Default Skyline VIDEO Cherry Cherry Coupe

I had the privilege to follow two cherry 67s from the ticket booths to their overlook. Here's a video of them driving on the Skyline Drive. I ahven't met the owners but I expect they will resond when they see their cars.

The video is on putfile.com, and when it opens select "VIEW SIZE = WIDE".

Great vid you shot and put together Chuck. The music was very appropriate for the "2 cool shorts" running in front of you. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. Didn't make this cruise as we were returning from Florida but will make the fall cruise.

And another one in the cool and easy vein, but with SRV. An easy jaunt up 211 after all the festivites and craziness was over.

If I was driving in normal mode, I would have been by her so fast she wouldn't have a chance to take me out. See, that's the danger of obeying the laws.

Route 211 would make for a heck of a Hillclimb race. I would never have the nerve or skill to do it in 2 minutes. To do it in 30 seconds would take a Radical.

Hey Chuck, awesome video.... guess I'm gonna have to make one of those Skyline Cruises. The video just reminds me that my favorite color on a vette is still any shade of RED. Glad to see the camera shake is fixed.... now if you can just add the sweet sound of your exhaust, low and deep in the background...

The "slow and easy" vid was another good job. Noticed several cars parked on the shoulder and don't recall seeing that before. Like the music with the vids, but have to agree with MichaelB on having the exhaust sound in the video.

Well, I thought I had the mic pickup figured out, but not so. This time it was too much wind sound on the mic from both windows being open. It's aggravating to keep having audio problems, I did my testing in cooler weather with one or both windows closed.
