Stoneleigh 2016

Weather was kind to us - good run up to within around 30 minutes of Stoneleigh on the Saturday - overnight in local B&B + Local pub evening meal - to spend best part of Sunday at the show ground. Wander round some familiar cars and stands - notable groups included a club from the Czech republic - their pictures of Romanian roads, and particularly Transfăgărășan looked very interesting - made a mental note.

RhoCar's area possibly slightly smaller than previous years - but plenty full of club member cars of various types, so full it wasn't obvious how to get in!

Met up with a few people who read this blog and had a chat about the pleasures and frustrations of the build process. Thank you for saying hello!



..saw Peter who joined the RhoCar group on the inaugural Scotland Highlands Run in 2014, as well as Paul and Terry(Scotland 2015) and David who's blog was one of the key deciders on my buying a Zero kit in the first place...

The drive back along the M40 allowed the other bonus hobby when you have a panoramic view - bird of prey watching - some fantastic groups of 4-5 presumably Red Kites visible from the road and the odd hovering Peregrine falcon (or similar) hunting the road verges.



360º Video

A chance to play with the 360º camera some more and added some youtube footage driving to the ground and parking up in the playlist.
I have got the hang of simple editing now, next challenge is a logo for the black, straight down, area.
Note - this requires either a mobile device Youtube app or Chrome/Firefox browsers to view properly - but if it works you can pan the image during playback

Wonder when  the Kit car manufacturers going to cotton on to some Virtual Reality experiences for the shows, a little more investment than I can make privately and potential customers can start to get the feel for the open road without taking a foot off the display stands.
