Hi All,

In Sep/Oct we took my '87 911 3.2 Cabriolet for a really fantastic trip back to the Porsche factory and museum in Stuttgart through Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and France! The car had an engine rebuild earlier that summer. It didn't skip a beat and was absolutely flawless! We took lots of footage with our GoPro cameras along the way!

On the Luxembourg leg we came across 2 SC's and had a play and waved a lot. Managed to get some footage of them too! [:)]


It's now uploaded to share with the world. I'm pretty pleased with the final result. Summarises the awesome trip really well, I think. Hopefully it comes through and isn't too boring for others!

Grab a drink and some popcorn, put your feet up and enjoy. Let me know what you think! [:)]

Like it! [;)]....thanks for sharing. 1 Gopro or more? Which model, as quality looked superb throughout ? What software did you use to do the editing?

Thanks Steve! Glad you liked it [:)]

It was filmed on a mixture of GoPro 2s and a GoPro 3 Black. I used Adobe Premier Pro to do the editing.

Hi Simon

Really enjoyed that, good trip for the car now its sorted. She should be nicely run in for the 2016 season.[:)]

Your singing was pretty good in the early shots, but dont give up your day job just yet!
 
Cheers John! Really pleased with how well the car was feeling and looking after all it's work in 2015. really looking forward to a few months time when the weather is a bit brighter! She can then come out and play again! [:)]
 
Thanks Mike! [:)]

I'd love to do Le Mans sometime. I also fancy the Mille Miglia too.
 
Nicely done, what setting do you use for the GP3 - I ask as I am just back from skiing with mine and it saves a fresh file every minute of about 256mb!

(-and the battery life is shocking!)

i fancy some some incar footage if I can get mine sorted when the new motor cones out of hiding...
 
I really enjoyed that! Some great humor really made me want to follow in your steps! Do you have a Google Maps itinerary / route? And did you just stumble on some of those places or were they all carefully planned?
 
Hi Westfield2

just checked my settings and I can't see any setting that would break the video up into 256MB chunks. I did a Google and found this that makes it sound like there's no way around it.

I can can see some sense in that. Also it's actually handy from an editing perspective to have shorter shots as when editing you'll have to watch it all back to find those interesting few seconds from the hour of video. Makes it quite laborious (voice of experience ??)

regards,

Simon

Thanks very much JC. That's lovely to hear!

ive just put together a google maps route for our locations and route.

Some parts were planned - the overnight destinations really - so I could be confident that there was some secure parking. We chose them based around a driving time of 2 - 3 hours so we could have enough time to explore places along the way and make the trip part of the holiday rather than just the destination. Other pieces were improvised on the day (Waterloo, Trier, routes through the Black Forest and Alsace Wine route etc.) depending how we felt, how much time we had etc.

Only piece I'd be tempted to change a little would be trying to break up the Dambach-la-Ville to Reims to Dieppe legs, Especially Reims to Dieppe, then 4 hour ferry and 2 hours drive home. That was a tiring day!

If you do something similar I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. We had such a great time!

Simon
