...just 2 little images (and a video once TT gets it into the vault) to illustrate a point...

We do not need another 2F2F movie... these yahoos do not need any more encouragement...

That vid sucks! Its like a longer version of just staring at the pics at the top of this page for a bit! I thought u meant they tried to drag race off or sumthing!? Still, the Z06 is still sounding mighty sweeet.

LOL - as I said - the video served 2 purposes... ;)

1.) to stare as crap rice... :P

and 2.) to test the motorized pan-head... :P

With this rig I hope to be able to bring some "excitement" to crap-rice viewing... :lol:

It's a hardwired motorized pan-head. I have been struggling to locate purpose-made in-car motorized video mounts.

I know they exist - but no-one is sharing the info of who sells them and what's available... so I made my own (from commercial parts and assemblies).

It is a little bulkier than I would like - but it's a start. I would like to re-gear it to rotate faster though.

But how do you activate it? Via remote control I suppose :D where is it placed? It's damn cool :D

Oh, i didnt realise the motorised pan-head was your own handywork!
In which case i commend you on your efforts! :wink:
It'll need to rotate faster so you can follow the ricers goin backwards quickly when u boot it!
