Hey Dane, I have never been able to get a good in car video of anything I've ever done. My GoPro vids skip and so I bought and down loaded a video format conversion program but that computer crashed. Can you help me out? Any recomendations?

That Mini is very cool! I've seen projects all over the net with Busa and R1 engines but never one completed and that nice. What do you do for reverse?


Side note, I am a very dry, sarcastic SOB. I have to be veeeery careful on the interweb because that shizz never seems to come through as joking. I always end up trying to 'esplain myself if I try to get too funny in a comment.

I found humor in it, thought the guy was a douche, and thought itd be funny to rev a 1970 Mini to 12k on him. To the people around us, it probably was funny.

Instead this threads turned into a total turd.
I thought it was pretty damn funny. Especially pulling up in the mini.

Keep us updated on the quadcopter. I was googling them the other day and there is a guy out there who has a HUGE one with a dSLR attached. I'm planning on making one after I finish my firebird project.

Hey Gaetano, sounds like maybe your memory card isn't fast enough? Looks like GoPro site says "Write Speed: minimum 4 MBps (class 4)" Just a guess.

I thought that you just weren't willing to share

your SD card is too low a class. Literally. I use a Class 10 but typically class 4 and above should run fine. Make sure its not a microsd in an SD adapter either.

My sense of humor is dry as well. I have a quaife chain driven reverse box for motorcycle driven cars like carerhams.

I have a push pull lever on the shifter. Basically if I was stupid enough I could do 120mph in reverse.
