I made a brief vid of me driving with the camera under the driver's seat so you can only see .. my feet and the pedals. Anyway, it's about 18 megs and YES it's a manual car cause there's no point in watching an auto pedal driver....

Also, here's a little nifty thing I made with a Honda emblem my cousin gave me.

Seriously, that's tight, yo.

You should learn to heal-toe.

Are you guys even watching the vid? sad.gif
dinomite
Yeah I watched it; it's cool, but lacking without the road view as well.

Don't worry. Most people I assume when they buy cars they want to fix it up or buy soem nice rims and rubber for them. Me? When I get my car I'm gonna invest in camera mounts and... cameras. One pedal view, one gauges view, one bumper view, and one inside-centre view. Ok, 4 cameras. biggrin.gif I love watching myself or others drive and then analyizing what they do or I do and try to improve/learn whatever technique they use and mold it into my own styling.

Yeah, haha, my socks were really long so I had to roll them down.

Phix, why the fuck you made me download that? now I'm gonna have to kill you... sorry.

^It was pretty self-explanitory what it was. tongue_orig.gif That, and clarkma made me one with him and his GTi so I felt like I owed him.

But I don't care about your feet, phix :(

Speaking of the vid I made for him, here it is:

http://www.bigpenguin.org/Videos/PhixVid.wmv

reasons why it's better than Phix's video:

A) It's not a .mov, it's a .wmv
B) It's not 18 megs, it's 6 megs
C) It's not hosted off yousendit

Heel-toe is still somewhat difficult for me. I can almost never heel-toe without jerking the car a litle bit. I guess it's my foot arrangement.

What is heel-toe? I've driven a manual like once, so I don't really know much beyond the basics. whistle.gif

Driving a manual without knowing how to heel & toe in a proficient manner is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge obstacle to your driving enjoyment.

Any of you who don't know how would be wise to master the technique.

My feet are too big to heel and toe wink.gif

Heel and toe? You should try it in my Polo - to quote a fellow Polo GTi owner:

"You can't do heel & toe in the Polo GTi anyway, due to the way drive by wire works.

As a "Safety Feature" the VAG group of companies decided that if the accelerator and brake were pressed at the same time, the "user's" foot had obviously slipped when braking, so to help the poor "user" out, they thought it'd be a good idea for the ECU to cut the throttle when this happens!"

Sucks mad.gif
