I thought it might be time to post something on Christmas Presents and I saw this as an idea for somebody who has everything.

I do like that one! ;D
I saw PEN 15 on a Merc years ago.
I'm not sure if that is real or fake I checked the number via the valuation button on Parkers Guide and it could not find that reg number. Then again that could be precisely because it is a cop car?
You could be right about fake - if not he needs to nick himself cos he only has one working headlight!
Well you seem a little short on Christmas ideas so I am going to post a BUNCH. Oh yippee I hear!

I wonder if it handles wind noise better than a GoPro? Mine is useless at high speeds.

I think they all are, the only solution is to plug in external mic into the camera and put it in the footwell or somewhere with little wind. Is there anywhere on the ASBO with little wind? ;D ;)

Good point Phil!! I'm not sure tbh. I'll have to experiment though I'm not even sure my very old original Hero 1 can take an external mic? I have for now put some foam in the back of it (saw the idea on youtube) which has helped a fair bit.
Its the wind that is the problem not the camera. No remote is possible in mine so I pop a digital recorder in my top pocket inside my jacket out of the wind. So long as you can sync sound and vision by a clap in front of the camera and the recorder you would never know they were recorded separately.
Also you get good engine sound by strapping the camera onto the nose-cone. There is enough vibration induced to give you authentic sound.
Now back to the Christmas gift thread you naughty boy.
