Good thing we have a 57 Chevy with lots of room
dont leave home without mine. i use it to watch movies get maps music. with about 1000 songs on i can link it to my car stereo and never have to change cd or worry about what radio station i can get. Plus it help to have when you fill up your camera and cam corder, dump it and take lots more pics.No matter where you go you can always find a internet connection
Yup, am taking my macbook pro as thats what is being used to record from the 3 video cameras that will be on the car. I will also have a 750gb back up drive as at 13.5gb an hour per camera im gonna need a lot of storage lol
Am also taking my Canon EOS 400D and lenses
here are the mounts we have for the cameras
lmao
Holy Crap Chief, when you read your list of cars owned, it definitely does not indicate total electronics geek! :o
LOL what can i say, This year is a trial run for next year, i havnt even driven my car yet and i know we are gonna need more power than the old dyno can produce but funds didnt run to a big alternator.
I also have my tomtom and one of the other guys is brining his laptop as well, he actualy works for the company that makes the vbox and he might be brining some other bits but with an old car we are limited to what we can datalog.
I got the inverter installed in the trunk yesterday with a power strip coming out from under the back seat of the Chevelle. Good for keeping cell phones, camera (Canon 40D), Laptop all juiced up. Good thing I did the 105 Amp alt. upgrade this past Winter...
I don't own a laptop-ergo I'll be out of touch starting Sun. afternoon (our takeoff time).
most hotels have a computor in the lobby so you are never really out of touch
