Accim's videos

Dazzler · **Reply #31: July 08, 2011, 12:45:59**

Thanks accim.. enjoyed those .. your neighbourhood reminded me of parts of Tassie. Liked the dusk video even more (nice light effects and interesting building .. and cars

)

Thanks

That was great Accim, you live in a real nice place. I noticed the young lady in the yellow top about half way through and expected you to slow down for a better look

....

Also Accim, Kranj is such a familiar name and I can't remember why. It's not a recent memory I know that but Kranj is definitly in my memory banks for some reason, I do hope it's not something unpleasant as it looks such a nice place.

And with regards the light evening, we're staying light till bout ten in the evening just now so I guess you're on a similar line of latitude as us in England?

Thanks

PS
what sort of camera set up are you using?

accim · **Reply #34: July 08, 2011, 20:32:05**

Haha! Good one. Well I saw her too late. Last second. You might see me going left/right a bit, few seconds after that - I had to check in the mirror

Hm, Kranj familiar? Maybe because of some sports, maybe because of airport (Brnik -> it's few kilometers drive from Kranj).. Don't know.. I just hope you weren't mugged or something like that

Slovenia - England

Ok, guess what.. I have one more vid. The location is place called Crnivec -> it's approx 7 km from where I live. I went to get get a pizza and then I went home. I'm 2 min away from where I stopped the video.. So still neighborhood in radios of 10 km

P.S.: All videos were taken with a mobile phone, Nokia E72.

Dazzler · **Reply #35: July 08, 2011, 21:27:54**

What a lovely drive to go and get Pizza

You seem to drive quite quicky for a relatively narrow road...

Your pedestrians seem quite brave walking on the sides of those narrow roads with no separate walkway

ASA... that is called curb crawling

I would be very nervous driving on that side of the road as a tourist .. going around the roundabouts the wrong way and stuff.. :-\

asathorny · **Reply #36: July 08, 2011, 21:35:55**

A really nice drive as Dazz says, you live in a very nice place.... Kranj (sport) not that triggered a thought, I wonder if there was some big sports thing there a long time ago which I was interested in, I will remember, eventually

Curb Crawling vicariously through Accim

Your alos within the European Union aren't you, so I could get on of these pretty houses and come and live there if I want too

it looks like your moving along fast.

IN one of the clips I did I noticed how fast it looked on the screen whilst in reality I was well within the legal speed limits and had I gone slower I would have had folks honking their horns at me for going slow. Must depend on the camera I am guessing, I am not a whizz at cameras BUT this wont stop me from having strong opinions

so here goes, I think it's a forshortening effect which gives the impression of speed

Do feel free to correct me though

2i30s · **Reply #39: July 09, 2011, 09:39:07**

I'll bet your on the rite track Asa.

accim · **Reply #40: July 09, 2011, 10:11:23**

Hahaha

I wasn't driving fast

The camera makes it look, like I'm driving much faster, than I actually am.. :-\ I wasn't going slow, but not that much over speed limit, as it looks.
So I would go with asathorny statement

Curb crawling

Haha, I had to look it up.. Did you mean it like this:

curb crawling

The practice of trying to pick up a prostitute in a red-light district, by driving slowly along the curb, and checking out the action.
Hey, Luigi, you wanna go curb crawling tonight?

asathorny: Yes, we are in the EU, so you're welcome to buy a house here

But the prices are (for our standard) too high. Some average house on some of those locations (which aren't that special, there are much more expensive locations) costs around 200.000-300.000 EUR, at least. But than again, can't compare England and Slovenia, so the price is probably quite reasonable for you. I know a lot of people, that earn around 600 EUR/month. But some normal wage is around 1.000 EUR. Of course, you can rent an apartment, but the rents are also very high. A friend of mine is renting an apartment (approx 50m2) and pays 400 EUR/month + of course all costs and the other friend pays 600 EUR/month (around 45m2), but he's living in Ljubljana (capital). So half of the salary goes for rent, the other half for costs, food..

asathorny · **Reply #41: July 09, 2011, 10:17:56**

Accim... HAhahah

Yes he did mean *CURB CRAWLING* in that sense, implying that I am a 'dirty old man', this in fact may well be TRUE, but do I want it spread world wide on the web

The houses sound a bit expensive, more than my pension could stand... but it does look a nice place

I'll just have to settle for you educational video's

2i30s · **Reply #42: July 09, 2011, 10:19:15**

curb crawling.

well you did say you were going to pick up............ a pizza.

accim · **Reply #43: July 09, 2011, 11:22:55**

Interesting word phrase. CURB CRAWLING. Haha

But you know what's the funny thing? There actually are some ladies (night club) in one of the buildings in that video!

