Wow! Beautiful countryside and fantastic place to put your TA through the paces. It sounds great and those gauges are easy to see in the daylight. Thanks for sharing.

That looks like a blast! You seem to have the opposite problem as we do; you've got all curves and not much straightaway. Most of the roads around here are all straight with no curves... it gets kind of boring.

Your car sounds great.

LOL. Thanks. I actually tried using a headband mount to give a drivers view but it didn't work out. Lens was too high and not very stable. I may try again. This gives a better view overall but it's mounted to the passenger head rest so it can vibrate quite a bit at times.

I have straight roads here too and I do drive on them, although I gravitate to the windy ones. The straight roads make for boring videos.

Have you considered a dash cam?

I certainly have and already have a backup cam but I would be afraid they would use the dash cam evidence against me at trial...lol

I have dash cams in our DDs. Haven't put one in the TA yet. Obviously they do make windshield mounts for phones, but I'm going for more of a "in the seat" perspective. I guess it doesn't matter very much for the amount and type of videos I do. Just trying to think of ways to make them better without spending lots of money for something that's just for goofing around.
