SpaItalia 2010 photos etc.

Would be ideal to have a single thread for photo's and video's?

Heres a link to my album.Excuse the grainy photo's ,dont know how to use the camera yet


http://s117.photobucket.com/albums/o74/coupedummy/spa%20italia%202010/







A few shot from my album, I understand Insy got nearly 600 photos.

Also got some video to post up soon...

CD, great photos! and your car looked stunning in the last few

Please post your photos and comments here as suggested by Coupedummy.

Thanks sam,shes not 100% perfect but a million times better than she was.

Cheers pete

A few more from my iphone

I'm loving this one

Nice photos coupedummy. Keep 'em coming lads!

And the question has to be asked... how many victims did Eau Rouge claim this weekend?

Three but both home on there own steam i think,a fair few spins on track mind.



Was very slippery

That one looks like the replacement for the orange coupe which a French lad, Marcousse, wrote off at Eau Rouge last year.

Thats correct Pete, he sold his wrecked coupe in parts, bought a different one and painted it orange again. He didnt drive the track this year though..

Im waiting on your "spinning video CoupeDummy"
I will sort my pics tonight... at work right now. (should have taken the day off).


Oh and maybe it's the most fun if people actually post their (best) photo's here on the forum (like above) instead of just links to albums. (thought that happened last year).

aint that the truth - got to bed somewhere around 02.30am, at work for 6am only to find i have interviews scheduled to i'll be here until 7pm tonight

if i stay awake i may look at some of my pics after that

I'm glad I booked today off, what with all these pictures!

Anyhow....

http://www.insworld.co.uk/hub/index.php?cat=10

See above for circa 200 pictures (there are obviously 400 more, but without really covering the same things and boring people 200 is it!).

I've categorised the pictures into albums (roughly) so if you need a tea break whilst flipping through them, you can They are a reduced in size on the normal view but if you click on the image itself, they get bigger.

The videos I'll have a gander at later and will upload to youtube. Got a cracking video of a silver Maserati going for it on a corner

Now if anyone does want the whole 600 odd pictures and videos I've got (not including the 3 hours footage on the camcorder), I can put them onto a DVD and post if desired. Just cover the postage and DVD cost is all I ask (I would say I'll do it for free, but just incase I get swamped with requests I just need to cover costs). Pictures are full sized 4000x3000 pixels in size then rather than on my website at 640x480. PM me if interested.

Anyway, have a gander

One picture that stands out for me is....



... yup, moron Ferrari driver almost running Joe (CountryCruising) off the track!

Enjoy!

Lol, looks like joe got tired of waiting for overtaking spots and just nailed passed him on the grass

Looks like it,i was in the passenger seat. We were about to overtake on the outside and the ferrari just swiped across.
Just a few moments earlier did the same to sparco.



Pushed us onto the grass for a brown pants moment.
No damage luckily but didn't sound nice going across the grass.

Knob head Ferrari drivers,all in all track time was fab.

Looks like Belgian plates on the Ferrari

Right, off to look at Insy's snaps

ETA: Insy, you must have a pic of the funicular & mountain we all climbed up in the dark?

whoever came up with the idea of climbing that [censored] mountain wants putting down!!!

insy i think i told you that you had photo-ocd and i was right, but what a brilliant load of pics!! well done fella, nice job

Well you did have a nice little nap afterwards

only after your succession of filthy text-jokes

this one steve?

Better perspective here ?


For those who weren't there (or can't remember )This is the hill we walked up (a winding rutted mud path) in the dark, a bit worse for wear, after the lift closed at 9pm on a Saturday. Town at foot of hill, hotel at top.

There's a website all about it! Here

Pah, it was a jolly little jaunt up the hill, isn't that that right Theresa and Proccy? Nice bit of fun to be had running the gauntlet with one ticket and sliding doors, MC Mike felt a little pinch

God dam it, I'm green with envy here! Superb shots chaps, looks like is was a real cool experience. ..... where's the booking list for next year

Coupe area:





Ferrari area:



Supercar area (mostly Lambo):



Anyone remember the name of this?



The website on the door provides no clue , body German, 1100kg, Exige-ish size, but a 300bhp mid mounted Alfa V6

It was made by a company called "Artega", looked lovely

what a weekend,if theres one thing you ever do with this club make sure its spa you will not be sorry,like to say thanks to all who sorted this out THANKS,heres a few pics well a slide show best i could do sorry,beer was bloody strong.
http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g45/cowboykarl/spa%20trip%202010/?albumview=slideshow

Actually the Artega uses a V6 from Volkswagen (the R36 engine), so not much Italian about it.

