Guys and gals...

As you know, anyone with an EV generates a lot of awareness everywhere they go. With YouTube, Gav (KiwiEV) and others have been making videos of interest. Recently, Gav offered for sale DVDs of his videos (and an as-of-this writing unreleased-to-YouTube Bonus Video!) for a nice low price.

If you're interested in Gav's DVD, please click here!

If you want to see the YouTube videos, please click here!

I'll admit, watching Gav's progress on YouTube inspired me to get back in the game. The videos have inspired countless others to at least take a peek at what's available, if not start conversions of their own.

With a friendly, positive attitude, the support of a loving woman, and a lot of help from his friend Rob, Gavin shows the world exactly how easy it really is to do a conversion... step-by-step, every part covered.

Definitely a must see, and if you can manage, it'd be a nice gesture to help support his efforts to prepare adequately for KiwiEV-2... in HD!

Hey thanks Dj! That's really made my day!

I'm past the halfway mark too by the way. At this rate I'll have my new baby in just another 5 weeks; and then you'll all get to see the much talked about bonus video too...

Here's what I'm halfway to:


Just another few dozen DVDs to move and I can finally start filming (in High Definition) the next KiwiEV episode! Thanks heaps everyone!

I agree with the thread master. Gav did a great job and in fact that is how I found this forum was through one of Gav's youtube videos. Thanks Gav! If I had not seen that video, I would have not found this forum and become a part of a great group of EV DIY'ers.

I think the first I stumbled upon was the PotBox video, but then had to go back to video one and watch them all. I even copied them and sent them to another buddy who was also looking at converting his ICE to electric. Now that the video is for sale on DVD, it will be easy for anyone to get a copy and save the headache of internet slow download speeds and just buy the DVD.



This Beck's is for your Gav!! Cheers!
Hope the beer is still cold when you read this. haha

[KiwiEV]

I have it! I have the new camera!

This means you can all expect me to churn out yet another episode in the next few weeks. Looks to be an exciting next episode too - in high definition at long last!

edit: I changed my mind on the JVC camera after reading how much better the Canon Vixia range is. Check out this review: http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=RgnZO-kDdwg
I'm yet to see one bad thing about this camera. The video quality is pretty darn impressive. Even my mate Rob was impressed and he's bloody difficult at times.

Very nice! I will be looking forward to your videos

Mr. Kiwi EV wizard sir;

I watched your videos about 4 months ago. Not only was I impressed immensly by your willingness to try something new, but your personality and ability to interact with an amatuer camera was wonderful.

I had decided to try to build an ev but was very nervous about whether or not I would be able to pull it off. Watching what you accomplished in your garage with nothing but determination to complete the project was nothing less than inspiring!

Congratulations on your noteriety and your car!

Thank you for leading the way! (I am not forgetting all the others!)

Michael

(Edit) I just bought a copy. You absolutely deserve the support!

Continued success!

Don't tell me you typed that all out!
You're welcome though. Glad you enjoyed the DVD!

I'm busy uploading all my videos to www.vimeo.com but I keep hitting my weekly limits so it'll take a while. Here's an example of the quality between Youtube and Vimeo:

Unfortunately photobucket has squashed it down but it's still not bad. On the full size version you can see the raindrops.
Still, the next High Definition EV video will be four times better than that. I've gotta make it first though...

[KiwiEV]

For those of you who haven't fallen asleep, here's a quick video I put up on Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/2221581
It's compressed down to half quality so my next video should be twice as tidy as that. I hope.

Hmm, sorry about that. It went into "Private" for some reason. Try again now if you're bored.
