    History of the Vehicross Part 1 On youtube!

    This is a little video I put together yesterday.

    Kodiak, truly a superb endeavor, thank you. Having been a VX owner now for a few years and thinking I am a expert because I am a paid up member here at vehicross dot info, I have learned so much from you video and how much I didn't know. Think there should be a link posted here to this video for all of the new members that join in the future. Thanks again

    Good content, but PLEASE replace the computer voicing with good ol' human-speak!

    Agreed - the computer voice is irritating. You need a sexy, gravelly female voice in my opinion - heh.

    Great video.. some pics I have not seen before.

    It reminds me of the sales video INSIGHTS: Vehicross, that has been passed around the membership. With all the new members, does everyone know about the INSIGHTs video?

    Stephen owed me a favor for some theories I thro his way a while back. So be nice, your giving him a complex. Trust me that’s the best computer voice I could fined. The other ones are pretty bad.
    I mite need to brake down and use my own vocie.

    Thanks for the encouragement, part two is coming up.

    If you shoot me the script, I might be able to work something out for you, still using an electronic voice but a lot more cleaner... and female!!! I attached an mp3 in a zip file for an example...

    Nice voice! I was using Microsoft Mike, I was going to use MS Anna but that voice is way too choppy. Part 1 would need to be reedited to get the timing just right. I’m in the process of getting a better voice for part 2. I’m going to finish part 2 first and then redo part 1.
    The voices I have came with my GPS software. Yours sounds really good. As soon as I finish the part 2 text. If I don’t have a better voice by then. I’ll shoot the text off to you.
    Thanks for the offer.

    Hi great vid - i like the inclusion of the JDM - but remember the two engine sizes and the JDM hi low lever is the one you show - as a suggestion rather than mixing the JDM and the US version you might make each their own specific section by year as the two don't cross the time line but the US one follows the JDM - 3.2 and 2wd option with TOD up to 50m mph cloth interior etc - then the US version with the 3.5 constant 4wd leather trim sun roof etc
    cheers
