Just received this YouTube link today of the set up. Was told it would be a week before we got to see it.

Definitely the best display of the Show, this proves it.

Why is the youtube so fast? Am I doing something not right?

It was the camera we saw up the ladder that projected this! :shock: 8)

There's nothing wrong with YouTube, it's time-lapse footage

Try

- expanding video to full screen

- setting the quality to 1080 for the clearest picture

- pausing the video

- use the right-arrow key to advance frame-by-frame

And good luck :)

Quite easy to spot myself, I'm the one who seems to spend quite a while relaxing in my green chair at the back of my car (black B3 3.3 coupe, far left had side of screen). Polished the car for 10 seconds at the start, then sat down for what seems like the remainder of the video!

MNL - you'll see yourself talking to me (sat in the chair) at around 1:20!

Few more pix of the lovely ALPINA cars here, especially of Paul, Simon, Mick and James' cars (it was nicked off the 5-forum :wink: so is quite 5er-centric )

Greetings.

A moosive thank you to Simon and Tracy for all your hard work organizing the exclusive Alpina display. Especially liked the two B3 bi turbos in black and white. One day I might have one. Loved the pics on the time lapse camera. I never detailed my car so fast. Added some photos for your pleasure. Rest of photos on Facebook.

Once again well done to all Alpina's on display....

Brian, you're an attention-whore :lol: Your car is lovely, though. Hopefully you'll keep it long enough we can afford it when you decide to off-load 8)
