Here is another slightly more interesting vid than my last one, I went for a little blast in the country lanes.

Although I found out the rattling noise from the other vid is actually my camera, probably happened when i dropped it hard! as it rattles when you shake it

You tube may still be processing the vid so if it looks naff at first or doesn't appear wait a little while and then try again

I finally tried mine on the car, mainly as I wanted to show my poorly running car


If anyone knows why you can hear it stuttering at about 5000rpm and over let me know, needs sorting before coombe on saturday

Realised detatchable towing eye makes ideal mount

Nice idea with the towing eye Bit wonky in the vid though

I have no idea where my front towing eye is, hopefully I never need to use it

good mounting idea, a little too obvious for use at the ring though, think the marshalls might spot that

I found a nice spot in mine earlier on. Without the rooflining there's a bit of the roof that seems to be angled just right. I'll be trying it at Combe on Saturday but I've not got chance to sort something properly so I'll just have to wing it with gaffa tape

Rocky - I just turn it on and guess basically then edit out the fannying about at the start. Not sure how it will mount on the vxr back window as I think it may be more vertical than mine, but is worth a shot
