STEVE! you're the same warped that used to post on audi-sport.net aren't you?
remember me? red A3 - bodykit and all that - Cosmo cafe Double Bay Thursday nights...
Have you bought a MINI?
Anyhow, the bracket has a big suction cap that sticks to the rear window and the camera is basically placed on the parcel shelf in the centre. It was actually made by one of the other audi-sport guys you may have met.
Yes, it's the DSC light flashing. I know it doesn't look like I'm going that fast, but when you notice that I change into third gear at over 100km/h and how often the DSC is going nuts, you get the idea of how hard I was driving...
I knew it was going off, but I didn't look worried because I'd driven that stretch before with some other S's and I knew what to expect. That and the fact that my DSC light flashes every day
The speedo and tacho are viewable when you watch the footage from the camera onto a TV, but by the time it gets compressed for internet use, you lose the definition.
Am currently investigating another smaller camera that films the gauges and can be edited in with a 'picture in picture' style effect.
Cheers,
Tim
