Decided to go for a blat this evening in the sunshine and decided to attach the DVD camcorder to get some footage of a typical blat just in case I ever sell / destroy the car.....
Started the camcorder, went for a 20 min blat (max recording time on HQ) including some tail-out slidey action, got back, put the car in the garage, went to watch the footage, only to find the seat cover must have nudged the on / off switch after 2 mins so all I recorded was the drive up to the twisty bits
Still, the drive was good fun!!!

Oh well!!!

Better than I imagined from the title and build up.
I thought either put it in a hedge or camera fell off

It's still light, get back out there

Well I did almost drop the camcorder on the way back!!!!
I was tempted to go for another blat when I discovered the problem but I'm heading out with the folks tonight and I haven't got any time for blats until Sunday now
Oh well, Youtube will continue to have no hits for "PanEuro Locost" until then!!!

BenB,
If you used a DVD Recorder (not tape) then chances are the DVD disc recording head was vibrated away from the disc (or even hitting the disc). If you are lucky you will be able to use the disc/recorder again, if not - a new recorder you will need. DVD disc recorders are very fragile....
