Not sure if that works but I posted a teaser video clip. For the record, the white van in one of the clips was standing on the right lane so we had no choice. :cooldude:

 

Be warned, the file is something like 112 MByte and it is only a small fraction of what I took.

 

So far no title, no transitions, no music but it may give an idea.

 

I am still weighing my options how to produce a real nice video. Maybe a 30 min DVD for whoever is interested or maybe only a 10 min Youtube clip.

 

Any ideas?

Hi Gert,

How about 3 ten min clips on YouTube. Sure would promote the 7 and would get a lot of hits I would think.

 

Video is real clear and interesting. Sure looks like you all had a great time.

I get the sound track but just pretty patterns when I play the teaser. It comes up using Windows Media Player and .avi is one of the types selected and supposed to play on it. Any ideas?

I got the same thing, glad I'm not the only one! After several failed fixes, a coworker suggested installing something called the "K-Lite Mega Codec Pack" and it worked.

Ah, sorry about that. I should probably better have used a Windows Media File instead of MPEG-4 or H264 or whatever that format is. The .avi suffix does not mean much if the playing computer does not have the proper codec installed.

Downloaded the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and all is well, thanks Squarefour.

 

Thanks for the clip Gert, I'm looking forward to the complete version.

Geert,

 

Was Stewart's Stalker the only Seven on the trip that had no problems and/or issues? Bill's Stalker's problem was pretty minor....so I'd say the Stalkers won the reliability prize, overall.

Well, you may be right.

 

I believe most failures were not really the result of inherent design weaknesses of the basic car but the consequence of build quality. That is surely true for the broken wing stay tube that I fabricated myself.

 

But, considering that Bill's Stalker (not sure about Stewart) came already assembled speaks indeed for the quality of the build.

17 years here. A modern fuel pump with less than a thousand miles is what shot craps.

 

The real prize goes to Derek's car. 36 years old before normal metal fatigue made her shed any parts.

I know....it is not politically correct. But remembering the enormous number of trikes we have seen in the Black Hills I found this funny:

Well we have 6" of snow here in Calgary; the Stalker is up on blocks having some upgrade performed on it. Just thought I would post some more photo's from the trip, refresh everyone's memory that attended the tour.