Can't get into the album Karl. It needs a password.

I stand corrected Jurgen! Won't be bothering with that then...

Just got back from Spa Italia.
Truly great to see everyone having a wonderful time (despite the weather)
PorkyPaul, Countrycrusing, Marco, PeteP, Magooagain, Jurgen, to name a few and last but not least my twin brother BarmyBob
For those of you who stayed behind be prepared for some interesting stories such as "I was going flat out and all of a sudden one wheel decided to come off"

Here are some iPhone pics:



Matt's mad but Matt's dad is probably twice as mad.
Apparently he likes to take his coop for a spin.
Watch the green coop leading the field clicky
Clicky for a one minute noisy video

Looks like a good weekend might even join you next year aswell patch.

Great pictures people...

Here is my video footage from Sunday's Coupe session recorded before I lost all gears

Part 1

Part 2

I've only managed to upload one video so far

It's the one with Matt's Dad, where we have a twitchy little Alfa, a twitchy Ferrari and a spinning GTV

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuVU9Zty4jQ

Will post more videos and photos when I can, as I have some good trackside footage from when we were waiting for Mike's car to be recovered.

Few more



leighton cooking his brakes

Random surfing today (digg took me to this)

http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/urban-exploration/news-steepest-railways-world

I do recognise one of these photos from the hotel photos, that's quite a walk

Just watched some of the Video Adam made in Marco's car. We are in for a treat when Adam works his majic on this stuff

If anyone has any in car video that they are prepared to share, so that Adam can put together a bigger / better complete Spa video, could you please send me a PM so that we can arrange getting hold of it. You are also welcome to ALL the footage we have too

Bob

I have an hours worth but need somewhere to upload it all without breaking it down into huge sections?any ideas?

I should have hooked up with you at Spa and coppied it onto my laptop

Nice video.
Matts dad is nuts,great singing.

Ok Folks i will try to link my photobucket thing.
Not alot taken really,but a few good ones.
The ones of the large pig is at a services called WOINC!!!

Spa Lift insy, that was brill

Hello Peoples! Havent used the forum for a mighty long time but thought I would post a short video for some of you to watch.

It's at the piont were Marco's Car Decided to break down with the french Girl inside, very funny (Also the quality is rather bad atm, Hopefully gets better :?)

Anyways, I'm currently working on the full length video and would still love for people to send me their footage, so if you have some please contact either myself or 'Barmybob'

Right! The Video...

Youtube

Thanks Very Much, Adam

I don't think Marco minded breaking down too much

Ah yes Marco and the french girl, Thanks Adam!

Small fire anyone.

That had me in stitches!
At one point she looks terrified

"its ok, we had a small fire for a bit, Girl, And you left me in here?!"

It's funny how Marco has to repeat almost every word, she can't understand him

I do feel a little sorry for her. It is SO warm inside that car and she was sitting there for quite a while, on fire

LOL hope the car will be ok for time attack Marco!

and she is fit!!!

Couple of videos, first one I am just getting a feel for the track not having driven Spa before. Unfortunately a misfire prevented me from running 1.6bar (can hear it chasing Matt after the first chicane), so I turn it down to 1.3bar where it was happy. Then the camera decides to come loose so forgive the odd angles

Spa video 1

The second video I get a better feel for the track, although more powerful brakes were definately the order of the day! Still fun chasing the Fezza and Lambo. You can hear the Gallardo downshift as he passes me through the bus stop chicane.

Spa video 2

Unfortunately my best session didn't record, faster again especially on the first left hander through Blanchimont where I took it flat in 5th... didn't do that again though after the back stepped out!

The next session the wheel fell off...

Good to see that some folks got to run on a dry track, all my sessions were WET

Wow, Leighton got a video of my car on one of the laps it was working!

