Subject: My Pantera Tape Finally Arrived!


>To All,

>It finally arrived!  As you may recall, this past spring I had my Pantera
>video taped by a German Television crew here in New Mexico.  I had titled
the
>posting to this forum "Ever had an airplane give you a haircut?" because
the
>story revolved around the New Mexico state police chasing speeders by
>aircraft.  I also wrote a story about it for Pantera International.  One
>delay after another postponed the arrival of the video which aired on the
>German version of ESPN called "Fazination Oldtimer" (loosely translated as
>Vintage Car World).
>
>It really turned out fantastic!  Even though the narration is completely in
>German the entire program is almost 60 minutes long and incredible!  My
>portion of the program is approximately 15 minutes and the rest is on lost
of
>other vintage cars including Jaguar, Mercedes, great Vintage races (which
>included Shelby Mustangs, Mini Coopers (man, can they corner!) Volkswagens
>and such.  I was rivited to the TV watching it!

>What I thought was a blast is that the VERY first thing that appears on the
>beginning of the program is my burnout which cracked the camera lens!  Way
>too cool!

>Even if you HATE Panteras the rest of the stuff on the tape is really great
>even though it is in German!  Hey, we should have a big party and Peter the
>German could translate for us!  Man, we have someone available for anything
>in this club! :o)

>I contacted the guy who converted the video from PAL (the European system)
to
>our NTSC (I think that's what our system is called) and he said if I order
10
>or more copies of the tape, he can greatly reduce the price of transfering
it
>and it comes out as a very high quality first generation copy.  I was quite
>impressed with the quality of my copy.

>So what it boils down to it this.  The cost of the tape will be $18.20
>(includes $3.20 for Priority Mail shipping).  If you would like a copy of
>this tape, please e-mail me privately.  I will give you all the details as
to
