Great drive last night! We should do that more often. The camera would have been fun, but there's always next week. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the branches smashing up my under carriage.

The gopro cam is sweet, I just wish I had more time to use it.....
I may consider selling mine just because I really never have the time to actually plan out and do some nice video shoots/rides, so talk to me before you buy one....

It was sort of an impulse buy last spring lol....

The camera is really a lot of fun, I just don't have time anymore to mess around with it anymore, sadly enough..... I've only used it maybe 5 or 6 times :-(

Mine is not wide angle - wide angle makes everything look kinda slow, and if you're using it for multi-car video at all you definitely want the regular lens, otherwise other cars look really tiny and far away. I like the speed feeling it give when you mount the regular lens low down, like this: http://www.vimeo.com/2272030

Anyway, I would include about $30 worth of extra's including:
-Three 2-GB memory cards (thats the max size it can use)
-A set of lithium-ion AA batteries (they are expensive, but you really need to use them because it kills regular batteries in only about 15 minutes, compared to about an hour with the Lith-Ion ones.)

I paid $185 for it.....how about the camera and hardware, plus the memory cards and batteries for $150? You can get the wrist-mounted versions for less, but the one with the suction cup mounting hardware ("motorsports hero") is in the $180 range new.

My GoPro track day video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrRIVVAsL8w

(Oh yeah and the sound works fine, but there is a high and a low volume setting, and you have to make sure to use the "low" one when driving at speed, so it filters out wind noise or else all you get is static. Which I forgot to do and is why the video has music instead of engine.)

Does anyone have any good aftermarket end links sitting around?? Ideally the types that use regular nuts rather than a hex key insert??

My cheap aftermarket one literally came right apart so I have no sway bar right now. And I'm not dealing with putting the OE ones back on....

I could maybe come out wednesday night, but no hard driving for me. She's a bit rolly at the moment.....
