Well, RA...I'll give you an A for Creative Mod!

That vid of the woman get T'd by the panic braker from hell,
gave me the willes. I'm lately avoiding any road with any kind
of traffic, while riding one of my Ms.

I wonder if she was covering the front brake...at least she
had gear on.

You gotta toss up any cool/unusal vids; espc if the saucers
land!

Very nice! Been looking for something like this for a long time.

As the other posters metioned, can you provide more details?

Also, just curious:
- How much (recording time) will fit on the 2GB SD card?
- How does it look at night - can you provide a sample of a recording after dark?

Sounds geeky, I know, but after going to court a few times after witnessing accidents or impaired driving (and watching them get acquitted), it would be nice to have a video...

could you provide some more info on what DVR you used and how you wired/powered the whole setup...this might be a fun thing to add when I start auto-x with the celica.

thanks

For the questions asked, I've updated my first post with more details. And yes I will post interesting footage. Even of green aliens for motorDavid

Nice mod! You should have another camera in back and have both motion activated so that they record even when you park in public parking lots when someone tries to mess with your car.
