Historic Rally of Spain 2015

Why not tell us about your car (start with a picture) and say what you have done with it; either restoring or using it over the years. Restoration of particular parts is of special interest. Club members can have their space on in their Personal Album to do this.

Historic Rally of Spain 2015

Post by Moises Jr. »

Hello everyone.

This weekend we were working on a historic rally, and after seeing the results, I still think that a Jowett could play with possibilities regular 12%, less than 50 km/h mean that would be about 27 Mph, dare I say, in the FIA Historic Championship (won by a Lotus Cortina) would make a good result thanks to its mechanical reliability. The problem is the price of these competitions, regardless of the preparation specified in measurement equipment as terratrip.

I leave a video recorded by our company (ar2multimedia.com) in several sections of the Madrid and Ávila mountains, corresponding to historical regularity.

Best regards, have to see the Mercedes 300 SL "gullwing" really awesome!

Hello Moises,
I really enjoyed your video, Thank you for posting it.
I'm limited in adding photos by 'not having a clue' about how to post so many megabytes in one go.
Every time I post a single photo, I have to reduce it otherwise I get a red error sentence saying it's too large.
I'm only allowed three per post as far as I know.
I think there's a reason for this, I can not remember why, and perhaps Forumadmin has already told me/us somewhere here, but it's good to see that there is some way to overcome this limitation.
Best wishes,
Tony.

Hi Tony

In my case the video is uploaded on my own server and it's just a link, but it is possible that the forum has a limit of size for the images, and these should be reduced to an editing program. The images must have a maximum size of 1024 pixels in both width and height.

You can see pictures of this event, and the chronicle of the rally (in Spanish) in http://ar2multimedia.com/vii-rally-de-e ... rico-2015/

If you liked this video, the output concentration and speed championship will be to your liking.

Saludos!

Thanks Moises.

Tony,
Modern cameras create files that are really too large for posting on a forum. For most images a file size of less than 200,000 Bytes is adequate, but if you think it necessary to have more detail then up to 1,000,000 Bytes should be stored. Many images of only 50,000Bytes are quite adequate.

The size of the image is the number of pixels it is wide and high and this is different to the file size, as most images are compressed and are not a true bit map.

A good screen and some mobile phones can accomodate 1024 pixels wide and high as they have 1920x1080 pixels of real estate, but the image would need to be dispalyed full screen to see everything. Usually the browser reduces the size of the image to fit in the window it has to display the image. On a touch screen you can also expand or compress the windows with your fingers on some operating systems.

In the forum, most images should be reduced in size to be about half the height of the screen, so about 500 pixels high. You can go higher but over about 900 pixels you will have to scroll the screen to see the rest of the picture. Having set the size of the picture, the image can now be compressed so as to reduce the time it takes to download and to save on storage space (which costs money!).

Note that if pictures are loaded into the JowettGallery they can and will be automatically sized and compressed. Not only that, but whole folders of pictures can be uploaded using Gallery Remote and there is an app for loading off your Android phone.

Videos can be stored in the JowettGallery but you are limited to 10MB. More than that I can store, but you would need to send me the file. I could sort out a file transfer directly to the website if we wanted to put any club videos on there like was done in the late 1990s. The comment on one of the links makes you think how things have progressed.
Higher 19MB(49 minutes with 56k modem)
Moises Snr and Meli are featured on this videowhose download is now instantaneous on my currrent modem which is 80 times faster.

Of course you can link videos on youtube or your own website like Moises has done here, but then we are reliant on those sites maintaining the links.

I thought you had mastered compressing pictures...if not give me a call. :D
