Finally got my video collection working from the past year.

Here is some in-car autocross action from the summer - the funny sound in the background is what you get when you mount your camera with sellotape...The camera then was perfectly positioned to block my view from a gate and caused me to miss it, but you get the picture:

Note: Broadband required for the vids as they're pretty big.......

And here is some onboard from the ice racing season - after failing in my quest to learn to ski, I think I found my calling..........

Cheap Feburary aerlingus flights, nice rental car people, $20, and you'll have a mustang on ice.
You can have some floor space.........Bring a crowd.........

Wuahahhaha... I watched some ice-racing videos about 6-8 months ago of some amuteur guys in older BMW's & VW's and it looks like racing on gravel multiplied by a fun factor of ten..

has anyone actually tried the cheaper version FWD version - i.e. empty car park and macdonalds tray's under the rear wheels?

I've often been tempted...
