Saturday - Driving Down
After meeting with Dave and Gem in Uttoxoter, we headed down the A50....where my car started making wierd noises.....Turns out the back wheel had somehow come loose, and i had to stop on the D/C that dosent even have a hard shoulder. The rest had carried on...
umm not sure, i paid like £30 for it off ebay......its a 1/4" (Quarterinch) Sony CCD Bullet Camera (no idea why its 1/4, think thats the sensor size inside)........they are around £80/£90 new so ive heard, i got it on ebay though as said :)
erm basically its just a Sony bullet camera, just the right size to fit inside the renault diamond...although it could be mounted anywhere really, it just needed 12v power source.......
Then the lead that comes out of it goes onto the AV-In of any video recorder/device, i use a Canon camcorder...
dont know how many i got....got stopped halfway through because someone went off into the gravel.....then got 3 or 4 after going back out i think........tracktime was 36 quid i think.......but people were selling sessions for 20 on here
that was the pace lap, lol........got left for dust on the straights, could only just get past 100mph lol.....then the last lap was going slow as everyone else was, lol
after the disaster with the wheel, proceeded to lend two white 15" turinis :cool: off hayley so i could still go out on track..........first time on and was good fun, bullet camera worked well too!
Vimeo has compressed the quality quite a bit, but you get the idea :)

good snaps, loll............hayleys 15' turinis on the front and my super'ls on the back....made it a bit more interesting
and yeah........killed the alloy, split two big chunks out of the rim.....had to drive the rest of the way there on a steely and home on a steely.......superleggeras will...

heading down the a50, wheel came loose, then nick decided to fix his splitter in the rain in a lay by...
managed to hit a kerb on the way to peterborough, took a chunk out of the rim....wheel in the bin :(
:(:(:( steely for FCS ftl :(
then we got to the hotel.......and nick decided to...
yeah....little idea with a spare set of covers......cage etc is same color also
im still in the middle of trying to solder a microphone for the bullet camera on the car before we leave tommorow.......wanted it to be working!
