That was good fun! "Oh he's gone off again, ....." And at least you got Jackson Browne on my iPod, could've been ABBA!

Cheers Aymat, it's James's editing skills that made it look good! Indeed, they need to be on the Video page Aymat, for all to see, as it's hard for new members or those not reading every post to find them in a thread!

Thanks guys....it does take a while! Significant credit must go to Pete - for a newbie cameraman, he did an excellent job, and got quite a few of the filming rules right first time, with about 10 seconds instruction. I've done a bit of 'static' filming in a professional context, but nothing prepared me for my first shoot onboard a car. Admittedly it was in a 200+bhp 740 turbo, which doesn't help... So good work Mr Farrell - just less wind noise next time ;)

The sign language...I think it was accidental! I took a few digicam pics, and that was one of them.

cheers

Cheers James! The wind noise is a PITA, but most 300 drivers get used to it after a while! I thought without the windscreen in the way we might get less glare or reflections, but it turns out that it wasn't too bad anyway. Still, we got to hear your twin carbs in all their glory that way. Good work mate. I still think the credit needs to go to you for making something from my dodgy footage! Gotta say the beat of you and the footpump fits perfectly at the end!

That will be because Foggy is a git :P

It's ok.. I saw evidence how much effort is required to steer a 360 without PAS ;)
