Dash Cam Footage
« on: October 21, 2018, 06:55:57 PM »

So, I finally bought a dash cam the other day.  It was only £30 or something and seems to work really well. 

Today I had my first close call when it was running, so I turned it into a movie:

I'm pulling out into a roundabout and two motorcycles decide to overtake me in the roundabout and turn left right in front of me.  The first one was moderately crazy, the second one missed getting hit by inches.  If I hadn't instinctively put on my brakes, she would have eaten the road.  Very naughty!

That's AFTER converting it too a gif on imgur.  It's really high resolution.

By the way, this happened on the way to Taco Bell in Guildford.  I was so ready for a taco I would have seriously not even stopped.  "I'm making a run for the border, get someone else to call you an ambulance!"

That video looks like it was taken from a motorcycle with a cat hammock.  I'm puzzled.

Wow!  Impressive.  What kind of cam is it?  We've been looking.

And yeah, Taco Bell in Guildford?!?!?!?

More detail needed.  I'm afraid to Google any acronyms you suggest

Sure, right opposite Nandos.  Granted I've only been to Taco Bell like 3 times in the last 15 years, but it wasn't all that great.  My kids have grown up with proper burritos from places like Tortilla, so they were not impressed with the unique TB interpretation of Mexican food.  And we were there with a vegan who plainly couldn't eat anything, not even the frozen drink thing.

I did take a picture of the production line for JFKimberley


I would have taken the actual production of a taco but it seemed cruel to take pictures of the workers forced to make that stuff

I just zoomed into that pic and you can actually see the caulk gun they use for the sour cream.  I bet JFKimberley has some stories about that gun.

Do not abuse the sour cream gun... sour cream is for eating, not for making jokes.  Food is serious!  Even fast food.  But, yeah... there were jokes, too.  :P
