scannon Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 After 18 months on the project, the engine was started for the first time to day. It fired up instantly on the first attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Skip, it says "This video is no longer available." I have seen that if they haven't posted it yet. Did you just upload it? Can't wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Apparently it is still being processed by Youtube. I don't know how long it takes before it becomes available. A lot of firsts today, first start, first video camera, first upload to youtube. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1 Seven Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I think that it can take several hours to a day to process from what I understand.

scannon Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Apparently ...It's NOT Alive - First Startup won't Startup. Youtube may be stalled, but the motor definately started up. It has a sweet sound to the exhaust that doesn't really come across in the video. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 I see the resemblance, however, I'm a lot less shiny on top and I only wear suits to weddings and burials. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/wink5.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember, he had a few cool cars. couple of old 911s, and an olds 442. I wonder if he still has them. hadn't thought about him for years.
