Despite riding 85 miles today the haul of classics was almost non-existent :shock: :(

I did see a couple of old Yank Tanks and will try to find them in my video footage but one car I did spot made up for it handsomely :D

Happily I was taking a break in a very pretty village at the time and got it on my phone camera :)

Steve, maybe try a dashcam and then you could do as I do with my bike cam and grab stills of interesting stuff from it...

Every ride now I'm on the lookout for interesting vehicles...

Well looks like I have seen a Ford Mustang in light blue with accompanying burble, and a stationery very shiny, red, prancing horse thing that looked very dificult to get in and out of....

Yes neither impressed me enough to click the shutter :-D

I keep trying to talk myself into it - the new car is pre-wired for a dashcam and it would be useful.

Surely this wouldn't breach your Order's ceiling for spending Steve? :-D

I suspect that at that price it will be crap and last a couple of days Mick.

I'm still wearing the hair shirt and sefl-flagellating for buying a CD from Amazon and accidentally including £100 worth of other stuff that I had no need of.

That 'looks' the same as the one I've been using for a couple of years so I hit the buy button. :) not a big gamble to see if it's ok or just junk. the delivery is from China though and could take right up to December to get here.

The one I have is pretty good once I worked out which damned buttons to press. :) I stuck it to my front bedroom window and ran it off a battery pack, filmed the whole process of my front yard and driveway relaying job.

I discover I did press the shutter yesterday. I have picked out the most interesting element of the photo in its title.
