Thanks for asking FFS. The weather turned to be the opposite of what had been forecast a week before. So, in the 30s. Hadn't been here before. The hill is known as Le Fiscal and goes out and up from the town of Remiremont. It's a long trek with a trailer from Charente Maritime. Car went well but there are some, I think, carburation problems which are taking the edge off the acceleration. The hill was 3.5 kms and was, of course closed to traffic. We had four runs. I was tempted to work out what the cost per km was ! Very interesting selection of high quality cars and good people with whom to chat. Mid August I am going back to sort of the same area for the Montée Historique du Ballon d'Alsace. This should be very good. It is 10.5 kms long and famous for being used in International Rallyes and the Tour de France Auto (PS. Well worth watching if it comes anywhere near you. It's on soon I think)

Yes and no ! Picture quality and sound OK but film doesn't run smoothly. Runs slow and then stops and then jumps forward. I am fitting my "ordinary" camera in the car for the next event as I know that works.
