Its my new toy, the missus has got her own car.

I had spent the usual large amount on my car and I couldnt really bring myself to keep throwing money at it and losing it.

At the end of the day it was thirteen years old so I thought I'd have a change until I can afford a newage of some form in the future.

The new car is comfy, smooth running, pretty quick, and cheaper to run as a daily driver.

Evening all,

Finally managed to edit car footage and post it on you tube, I'm gonna try with the camera outside the car next time. Any criticism welcome

It always seems to take longer to get into 5th, dunno if its to do with the synchro and the gear ratios. Don't think I could get much quicker, unless I launch with diff-lock on. That one was with 1 click off full lock, then I wind it off as i go into 2nd.

Need to try and mount it somewhere else to get better colour.

Got a vid from Cadwell last Wendesday, they make you sign a disclaimer stating that you won't put the footage anywhere for public viewing which is crap I reckon, I 'll try and get a lap edited and on you tube.
Not many cars on track so not passing anyone, so it doesn't look as dramatic

Cheers for reply, theres one who's not keen on the music, trying to make a bit more 'impact' at the beginning, guess it needs someone who is proper creative instead of an art biff like me.

IMO Money spent on tuition will make you quicker around a track than any other mod, pound for pound

Happy birthday Acko, get anything good? Or do the presents stop at your age?

Any suggestions for title and credit music then? btw whack the link on any other forums you maybe on, the more coverage the better, same as the 1/4 vid. Helps with sponsors - I hope.
