It's dangerous to try and drive fast while video taping. Next time have a passenger do the video. We don't want to lose you or the car because of an accident. The video itself is blocky (not clear), you need to get one with better (higher) resolution.
It's nice to have open road to do that. The only place I found that was fairly safe was back at Fye's old house out in the middle of no where Idaho. Not much straight stuff like that northwest of the Cascade Mountains  (well, and not having to worry about police).

or if you are in Wyoming and have a buddy take the pic with the flash at night, be sure to blink as it is snapped to avoid night blindness!  but, i wouldn't know anything about that

Sorry for the quality but I took the video with my mobile phone on my way back after I dropped my wife at work. If I had tried this with her in the car she would have rightly slapped my face silly . We've got quite a few suitable roads in south africa and in contrary to popular international belief, I do not have to shoot my own dinner. This road however was a bit narrow though. I just thought a video should make more sense ... there was a topic on top speed some time ago and one guy told me I was using a drill to turn the speedo.... well..... 
Oh yeaah .... we should all take some vids of our type 3's ... there's not enough around! |

Montana works best. But then a friend of mine hit an Elk there at over 100mph. He survived, the elk and the car didn't

My brother, the T-2 guy up in Washington sent me that picture.

What happened to the video? I can't download it.
I rolled my avatar over all by myself.
Trying to get out of Montana.
Saw a hitchhiker.
Tried to pull over.
Instead I rolled over.  |

Got it.
