and amazing that they always have the package of professionally edited clips (this year the song was "black betty") at the end of the same day everyone was rallying.

 

I think they show a super reduced version on ARC but am pretty sure they don't sell that video? At Targa they do the same thing but they sell only 300 at $20 on the night (never to be sold again) and they go within about 2.3 seconds.

Just called up Ten Network in Sydney, you *can* get a copy of the video, but you have to be a driver (or part of the crew) at the ARC to get it ;) Not sure how much it is or any more details...

 

However there will be a show about the ARC on Ten on the 20th June (not sure what time), they *may* show it there. Darn it, I'll be at QMS :insane:

This is where you name drop - say you're a part of one of the crews, how would they know?

I somehow don't think I know *quite* enough people (or even names) to really pull that off... Could have tried though ;)

If someone can get one copy I can rip it from VCR etc for everyone ;)

By the way, this is not THE video we have been talking about, but Rally Q is on channel 10 this Sunday at 1:30 pm. I doubt whether the classics will be on there, but it would be nice if Redwaf appeared!!

 

But watch out for our friends in Car 52 (Paul Bergmann and Chris Murphy) who came 2nd outright in the Queensland Rally Championship in a white WRX! Or our friends in car 40 - Mark Neary and Angela Fackrell (red Suzi Baleno). Or MY datto - car 58, red datsun 1600 driven by Rod Biggar - nav Paul Young. Highly unlikely since they only made it til after lunch day 1.

 

Anyway, have a look, should be good!!!!

Finally got hold of some photo's. These were taken at the Mitsubishi bitumen stage in Imbil. Photo's copywrite and courtesy of Winton photographics. Please do not post elsewhere. :)