I didn't have enough pace to get past the ferrari on the straight, so i let Leighton past, and he went past me like i was stood still. I managed to get the ferrari on the brakes going into the bus stop chicane, then i started catching up Leighton because he was still learning the track. Unfortunately on the next lap my water temps rocketed and i had to pull in

Leighton & Matt your cars looks bloody quick guys!!

i cant wait for next year..

so gutted i missed out..

first videos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaplpk9EPFI session one part 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPVwWAzB5-0 session one part 3

part two uploading as we speak

I was give buckets of encouragement to attend this and in spite of not being able to go these pics and videos have given me a really good taste of the event Pity about the mizzle

What I particularly liked was in the video between the songs where you just hear the road and that fabulous engine up and down the gears

Re Metalhead vid:


French girl: "What kind of car ees it?"

Marco: "Fiat.....Coupe"

French girl: .. silence........facial contortion...[thinks, what the is zat ?]

Nice spin there Ruben.

Thanks joe

Spa Italia 2010 - Youtube

Hope you enjoy! (p.s. youtube is still processing it so quality should get alot better... fingers crossed)


Adam

Love that Adam. Particularly liked the low-down footage from Bob's foglight-cam. Well done, fantastic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuoJuGiITh4

A 45 second clip from the side or the track.

Will upload some more asap

That's a bit of an arty vid Adam. Not too sure about the sped up and slowed down bits

It is growing on me though, but why is it not in widescreen

Oh I've had to remove your sig too. It was cool but it didn't comply with the Forum rules

Love the video Adam, great job mate

media was a disater for me at Spa - it appears my micro video didn't work and i've lost the data/usb cable to my nikon d60 so can't download the pics i took

particularly sad about the vid, as with senny dave driving my car it would have been interesting to say the least the way my brakes were smoking when he finished

Adam i love the video it's a very modern take on the usual track day vids. Great job mate and your welcome anytime in the car.

So a quick trip round Brands Hatch on Sunday for Adam then Marco?

If you read my long constructed message you would see that I put "youtube is still processing the video" This may take some time, please be patient Fella (DAD!!)



Im working this sunday DAM IT!

Adam you are are always welcome and i'll always have a seat free for you. I'll have my video in on Sunday so i'll try and take some nice footage.

Just watched it again and it is better second time round. the full length on should be brilliant.

Top stuff Adam,we enjoyed that.

Adam the vid was well cool mate but the best part was (please be patient Fella)in your next post,thats the first time bob has ever been told off.lol

Indeed Karl.....

By the way, Adam is unable to post currently due to having damaged fingers

Great video Adam, well done mate.

Another video. Only 50 seconds long, but a nice one:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL5sMtxK9s8

hello

I want to thank the few English members that I could cross and their reception, unfortunately I could not talk to everyone.

thanks for your calendar, he's beautiful.


For those who know me I am the owner of orange coupé


Spa 2011 is 50% English club organizes and 50% French club?

Hi Marcouzze

I'm the 1 that gave you the calender.

Great to meet you and thats a very nice car you have.

As for Spa 2011 I'm sure we could sort something out.

english coupé was amazing, in france we are in a hurry report prepared by your engines

Great video Adam, very well put together - really convoys the sense of speed and excitement - well done chap !

Some great pics and videos.

Excellent video Adam

The only one I have available at the moment is one that Claire took from the top of the pits, very close call with the side of a Ferrari

You'll see the marshal waving the blue flag frantically for the idiot to get out of the way Marco's sounded

http://s592.photobucket.com/albums/tt5/c...ricollision.mp4

I've another 4hrs of videos to edit so when I get a chance I'll do these and post them up.

I've finally managed to upload some of my photos! It took absolutely ages, so will get the rest sorted when I get some more time! If anyone wants the full size images sending to them just let me know!

Here are some of the best ones so far....

ROAD TRIP!!


Sparco at full speed....










The campsite...


As some of you know me and my mate Jonny continued on after Spa, on a little 2600 mile drive round Europe! I'll do a better write up when i get time, but here a couple of photos to get you started..

Coupe's at the Nurburgring


Near the top of the San Bernardino Pass, Switzerland

Spa Italia Photosports 2010

Thanks for the link Joe, been looking for pics like that!

Excellent link Joe thanks!

Thanks Joe, I've been able to use it to identify to the organisers those people who gatecrashed our Sunday session.

Thanks Joe! Great pics there!

Hey Per - great meeting you too, see you again next year!Yes I found those photos of us on the ring! One is now set as my Facebook profile pic!
I've got a couple more photos of yours and your friends coupes at the ring if you want me to email them to you?

Insy - I've got a couple of you on the track taken from my car - i'll email them now!

