Thanks Mike! I submitted 1,3 and 6.
I've seen some great photos but who knows, maybe I'll make it into 2015 calendar also  :innocent:
 :drinking:

P.S. Hope to see your car in the 2015 calendar also  :happy2:.

Winter mode ON:





It doesn't look that bad with 16 inch rims, does it?

I can't believe it, but the car will be 7 years old this week  :confused:.
Still enjoying it like the first day (well, to be honest, I am enjoying it even more).

Like I've said some time ago, I still have to edit one more video from the 2014 Nurburgring trip.
Unfortunately the software (DashWare) is causing me some problems and the output video is using an encoding not recognizable by youtube. Until they fix the issue here is teaser:

What OBD kit do you have to record the speed / tacho etc, Vlad?

I am working on a product doing just that. It is a GPS tracker connected to the car's on board computer via CAN.
And I've made the dials/gauges myself  :wink:

....I hadn't seen these recent posts when shortlisting your pic for the 2015 calendar but Neil @scopes and I chose #1 independently - You are definitely in! And so is Mike @Tfsi_Mike on his third annual attempt!

We select final pics on the merits of the photo, including print reproduction quality, and irrespective of whether a car has already been published in a previous forum calendar.

Yup, me too!
But I am waiting for DashWare support to give me an advice (I've been waiting for their answers for more than 2 weeks)...

Finally managed to surpass all the obstacles and I managed to upload the video  :pomppomp:



Unfortunately the video quality is a little bit lower than original because I had to do a lot of editing for the encoding to be accepted by youtube (and to rotate the video).
The data you see is gathered every second from the on board computer (CAN) and GPS tracker (the speed is GPS Speed not dashboard speed) and sent via the tracker to the server.
So, it is not 100% accurate but I think it is at least acceptable.
The editing software for the raw data (DashWare) is than making the transition from one second to another.

What do you think?

P.S. After this lap I heard the weird noise I was telling you a few pages back and I noticed that the front left wheel was held by only 2 nuts (one was loose).
Thank God I didn't lose the wheel on this lap  :notworthy: .
