Psyco, looks like the lens works great! Now get on that video!

I go my video camera out yesterday and I'm working on some sort of camera mount I was thinking a pod mount that sticks to the sun roof. Maybe in the car or on top of the car
but if its on top wind noise will be extreme or if I mount it upsidedown form the sunroof pod inside. . . maybe my camera has a upside down mode??
Anyhow I'm ordering the right filter for my lens (that was the problem) and I'm ordering a filter for my video cam.

Oh im taking my tires to Belle tire today to show them how much they sucked and that a all season does not in fact perform like a performance sumer tires!

What was that site again for the camera mounts, chase something?

Belle Tire was pretty good for me in a similar situation, I had a 2yr old pair of Yokohama YK420's that with less than 10k miles were totally dry rotted, they took them back no problem (after they tried to blame me for putting tire shine on them until I called them idiots) and gave me a good deal on a set of YK520's.

Filled up my car after the fun run got 22.8mpg... Sadly thats better than what I get driving strictly to and from work 15miles daily city driving.

Stayed up too late watching that wings game but I'll work on my pictures after I get home today.

 

[mazdaspeedster3]

Wow... that fun run got the michigan section running again! Great to see.

gay, i just finished the video and its too big for youtube. i cut it down from 35 mins to 17. its like 385 Mb though

if anyone wants it, tell me and we'll try to figure something out

 

[goldwing2000]

Just want to say thanks for everyone who came out...some old faces but a lot of new ones. Definitely one of the best drives I've done in the past 4 years, and I really hope that we can all do one like this again.

Looking forward to some of the pics, I'll post what Ian's g/f took when she had my camera soon.

Who you calling old, whipper snapper?! (lol2)

My girlfriend would *freak* if she knew that not only did somebody get a picture of her, but it's also posted on the intarweb! It's a good pic, though! (thumb)

Can't you put the video on a file unloader web site youtube ruins video quality

 

[tunersteve]

Oh, come on Kane, you know better than that.

I'm excited for the next one, but this $4 a gallon bulls*** needs to stop. It's sad that I remember when it only used to cost me $20 to fill up after this, now its like $65. Definitely worth it though.

do you know of a good one?

 

[tunersteve]

The only thing when you guys post video that I ask (for everyone's sake) is that you blur the license plates out.

 

[MikeLikesMazda]

in my video you cant see the licence plates lol


edit: i did one last check through the video and there are a few parts that you can somewhat see the plates. im going back and blurring them out

 

[Pastime-Gamer]

do you know of a good one?

You could try out http://www.vimeo.com/ I've never done video uploading but it looks promising.

 

[CallmeDave]
