Very cool, and you let someone drive your car!
Love the switchback LED's in the front turn signals - super bright.

you can even hear the door buzzer...

The exhaust makes it look cold because it was 10deg C.

Well yesterday I went on a Bundee Run organised by Barry C.

Here is part of the run over a spectacular looking road-bridge.

Man what a great sound! Did you use a remote mic? My only suggestion would be to eventually ditch the stock fan for an electric and eliminate that sound.

Right now this is the only way I'm getting my Roadster fix...

On that last video I'm tempted to say "Remember the Night Rider!" (The Road Warrior)

Hi Greg,

Yes I was using a remote mic with wind sock just on the engine side of the base plate of the air filter.

Good idea about the fan noise, I wasn't sure what to do about that sound.

I am not sure about your last comment?

I was noting how dim I was getting the movie that I was referencing to wrong. Ya see, there are a lot of motorcycles in the Mad Max movie, the leader being the now dead Night Rider, and, and... Aw forget it!!! :lol:
