Spirited drive to work

I put the go pro on the front of the bug the other day for my drive to work and something amazing happened. No traffic for half the drive. Near the beginning when I'm about to pull on to the highway you can see a white 510 zip past (nemesis!), I've had fun with him in the past on the way home so I was trying to catch him. I did finally hit traffic on the down hill side but it's still a nice drive. You can also thank a leaky exhaust gasket near the muffler for the poppy exhaust.

So yeah, this is my drive to work over the mountain, and I get to do this every day. It's quite literally like taking a lap around the Nurburgring only with more corners and elevation changes, not to mention the micro climates.

I'm using a 16gb sdhc memory card and I set the camera to shoot in 720p-60fps. I found that to be the best viewing angle and the high frame rate looks very crisp.

Hi

That looks like a fun way to start or finish the day, not many chances for overtaking if you get stuck behind a slow car.

I've been looking at these go pro cameras, what lens are you using?

Steve

this is the stock protective case and lense that comes with it. Depending on the video mod you shoot it it gives different viewing angles. In the 720p 60fps mode you get the widest 170* viewing angle which is what I've shot all my videos in.
