I'll take some pics of the scenic countryside in New Hampshire.

You can look it up on a map program and see the course. Its all two lane blacktop thru old rustic densely wooded countryside with lots of fun turns ,hills and variegated scenery like streams,lakes,ponds and all manner of trees and the ubiquitous stone walls from centuries ago.

I like the lip on your wheels. I think New Hampshire is perfect for a sunday drive. Have fun and make sure to stop and take lots of pics!

Beautifull place too but this was Greenfield,NH ,its above Wilton and Francestown,NH

As i look these over i;m struck by the complete absence of other traffic. I encountered so few other cars and no lawmen ,it was Heavenly:D

Dammit, I'm jealous!!

We have 1 dual carriageway overe here, about 3 miles, and a 40 mph speed limit..

The biggest main road we have otherwise is the "5 Mile Road"..
As the name suggests, 5 miles of this:

Did you have the cam on some fitted holder? I took a few vids but they were unwatchable , far too shakey.My cam has a threaded input on the base, if i could find something to fit on the dash or windshiled i'd be set. Your car sounds healthy!I'll try and get up and enjoy those roads more for you :)

Cheers :D
Yea, when my old man moved away, he left a few old bits of his photography gear in the loft (nothing too decent though lol)
This is what I used:
Its like a little G-clamp, with a swivel head on a little arm, and a screw mount on the end..
Pretty funky really, although I've had to mount it where the centre dash vent is, also had to put a piece of wood the 'tray' side, to stop it crushing the dash.
Only other place I could find was clipped to the open sunroof - but wind noise is an issue at anythong more than 15mph, cant hear anything else
