Sorry, couldn't help myself, had to do a seperate one for it. The Alfetta at the Lotus Club skid-pan day.
It was great just to be able to take her out and throw her around to try and break the limits with nothing to hit...
...minor problem: Alfettas are almost impossible to unstick.

I messed up the entry into one corner and had to hit the picks, in the corner itself... didn't slide at all, and it was wet. It's the third pic down.

Depends on how it turned out. I've got to get the footage off the bloke that took it yet.

Do the headrests come off? 'cause if you want nice stable in car footage like what you get in WRC coverage... I discovered something last week.

what I do is pull out the passenger side headrest slide the plam strap through it and put it back... having the camera held in between the seat... it gives this nice eye level view though the windshield.

I filmed my drive home from Uni with the Trooper... so I know it works... nothing worth uploading though unless you want to watch 50min of crawling through Girdlock :P

Not really, they seem to be jammed in place and won't go up or down. The gap between them and the seat is pretty wide though... so if I got desperate I guess I could wedge the camera between and bind it up with a bit of gaffa tape :P

We've got some footage somewhere of the road along the top of the lake near Lusseurne (I can't spell it) in Switzerland. Should dig it out...

Damnit Wes! Stop putting these in scraps! This is completely righteous, and I wanna fave it!
Much respect to you for pointing out your own goofs, too. You got a lot of class in my book, honey. :peace:

Well, if you don't recognize your own goofs then you're not going to know what to fix next time...
...besides, that's the whole point of a skid pan day (apart from having a total blast) isn't it? Go and goof off where there's nothing to hit and lots of people to watch you do it ;P
