Shaun brilliant movie, love the soundtrack and the way you edited it. It really captures the great time everyone had.

Great job, you will have to do this for every meet now of course.

Love your new avatar by the way.

Now that video was really cool but too short...lol
With all the videos of driving always posted here, your video captures a bit more of what these meets are all about.
I would love to see another one of these about 10 to 15 minutes long capturing bits of the whole weekend.
Thanks for sharing a most enjoyable but short video.

As for your avatar.... I might have had something to do with changing that....lol

Several of you were asking about the custom armrest / cup holder that I have installed on my Crossfire. This is the basic part that I used.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Console Lid Arm Rest Cup Holder New Part | eBay

The short story is that we (my son and I) then fabricated a flat cover piece to fit the bottom of that armrest part, we removed the silver trim piece from the existing Crossfire center console glove box lid (I actually bought a used glovebox lid to work with saving my original part in whole), shimmed the new armrest unit appropriately for the right overall height and mounted it to the existing Crossfire glove box cover.

Here is it, 5 minutes of "Franc's Friday Dust". Check out the view at 4:25 when we cross the Appalachian Trail !
If you have the bandwidth, set it to HD.

That comes from putting the camera right on the edge of the car like that, on the Triangle video, brush and limbs smack it a few times....

Good catch, I hadn't noticed that.

Hi Carl. Yes, I did pick the music. I do that a lot on my other Crossfire videos. I did speed up the video a bit to compress 40 minutes worth of video to 20. Plus it looks way cooler that way.
