Holding Pattern

For a little something different, a friend / coworker is stationed overseas. He had his Honda Civic at Nurburgring over the weekend. 128 mph and passed four cars.

 

There was a moment where I thought I was gonna roll. How far did you make it up the hill

 

That would be my ultimate bucket list item to drive on an F1 Grand Prix track. Ideally with something more exotic than a civic, but I have to say, that one looks pretty well setup.

 

Not far enough lol.

 

It is. He bought the top model and did a bit of work to it before he left and shipped it overseas. I had a chance to some laps at the MIS driving school a few years back. That was surprisingly different than what I expected. Narrow fields of vision, incredible horsepower, and quite the safety brief, including the "push here in case of fire" demonstration.

 

I know, I know mine didn't leave the inside of the truck...nor did I even open the GoPro case to use that little ditty

 

At night the lighting is pretty terrible honestly. The pictures wouldnt have done any justice to the situation

 

Gotcha, I see how that area could get dicey when soggy. It was already a bit leany when dry lol

 

I mounted my Gopro and never turned it on. I was supposed to be practicing for our trip west.

 

Does your truck have the go pro mount on the windshield?

 

Does yours mount to the windshield as well? Do all 3rd gens have GoPro mounts?

 

No, not all 3rd gens have Gopro mounts

 

Yes, it does, but I didn't get it when I had it replaced so I have the Gopro mount with 3M tape. Until I have to get it replaced again.

 

Just the cool ones.

Edit: mine doesn't have one!

Greg, I have your hat that I found in my truck. It's packed with my camping gear for the next trip.

 

True...but it makes off-road lighting an even higher priority. Plus I realized of the vehicles out there, only Chris had any auxiliary lighting!

Of course I got out to Rt.600 and realized I didn't take a single pic or video, even after doing the double check that I had the gopro and the mount to put it on the DMM for a few laps around the pasture.

 

If we hadn't been going for the hill climb, I would have had my truck with lights and a winch and recovery boards. I considered breaking camp and bringing it to the top of the hill until Nick made it back.

Maybe next time we should break out the radios. I had mine and also never turned it on.

i think these guys need help learning how to use a winch

 

That was brutal.

 

Great photos! Glad the ratchet strap saved the day, and at least some documented "mud on truck" photos!

 

Holy crap! Start at 25:00 to see the front bumper come off
