Mein camcorder.

Purchased myself a delightfull HD camcorder recently. Thought itd be cool to capture some of the things I do with the car.

Was looking at the GoPro's and 20twenty HD camcorders. These are primarily helmet/motorsport camcorders but I wanted to be able to film other stuff too like other events I go to. I love watching well-edited videos on the net so thought itd be cool to get a little handycam to start me off, perhaps making a few cuts of my own!!

Its nothing hardcore but these things arent cheap, I bought a Sony HDR CX105-E, along with a fast-films.co.uk suction mount for sticking to my glass or body panels.

Pretty happy with it, nice quality image and the setup seems to be pretty good from what I tried so far. Although my PC can barely run the 1080p videos this camera can record. Might make editing a bit tricky in the future...

Anyway here's some dire iphone pictures ive taken of it, perhaps a DSLR should be next on my list to get!!

Sticker Collecting.

Been a bit of a sticker whore/collecter recently. To the point i'll have too many if I stuck one of each on my car!

Recieved yet another packet in the post from the US this morning. This time from Andy Sapp. 

I think its funny how whenever ive ordered stickers, ive got alot more than I actually order. Either the guys sending them are in a rush, or they appreciate the overseas support. I hope its the latter.

No problem, no problem at all..

Progress Report.

Again, its been a while since my last update. Mainly as ive been working away and the car is in transit on a cargo ship at the moment, so not much going on really!

I was sent a few more pics of the car while it was waiting at the docks to be loaded onto a boat..

Spotted some goodies which werent listed in the auction sheets which is cool. Im happy with the rest of it all too. The bumper looks totally haggered, but theres nothing some tampering (zipties) wont fix!

Liking the seat too, thinking of switching it to the passenger side, so I can have a fixed back bucket seat for the driver. Having a reclineable passenger seat will be ideal, making life easier stacking tyres into the back.

Car is currently passing round the bottom of Singapore. Its aboard a beast of a vessel called "Don Pasquale", which I think is a totally badass name for a boat. Being a seafarer myself by trade I know of a few sites where you can track boats all over the world. Pictures and current locations can be found here (by searching "Don Pasquale") - http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/

Boat is due to arrive around the first week in April - im stoked!
