Wow --- so many responses! Thanks to all that have expressed their undying love for my new 'toy'.... I can tell you that after the initial drive --- I like it more than I even thought I would! It sounds GREAT! It drives great... The IRS/IFS was a good call! The Tremec 5 speed shifts like butter. I might flip the quick change gears to the 4.30 position.... With the tall tires - I spent a lot of time in 3rd gear.
I'm on the road to Santa Barbara.... I'm pooped after a 12 hour trailer haul.
Tomorrow we'll be in Santa Barbara --- going via San Luis Obispo and maybe a stop in Monterey.... Then I PROMISE I will take proper shots of the car and post them.
Picking the car up was the usual CF.... a couple of tweaks needed after a short drive... and running later than I had planned. I needed to get to my mother in laws - whom I love dearly (she's 85) and take her out to dinner etc.... so pictures just weren't "important".
I record in the upside setting because that's how my roll bar mount holds it and then I just convert it with my video convertor (free, and recommended by GoPro on their support website page for this -- called Streamclip). It's pretty slick and easy to use.
Thanks for the link -- I'll look at it and see if that helps me out. I use Mac's so some of this stuff isn't "supported" in the OSx format.... but will check it out.
The driving position is perfect for me! I'm short (and fat) being both 5'5" long and about that in diameter.... short arms... short legs... short memory... and hold the jokes about short... you bunch of losers...
It has a tilt wheel which helps get in and out -- and puts the wheel where it belongs. SAR repositioned the pedals and got 'em PERFECT! The shifter falls to hand exactly where it belongs. I love it. The cup holders might need some "tweaking"... but that's hardly important.

So you likely use quicktime perhaps? if neither of those, I am no help!
Ditto what everyone else said, the car looks awesome! Seeing you wrap it up is almost bittersweet for me though because the "journey" inspired me to actually do some work on my own. Tug it to Columbus now, and take me for a ride to help me stay on track!
Got into Santa Barbara tonight and brought the POS out of the darkness and into the light... These are shots still only taken with my iPhone.. the battery is charging now for the "big" camera.
