~30MB Quicktime <- (it's a link, click it)

Route 17 between Hanksville and Waitsfield, the App Gap. <- (another link)

My car is a Cooper (not S). The video starts at the top of the gap (since I was stuck behind a very slow car on the way up), goes down the "north" side, turns around to go back to the top and then down the "south" side to the Mad River Glen parking lot. I recognized the guy in the blue jacket walking towards the road at the very end, so I stopped to chat.

The camera mounting was super low tech. I stuffed it under the headrest of the passenger's seat. Next time, I'll try to aim it a little more straight ahead. I thought it would be good to not get the A pillar in the shot, but the angled view is probably more distracting than the pillar would have been.

Nice sunday drive. All we have to do now is get you to wind that engine to 5000 Plus RPM. Bring your speed upto 75-80mph plus and get those tires to scream in protest.

Looks like you had fun.
Are you going to the Kingston Ontario meet in Sept? It will only take you a couple of hours to get there from where you are.

This is the web address for info Hope to see you there:
