Pre-Ringmeet Roadtrip 2014 - Pictures and Videos dump thread

[tquattro]

Here's 6 hours, from Transfagarasan day, compressed into 30minutes. Most of it's at 8x, but some parts are at 32x or 64x(the beggining, the end and the waiting parts).

Some highlights:
- it starts from a gas station near Sibiu, with IceBone and my brother in the A4 following my car. We are late because we had to go back in Alba Iulia after the A4.
- from 1:14 starts the part of Transfagarsan that's closed in winter
- 2:51: we stop so IceBone can mount his GoPro, afterwards he takes the lead.
- 4:23: we reach the top, short pause to contact the other guys
- 4:41: passing through the tunnel towards the south side of Transf.
- 9:41: cleaning IceBone's trunk, a jar cracked and spilled his special sauce. You can see: IceBone, me, my brother Paul and my brother's girlfriend Ioana
- 11:16: Got stuck behind the Citroen DS4. For some reason, wouldn't let me pass him. Riding the middle of the road on the straits, after a while a tried flashing him..no success.
- 12:42: we reach the damn where the Top Gear crew "accidentally" spent the night
- 13:17: we meet the rest of the group(except Lip). From here we go back up on Transfg.
- 18:23: a wild Lip appears (we was late because his car was at a Renault garage in Sibiu)
- 20:06: back on top. Longer break for taking photos of the cars going up/down on the north side of the mountain.
- 21:02: parking for the group photo
- 22:26: leaving towards Sibiu
- 23:44 - 25:03 - damn, missed this part on editing. 1minute of nothing. Just ignore it
- the end: back at the same gas station from the start of the video

Great, thank you, works now!

What's the story with the Zastava?

I have got to make it to one of these trips in future.

 

[Beni]

I created a thread for it in the post-your-car section!

Retreat to shadows! Nice cabrio weather we had there, too hot for anything else.

As we stopped there, I was telling people how I was broken down twice at that very spot, but now upon checking the facts it seems I was close, but wrong

2011: Same spot, quick-fixing the (again) failed A-frame bushing:

2012: 5km down the road, tightening up wheel bearings (post crash)

And only about 1km down from there Tobias found a radiator cap for his Alfa from a random Italian garage

A week on and the slow realization that I'm no longer on a roadtrip is sinking in. Feels meh.

 

[Beni]

I'll be driving to the Alps by the end of next week, take the Sierra and meet me in Frankfurt on Saturday afternoon!

 

[public]

There are worse ideas...

There are not enough videos in this thread!
Anyone got anything from the Croatian part? Adrian?
