OK, I want to test drive on your "closed course". As soon as i get off this couch (hip repacement) I'm going to find you a horn button in my button drawer.
I like how brave you are backing that beautiful B into the shed. The multi-colors are called patina these days--do not mess with.
If we lived closer to each other we'd " race" ihcs on your course.
Thanks, I even like Roosty!

Thanks for watching. I actually have the horn button but the base plate that it attaches to has a small piece of hard plastic broken out of it and will not hold the button any more. One of these days I hope to fabricate up something to hold it.

I have that steering wheel in my 1933 IHC coupe. It came out of a Travelall.
Is all that road you're driveway? Don

Hey! gotta love another roosty production! I love that gopro camera. and I think it equally cool how you used the other camera to add effect that "way more" puts you right there! very cool effect. I sense the one road is what my Dad would call a "field road", probably not used much by the public. I have the same problem with my horn button attatchment ring. I've been thinking of "casting" JB-Weld into the right shape and reinforcing the cement with steel wool, prior to casting. (when I get to it)

The road that has grass growing in the middle of it is my actual driveway (half a mile), and the wider gravel road is public road. Very little traffic and plenty of room for testing out vehicles.

Gopro has a reputation as one of the best sport cameras on the market. I'd watched their videos and was really impressed. Enough to buy one when future shop had a sale this past winter. The camera is very small but holds a 64 gb card which will hold a lot of video. Dust and water proof housing means it can be used anywhere outdoors, even underwater they claim. I like the wide angle view.

I like the wide angle too. Makes one feel like one is riding in the box like a typical farm kid and looking at the front view through the glass. pretty cool camera. and the side views like you did with the yellow truck, is as if one was riding a trailbike beside you on the road.
