Found one on ebay. Didn't have to buy the whole kit either.

 

There was a pretty good turnout at the Jordan Show Saturday... I have a ton of pics uploaded here:

Here's a few teaser pics...

 

New photography / video toy arrived :-) A waterproof / shockproof wireless camera that is small and can mount almost anywhere. Records video or stills - I can see endless possibilities for this thing!

Just did 3 quick 3 clips with the camera mounted on a 700rwhp Z06... the thing I like most is how easy it is to setup and use.

I have a 'pro/director' style heavy camcorder vehicle mount and it's awesome but is a little time consuming to setup for my HD camcorder. With this thing it's just stick, click, and go!

Here's a quick video with no editing except speeding it up (6x).

Clip 1 - Mounted on the drivers' side rear bumper, driving through wet fog on my way to work; video
Clip 2 - Mounted center 'high' on the windshield, quick drive around town at lunchtime; video
Clip 3 - Photo-every-2-seconds mode, then combined into stop-motion video (clips @ .125 seconds each)

The sound is messed up in this sped up version of the 1st two clips, but sounds fine at 'real' speed - so next time I'll add some music to all the clips like I did on the last clip...

I also didn't play with the low vs. high sensitivity settings for the audio either - this was truly plug-n-play experiment.

 

Well guys I'll see you all in a few months. I'm on my way to basic training now. Well I will be in a a few hours anyway. I'm headed to the airport now and surfing the web on my phone, lol. Some of you knew that I joined the Air Force so that I could finish school. I'll be at Lackland AFB for the next few weeks. Oh well, I'll catch you all later!!

 

Was anyone at PTAP last week for their cruise in after the Jordan Show? There was a few muscle cars there...

was that mach 1 driven by a blonde woman?? if so ive seen it out at britt david one night.

 

Hey guys, I just wanted to let everyone know about the car show coming up on Saturday, April 11. It is at the Georgia State Farmers Market (corner of Victory Drive and 10th Ave) The show is free to enter and free to spectators. Its from 10:00am to 3:00 pm.

 

Saw a red magnum P.I. ferrari on JR Allen today when I got off work. Also saw a black SRT8 Challenger at sonic this weekend. What's the story on the Mach?

 

mach sounded like it had a pretty radical cam, with a decent exhaust note. belive it has a 351. didnt seem like it had too much when they took off in it though, but could be mistaken. so sheik, you make it back over to craigs this week??? ive been in the field all week.

 

Got the doors and fenders primered, I will finish priming the rest of the car and all trim pieces tomorrow.

 

No, I didn't know he was working on it. I was under the impression he was doing EIB.

 

I take it you got it in the skills shop?

 

I've seen the mach cruising, it seem to have a radical cam when I heard it.

 

Nice pictures guys! i wanted to go but i had to work

 

Got the thermostat changed and cleaned the grounds that I could find. I'm going to get some o2 sensors and look to see if I can find any more grounds. I'm also going to check the voltage when I replace them.

 

had another person tell me they had the same problem with an LT1 car burning out the O2's and he said he ended up going to GM and picked up some sensors from them and it quit doing it. not sure which brand you are running, but its an idea.

 

Cool, I'll put the word out. Will be out of town that weekend but hopefully you'll have a good crowd.


Who owns the black Lambo Gallardo? I saw it Friday afternoon.


I went to B'ham this weekend to www.barbermotorsports.com for the IRL Indy Car practice session and got some cool pics (yep, got some of Danica Patrick)... I had a media / press pass so was able to get some pretty unique perspectives. Check out the pics and lemme know what you think:

A few of my favs:


They had a crew of 5-7 guys washing EVERY trailer there!



Barber has an awesome museum:



Early morning light behind one of the trailers:



My first try at a 'tiled' panorama/composite - I think I used about 12 shots and stitched them together for this one. I cropped it to end up with a 31 megapixel image; still might need to correct some of the distortion a bit:



On Saturday they had about 7,000 in attendance and had a car corral / car show area with a few cool rides:



One for Mustang guys:



Quick action shot:



Heavily processed 30 megapixel sweeping corner panorama:



Oops...



I thought this was pretty cool, a 'person sized' rod/piston sculpture carved right out of a tree...



Up close and personal:



Danica's car:



Unique perspective; inside a LIVE pit lane:



Couple of quick candids of Danica (I still have a bunch more to go through and edit/upload):





Lemme know what you think; the full gallery of pics is here:

Yea I've tried gm and it didn't help. Going to go to Jay on thursday and have them hook up the tech 2. Hopefully it will tell me more. I really want to know if I got a miss and any additional info on the o2's.

 

sounds good man. cant wait to see that beast out on the weekends again.

 

Anyone else goto the concert at the civic center last night?