You can try to guess, which building it is

And NO! It was not the building I was going from.

Oh and yes, I forgot to comment about people walking on the road. They do that all the time. That's good, sometimes there's a couple and they wont move.. Or bicycles. Sometimes you have to drive behind them for looong time, but. What can you do. That's how the roads are on some locations. I personally, wouldn't walk there, especially in the evening or at night (which also often happens).

P.S.: I really went to pick up a pizza, my girlfriend was sitting next to me

She wasn't with me then

Only the previous vid (pizza video). Though she wouldn't mind that much. She would just give me the "look". I think she had some shorts

Quite right Accim, dark shorts, Yellow top, twinkle in the eye and I could tell even from the Video that she was definitly my kinda girl

accim · **Reply #48: July 17, 2011, 22:12:14**

Ok here's one of my random videos. Made it the other day.

Location: Village where I live

At approx 3:00 I'm passing a primary school, which I used to visit long time ago (1-4th grade). In this school there are only 1., 2., 3., and 4th grade. 5th, 6th and so on, are about 5 km away. At least that's how it used to be. Now, there are only 1st and 2nd grade I think.

The school was built in 1896. So it's 115 years old now. The church, that can't be seen well in the video (but you can see it at 2:40-2:55 and I'm passing it around 3:15. Hill at around 3:20 is parking for the church), was built before 1586.

Here's the vid:

Shambles · **Reply #49: July 17, 2011, 23:01:20**

Nice clear ride

Are you bumpkin in disguise?

(PS, get that rattle sorted out

)

Dazzler · **Reply #50: July 17, 2011, 23:10:22**

Loved it (apart from that rattle...

) Don't think we would have any sealed roads that narrow in Tasmania (certainly none with blind corners like that...)

Lovely drive and attractive buildings but no way I would go that fast on the wrong side of the road..

accim · **Reply #51: July 18, 2011, 09:54:14**

Thanks. Well, the good thing on this road is, that there is no wrong/right side, because it's too narrow. Especially when driving with Santa Fe or similar cars.

One of my first "interesting" driving experiences (second or third day I had my drivings license) I had was on this road. But I was driving the other way around..so back. It was 15th January, around -5°C outside, midnight or passed midnight and it was raining. So you can imagine how the road was.. It took me 1 hour to do the same trip as I did in this video :-\ I still remember it. I was going downhill and had in 1st gear and kept on skidding. I really don't want to repeat that anytime soon.

The rattle. It's the phone's "holder" that's making it. I'll try to fix it today, it really is annoying.

TrishCW · **Reply #52: July 18, 2011, 14:04:08**

loved the drive, like Daz said I wouldn't drive that fast on such a narrow road, very pretty driving though the trees.

thanks for sharing.

accim · **Reply #53: July 22, 2011, 14:00:40**

Went to Ljubljana the other day (I've probably mentioned, that it is a capital of Slovenia). It was rather funny trip - highway. Look at the woman in silver Renault Clio in front of me (starting at 2:10). And the car that was bugging her that much (that was in front of her) was also driven by a woman

eye30 · **Reply #54: July 22, 2011, 16:41:26**

Was she driving at the max K's?

No messing when she saw you coming up behind her...

Re Toll - is it pre paid and charge taken from a sensor in your window or does it record details and send a bill?

As you where going into the tunnel where do the 2 lanes on the right go?

Am, no she wasn't driving at max speed, maybe when I was passing her. Otherwise no

Toll - we have "vignette" (sticker for highway, I think it's called like that) and it costs 95 EUR for 1 year. Before, we used to stop at those little houses and pay toll, or you could use ABC system - no stopping, you had little white box which was detected and which opens the gates, if you have enough cash on it. In few years they say we'll have satellite toll and we'll pay per km driven on highway.. Something like that.

The 2 lanes on the right. If you go there, you go to the center of the town Ljubljana or at least one way to go to the center

Thanks accim could easily be parts of Tassie (except for the traffic) our roads seldom that busy except in Hobart and Launceston...

Just did a google .. didn't realise Slovenia was so small

(one third the size of Tasmania with 4 x the population .. no wonder your roads are busier)

Yeah Slovenia is really small

You can get in 2 hours to every part of Slovenia from Ljubljana (capital).. Heck, it takes you 2 hours to get from the farthest point on North-East to farthest on South-West (Ok I'm exaggerating but not that much.. According to ViaMichelin planner, it takes you 2 hours and 52 min to get from Koper to Murska Sobota (286 km), driving according to regulations. So 2,5h basically ). With car of course.

I live about where the cross is and it takes me approx 25 min to get to Ljubljana, 1 hour and 15 min to get to Koper (the sea), 1 hour and 20 min to get to Maribor, about 35 min to get to Kranjska Gora
