I noticed you forgot to pay attention to that stop sign;)

The first one at the bottom of the hill, where I usually stop, or the one at the top of the hill which I normally roll thru? :3DSMILE: :3DSMILE: :3DSMILE:

Really great sound on your vid's!!

The great sounds are compliments of Olthoff Racing. Here is another short clip I took yesterday.

Brake squeal happens with dust buildup, dust buildup occurs from using the thing, that's good! Bonni says your having more fun with that car than most. Good on ya mate!

Warren,

Read first page of this thread.

No wimp involved. I call it cardiac survival. I already had two heart attacks, don't need a third.

The very cold weather causes the body to close up shop and that makes my heart pound harder.

Warren,

I did checkout last night the previous page after I posted. Ever since I saw "Rendezvous" I really love the film verite of riding in a cool car. So I can see where you want to place a mic out of the wind and get the exhaust blast. If you have seen "Rendezvous" (which I bet you all have) the tire squeal is interesting too. Of course in that 12 minute film he averaged something like 120 MPH on the streets of Paris one Sunday morning. Don't try that in that small town!!
Really great vid's overall, though. Thanks Warren.

It was 70 ºF outside during the last ride! Standard "summer" hat and NO gloves! Lovin it! :p :p :p

Pouring rain today ... maybe I'll skip putting the rubbish out until next week. Need an ark soon. But forecast is for sunny sky the rest of the week, low 40's (brrrr), but mid 50's on Friday.

By the way ... what are the titles of your books?

Fred - I've had my new avatar up for a week and no comment from you yet! Do I have to go back to the boring Cobra shots?

i didnt know you could post vids on here. and those are some great ones. i really love the sound.

Since I bought my '67 Mustang in 1971,none of my collector cars ever ventured out in January. Yesterday I went out in my ERA,busted it's winter cherry!!!!!!!!!!!!

At Lime Rock last year I met Dan Cook from Piston Productions which produced the following CD, includes a number of Ford engines:

I contacted Dan , provided the link for this Thread and asked for his comments regarding recording audio from an auto:

Getting a camera with an external mic jack is important. When it comes time for a mic, I use Shure #sm58 models, they are inexpensive, tough, and work well for these applications. Also having a good wind restrictor (fussy thing on mic) is important. I try to locate the mic in the passengers foot well to eliminate wind buffeting. Sometimes it's just trial and error with these things.

I have also seen references to " DAT " recordings ?

The CD recordings for " The Sounds of Goodwood " and " Into the Red ", in addition to the mics in the auto, stationery mics were set up on the track to hear the auto approaching, then directly in front of the mics and finally the sound diminishes , both at full throttle and accelerating in different gears.

" Into the Red'" by Nick Mason and Mark Hales, published by Virgin Books, ISBN 1 85227 225 2. comes with a CD of sounds, some of which were used in " The Sounds of Goodwood ". However, in the past , the CD came with the book only if it was purchased at Amazon UK, not US, not sure if the CD is still included. " The Sounds of Goodwood " CD is no longer available.

After 3 weeks of below freezing temps, it finally got all the way up to 38 ºF this afternoon. Of course, the forecast is for a major snowstorm on Wednesday.

So today was time for a 45 minute ride. Great for HP, terrible for traction.

Videos by Warren. I love this thread! Keep up the great work. They're too short but sweet. :MECOOL:

Here is another video I took today in the balmy 38 ºF weather. Just cool enough to make Tru cringe, and make Ron wish for 118 ºF weather!
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Warren,

If you are enjoying things even half as much as it seems you are, you are one lucky man!

Cheers!
Dave