Unfiltered, all my images:

There's a caption contest on:

http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1062025&#Post1062025

Brilliant picstures and i'll be picking my favourite one or two and having them done as a memory of the weekend.

I already have a thought for the caption 2!!!!!!

Here is one for Insy.

A page from my lad Howards album

You have to login to facebook to see them Joe.

I know that will not be a problem for many....

Sorry folks.

Nick, Magooagain and Kayjay: Brilliant, thanks! Good to see

There's some cracking pictures on that official photographer site but the prices are soooo expensive

What happened with the pictures Bob picked up from that photographer? Is he keeping them all to himself?

There's a couple I might just bite the bullet and pay for but if they are aleady on a cd, I don't want to be doubling up

In the end of the day, I'm happy to pay for photos, just don't want to sell my kidneys to pay for them

You will have to wait and see. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I've just uploaded all my decent photos from Spa onto my "Skydrive" - the online harddrive part of your hotmail.
If people have a load of decent photos they still need to upload i'd recommend doing it this way - I just uploaded 100 photos in under 5 minutes. They are saved as a decent size too!

If anyone wants any full size photos emailing then just drop me a PM!

So here you go............ HERE

Got this message Nick.

This album might not be shared with you

Hmm it should be a public link?

It works on my computer (when signed out of hotmail) and it works on my workmates computer?

I'll have a look at the settings when i get chance!

Works fine for me: some great pics there Nick inc the alps ones

It worked fine second try.

Nice pics Nick!

Some of my pics here:

Hello.

Thanks you for the organisation, and for the DVD it's a great intention

See you next year

Hello guys, the car crazy central video about Spa Italia is online !!

http://www.carcrazycentral.com/Video.aspx?VideoID=412

We saw you Julio, we saw you...

So - you got married yet?

not yet, on the next year

Julien,

There is also a higher definition version here if you want to link on the French forum.

Thanks Petep, I've transmit the link

Sure we're invited. After all we ARE your witnesses!

Yes Yes i was there to.

Of course, you are all welcome !
It will be on May 21 2011, I hope that Spa Italia is not on the same time

SpaItalia will be 2 weeks later, on 4 & 5 June, just got the dates this morning.

I will start a thread later today or tomorrow after a bit more research.

Well that's not good

Half term and Trish has already booked her June holidays.

Yes, she said.

And I have yet to find such good ferry prices as this year.

Hello, I've make a video about Spa Italia 2010, still enjoy !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NUgtkT2Esc

brilliant video Julio, vive le coupé!!!

Great Video

Excellent

Thanks for your lovely (french) com

wow - fantastic video !!! great stuff

Génial

brilliant video!!

Fantastic video.

I've finally uploaded the video I made of my trip to Spa, then on to the Nurburgring, San Bernardino Pass and Monaco! Enjoy!


CLICK ME!

(Ps. Sorry for the bit of swearing halfway through the vid. It was taken on my first ever lap of the Nurburgring so I was maybe just a little excited! )

awesome video mate! Looked like a fantastic trip! Should link it to your for sale add..how reliable!?

Cheers mate! What camera did you use in your car for Spa? and how did you mount it to your dash?

I can't believe i've just read on the forum that Flea is going to start mapping VIS's in the next few weeks! If i knew that then I would most likely have kept it, but i've committed to a 20vt now!!

Your car is lovely...if i had any sense i should quit while im ahead with the turbo and buy yours.But im not...

Was that a section of video from my car nervously overtaking at the start?

We had a flip hd camera camera

..cheap small tripod
tripod

Will all legs tucked together we then stuffed the legs into the fabric slot on the passenger visor. so it was recording sideways.

Then rotated it when we got back onto the computer

result video

Haha all this time later Nick!

Cool vid mate. Good to see my little mx-5 tucked in there too!

See you this year... in a coop

Reub – Yea, I ‘borrowed’ a little bit of your video as I was the car in front! Hope you don’t mind......
My mum got that same Flip camera for Christmas, so will look into borrowing that. Alternatively I was thinking of using my Nokia N8, as it takes really good HD video with stereo sound! I’ll be getting a decent clamp/tripod thing for it anyway as I’ll be using it as my sat-nav this year!

Howard – I know, I know, it’s taken me a while! But I only got a new laptop at Christmas, plus I’ve got a nagging girlfriend who was easily annoyed by me editing video all the time. Especially as it included Fiat Coupes!! Looking forward to seeing your coop, I should have my 20vt by then!!
