A video of my '86 blu sera in Fairhaven (Bellingham) WA last summer. [ame]www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzKMcaNr0a0[/ame]
I actually posted my own 328 video on Youtube the other day. It's my first GoPro video so it's not great, but I was surprised with the decent sound quality. I ran into a lot of traffic on the back roads, and because of the camera mount placement, I got a lot more of the roof than I would want. Anyway, I'm curious what you guys think of it. Don't be too harsh! https://youtu.be/3lOlLd63E48
AJS: I liked the vid, even though the camera angle did give the feeling of being in a non-existent back seat. The big plus was the total absence of idiotic music. the exhaust note is music enough. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you! I agree that unnecessary music spoils a lot of vids. These cars sound great so there's no reason to add any more sounds. I have been fiddling with the camera mount and I think the next time the view will be better. I didn't like how the rear view mirror blocked the cars in front of me. It made it look like I was going slow on purpose. Haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thank you, but it's not my video, just my car. Video taken by Tucker Fellows, a young Bellingham car enthusiast and photographer who spotted it parked while my wife and I were having coffee. He waited for us to return to the car and asked if he could take a some still photos and the video. It's an Nov 86 build, always in the PNW, originally delivered in OR, then to WA, and now BC.
I liked your "no music" video. So many videos have music that immediately sounds dated, superfluous, and masks the aural pleasure of the car. The 328's engine sound will not become dated and is integral to the driving pleasure. Unfortunately, the inside mirror does detract from the sense of being in the car and the view of the world from inside a 328. I enjoyed the video and look forward to seeing your next instalment. Jon
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I will definitely try to make the camera angle better next time. As they say, watch this space.
I shot another video during a short cruise last night in my 328. It's dark, the image stabilization is marginal, and the sound quality isn't as good as the first video, but I think the camera angle is better this time. This GoPro thing is a learning process. Let me know what you think. https://youtu.be/HCldRAjHcFY
Good to see a night driving video. Your revised camera placement works well. This is an old link on YouTube that has a good forward view with the inside mirror removed, although would be nice to see more of the shifter [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a96DwxLmWzg[/ame]
Thanks! I actually prefer driving my car at night. The roads are less crowded and I love the look of the pop-up headlights. The obvious problem is the lighting. I think if I can find a nice, smooth, well-lit road/highway that it could actually make for a cool video. And I figured out a way to zoom in during the editing process which will make the daytime videos with the new camera placement even better. Thanks again for the feedback.

I like to take a look at this thread from time to time as I never get tired of watching 328s but now I have a few questions. The "mourning" black logo with the birth and death dates of Enzo Ferrari and the Berlinetta Boxer paint scheme are original?
I think my camera placement is a little better this time. Let me know what you think. https://youtu.be/XmNY-6MWLf0
Alright! Like that you can see the full road / windshield, steering wheel and shifter. Thought I was riding shotgun. Nice road to drive too. Cheers Jon
Chester's okay - but only if you're just passing through! I used to work just up the road, at the Boeing plant.
Okay, I think you guys may like this one. I shot another short video of my car today with the GoPro mounted on the driver side of the engine lid and the microphone inside of the engine bay. The sounds from the engine seem to be more pure than what you hear in most videos, and there's no wind noise. The car has a Hyper-Flow cat, but other than that the exhaust system is stock. Let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy it! https://youtu.be/VMHIwmnIinE
