It was such a lovely evening here yesterday that I decided to go for a drive. On my way out of the door I spotted my GoPro, which has so far only been used for things like skiing and wake boarding, gathering dust on a shelf. I thought I'd have a bit of a play, and ended up recording a TON of footage. As the shot composition and angles are a bit trial and error (I'm saving up for the GoPro 3 which allows you to use an iDevice as a viewfinder), most of the shots are a little off (too much car/sky/road), but I've got some good reference points for any future filming now.
A couple of good/interesting videos that did fall out of the evening are below. The first is a film of the reactive braking system - I was always a bit dubious about if this actually existed (if a tree falls in the wood and no one hears it, does it make a sound?!) but here's the definitive proof!
The second (upside down) video is of my stock exhaust note with a heavy right foot and some engine braking. There are a couple of pops and bangs in there too, which sound SWEET!

Before you all get excited, YES, I know my car needs a clean. This was a spur of the moment thing, solely used as a camera test!
