Hi all,

On Saturday I recorded a 0-to-100km/h go of my bella, not pushing that hard (up to 6.500rpm), in a slight downhill, trying at the same time to hold in place the camera on the steering wheel.
Since you are all so nice, I thought I could share this with you :D

Download the 3.6MBs zip file of the quicktime video (28sec, 640x480, Sorenson Video 2 codec).
(you can use SAVE TARGET AS on the link)

I ju :D st wonder how you hold the camera, shift and steer at the same time :) </strong><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I used a Canon A300 Powershot, placed on the steering wheel, while I was holding the steering wheel with my left hand, keeping the camera steady with my thumb and pointer finger, shifting with the right hand....

Now that I think about it, I should have filmed myself instead! :D (after all I went through all this trouble).

Anyway, I 'll figure out a way to position the camera in such a way that all the dials (including revs) are visible.
