Dave - Thanks - glad I can be of help to all my fellow shut-ins. The 11 O'clock news just got over. Supposed to get 5 to 8 inches of snow ... then it turns to rain (up to 4 inches), and then the temperature drops and everything freezes solid!
Guess I'll have to cut back on my rides this month.
Waterman - I don't see no stinking double lines! Those are "alignment helpers" like the big black line at the Bonneville salt flats. Just a little helper to keep it straight which is sometimes tough when you are hard on the brakes. The dash mounted camera does NOT relay the actual speed of the Cobra.
NC427SC - just watch out when staring at those photo's. You don't want to go blind, do you? Well, maybe at least until you need glasses?

It was up to 55 ºF today, but it was overcast. So I took a short 15 mile drive. The clouds were getting darker so I did not go too far. Took another movie of the last 2 mile ride home! But the size was bigger than the maximum allowable on You Tube.
So I used a trial offer editing software to shrink the size, but it added the "advertisement" to the top.
Went thru the really expensive part of Squantum. But the streets over there in horrible condition. Multi-million dollar homes with 25 cent roads!
Mickmate - I just ordered 2 sets of brake pad shims (teflon coated metal plates) that go between the back of the pads and the caliper pucks in the Wilwood brakes. Maybe one of these days I'll take off the tires and add the shims - Wilwood said that will stop the brake squeak. Sometimes its like dragging your fingernails across a blackboard!

Here is another video of a drive on Feb 23rd. Posting it now because it was over the 100 MB limit of YouTube when I took it. So I used the trial offer editing software to reduce its size.
Supposed to get up to 62 °F tomorrow! I can feel my next ride coming in the near future!

The temp got up to about 55 °F today so I went for a ride. Only went about 20 miles which was just enough to get the blood flowing.
Second video of todays ride. Can anyone tell me why the audio on You Tube is about 4 to 5 seconds behind the picture? Its like an old Japanese movie with terrible dubbing!

Ya gotta try this!!
I activated all three video's at the same time and it was just terrific. sounded like I was out on the road with a couple of buddies going for a cruise.
Ya gotta try it!!!
Not up to your standards, Warren, but here's a video test of my camera mounted to the dash. The video is OK, but the audio leaves more than a little to be desired. The Velcro mount sounds like I'm playing castanets or something. I'll have to look into one of those Sticky Pod suction cup mounts.

Yep, it's an AOD. I messed up my left leg a few times, so a manual wasn't an option if I wanted to drive a Cobra.
I do try to be cautious on the neighborhood streets because there are a lot of young kids in the area. I even "sort of stop" at most of the stop signs (unlike some of us here).
You'll notice that I did wind it up a little bit once I got to the 4-lane.
Also, I didn't make a whole lot of friends in the general area by testing my rear tires' contact patch doing burnouts in the driveway a few times. One lady said the tires squealing (not the engine) scared her and asked if I would please not do it anymore. She lives about 500 yards away as the crow flies. She's cute, so no more burnouts in the driveway.
At least I have "the sticker" on the back of the Cherokee in my driveway.

Warren, I recognize those roads; in the Blue Hills between Milton and Quincy. I went to school in the area and had alot of fun on and off the roads in those hills. On the road, in my '68 Z28 . . . and off the road . . let's just say way off the road!
Nice video's. . . thanks
Matt
