I still remember building a model of his Williams-Renault.

What a great video! Awesome!
Actually I thought we found out who "THE STIG" was after seeing your vid!

By the way, what's your camera setup? That's a great cockpit angle. Shows passenger, shifter, you, and some exterior.

This was the camera's first event so I'm still getting used to placement and sound, etc. Ill get better with it.
Its worth the $130. I plan on beating the hell outta the thing.

not sure about other states, but the DOT regulation here in IL is that you have to have a driver side mirror and one of : rearview or pass side mirror.

remember that moving trucks and cargo vans don't have a rearview and still need to be DOT legal

That is a very cool product. Thanks for sharing. I could use one for driving, paddling, surfing, skateboarding, and mountain biking.

You know, I tell people here at work that driving a car fast is liking riding a roller coaster. They don't believe me. Now I have a video to show them. Thanks!

Roman,

Let me know when you get your car running, and I'll be sure to join you at an event. I'll be doing at least 2 or 3 FLR events this year at SEAD. I hope to be running the new car by the late summer, but I'll be sure to bring the Porsche to at least one event so you can see it/trade rides.

Okay. Well after another event, I took my girlfriends friend for a ride. She was even more comical...

Let me host the vid...
