Distant Put-Put

Been out boating today on a Formula, had a great time!

cheap to run, reliable (candle didn't go out once) and sounded fabulous!

Have a look here


for the second bit of the vid, I removed the engine cover just to let the techno-geeks look at the 'powerhouse'.

I won't be storing it as full uncompressed AVI's, that'd take up way too much space, just save it as decent quality mpeg.

This is the second 320 gig drive i've bought in 4 days! ....rack em up!
