The official FD1 video is still with me.

There is about 1.5hrs of highlight footage.

I was out of the country for 4 weeks because of some honeymoon thingo.

Ive been trying to convert the damn thing to dvd with no sucess. I seem to be loosing way to much quality in the picture - and i was not happy with the final product.

Anyway im on to plan 69 and think i should be able to get it converted to dvd with practically no loss.

As soon as its done ill burn up the 30+ copies for the guys who attended the FD1.

Sorry for the delay.

The time has come good people. I have the final DVD's from FD1 (Fatz's Private drift Day - Oran Park 24/01/2004).

Participants of FD1 contact your local Fatz supplier for delivery of your complementary copy:)

(At the latest you can all get them from Fatz at FD2 on the 01/05/2004).

Sorry about the huge delay. Ive had to rely on a few favours from a few people to go through the steps of getting this to DVD. And i hate hassling people to get the job done faster when they are doing me a favour.

After not being happy with the quality of the video to dvd transfer i moved to plan 69. Its now on DVD with practically lossless image quality.

Its 1hour and 30 minutes of highlight footage from the day.

It is impressive to watch. Most people took the first few circuits nice and easy and by the end of the day (before the rain) everyone is carving it up.

If i had more time i would play around with the DVD menu but i figured who cares. So here it is.

Now i know what needs to be done i should be able to provide the FD2 DVD's soon after the event.

Cheers

Kero

PS. Go Britany

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
