Can't watch it yet massah, it's still being 'optimized'. I'm excited though!

**sry_not4sale** · 5-1-06, 23:55

Yeah has been saying "optimizing" the last 15 hours :-S

i've posted in their help section to ask whats going on, but no reply, might try again...

**fredio54** · 5-2-06, 2:43

edit : the link below is for viewing, if you wanna download, i dont know how. perhaps someone can show me how?

incorrect : if you can be bothered downloading 11meg for a lousy vid of some not very smokey donuts, then here it is, otherwise i'm half way through uploading to streetfire again... should be ready in may 2037

thanks for uploading to putfile. i have no end of problems uploading to their severs, but on streetfire i cant even view their movies!

**fredio54** · 5-2-06, 5:21

yeah the streetfire ones seem to be jerky at best. i'll edit above to reflect the fact that it can be viewed, not downloaded. if someone who knows how could post a download link, that might be handy.

Nice,mint get away at the end.
Can't wait to see the fe3 rerun with some smoke.

**fredio54** · 5-2-06, 7:00

when you've done as many donuts as i have, pulling out on the throttle like that is childs play. what i'm looking forward to is power slides in 3rd in the wet :-) cant wait to scare myself (not easily done)

i may have been able to get it into 3rd, but didnt try. in 3rd it will surely smoke more. listening to that video, you can here me get off the gas quite a lot. when i initially pulled out of the driveway to leave, i put my foot down in 2nd and promptly went sideways in the dry. i couldnt give it too much [shizzle] with only on front brake operating though :-)

i'll probably take it out more with both front brakes working before i get it road legal, and film some more action in a few weeks.

Truck looks awesome mate!

You, me and the other ute dude have gotta catch up for some FE3 donought madness sometime!

**fredio54** · 5-4-06, 2:42

do you mean the van guy? is there another kiwi ute guy (on this site)? thanks. as soon as i get time i'll wake up a bunch of nth shore residents again. while i was photographing the marks a maori guy was getting his milk (dairy right there), he wanted to know why i was photographing the road, i told him "it looks interesting." he said "it happend last night bro, there were 4 of them out there." i said "really? interesting". always good for a laugh.

maybe i'll post a daytime pic.
