Elizabeth,
You're the wabbit!
I think I saw you attend the one of the PCA AX sessions earlier in the year. I was impressed with your driving. A friend who was with me commented that the Rabbit was the perfect car for AX and made a comment about the car often making turns on three wheels... I think he compared it to a dog somehow, but thankfully I don't remember his exact phrasing. 50mph at Warminster is pretty impressive. I'm really sorry that I missed it!
Thanks for the link to the SCCA video discussion. Interesting to know what he was using to edit his software. As i said in previous posts, I do all my editing on a mac. I mostly use iMovie, but have used Final Cut Express also. I found that I didn't use most of the pro features on final Cut, so eventually went back to iMovie and loaded it up with plugins to allow me to do the editing tricks that I needed. Producing simple AX movies like the ones I posted and the one you posted really takes only 5 minutes (of actual work, as opposed to rendering time for the effects) using iMovie. I don't get to make enough movies nowadays, so I'm hoping that AX will provide some good opportunities. I'm looking forward to havig some fun with it.
As for the english comments....
Steve is WAY more english than I am, although, many english people would dispute that he is english.
Needless to say, that's why we both have fast cars in our blood.
Steve is still fresh off the boat. I've been here several years and am probably more accurately described as Mid-Atlantic. I left the country as soon as I had completed all the education I could take and I've been here ever since.
The Geordie is specific to the Newcastle area. I'm from Yorkshire. Both areas have incomprehensible accents. It took my wife 3 years to understand a word my family members said. Needless to say, I don't have that accent.

The article below might also be amusing.

Now, as for what I actually said to him...
"Why 'ay pet, tha's got a canny little insult."
Well done, that's not a bad insult...
"Not bad considering tha but fre a historical sneeze an you'd be Jock."
... considering that but for a historical sneeze and you'd be Scottish.
"Aa've te drive slowly te aloo me stalkers te keep up wi me."
I have to drive slowly to allow my stalkers to keep up with me. (Steve refers to himself as my stalker).
Sad, I know.
