Do your kids keep you entertained with their back seat dancing?
Are your holiday car journeys full of mayhem and laughter?

Ford are looking for people to take part in a new campaign, celebrating how ‘real people’ use their cars, and we want to hear from you.

Whether you’re always performing your own Car-aoke, arguing about the Sat Nav, or taking the baby for a drive to rock it to sleep – we want to feature footage of real people going about their lives in their cars.

Wouldn't want anyone filming my driving, I don't want to lose my licence. As for SWMBO

With the advent of dash cams now an increasing number of car journeys are being filmed. I saw a programme on tv last night called 'Car Crash Britain' which used dash cam and cycle helmet footage.
It was smashing :lol:

It's fun being a 'fly on the wall' via filmed footage when some unfortunate person is taking 20 shunts to park properly, or someone drives off with the fuel dispenser still attached, or even when there's a bit of road rage ranting.

Scenic drives are good too, though when we go off in the vans we sometimes find we just about get the camera set up when a run of hedges obscures the view!

So – yes – good dashcams are the answer. You may remember we have dashcam reviews online.

They are great for accepting / refusing your insurance claim. , going to fit a second in the rear of the car. Already have one on the back of the caravan. Saw one the other day in a garage for £19. 00 . .my one activates on motion, so if someone hits me whilst parked it videos the area. And hopefully the person.

This weeks episode couldn't resist knocking caravans. Some nutter had a dash cam in his car whilst participating in a caravan-smashing derby, last car moving wins, even if it only was pulling the chassis with the floor on. :silly:

The stock car + caravan destruction derbies have been going on for years Sir WC.
I was interested to see that that particular segment was filmed at Gt Yarmouth stadium which is in North Denes, Caister on Sea.
When I was a kid used to spend our annual two week holiday camping in tents on a small camp site which was right next door to that stadium before a new road was built across our old camping ground.
I spent many happy hours in that area and have some very fond memories to look back on.

I worked at North Denes airfield for about 9 months in 1975 great place and could see the stock car racing for free. As I remember they had the caravan destruction derby on at that time.
On that show even my wife said look at all those spare parts that could have been used by others.

As a kid I'd spend hours by the perimeter fence watching the little Auster 5 aircraft taking off and landing from their scenic trips.
An aircraft that I remember from those days was painted light green with the registration letters G-APTU
I went back to Yarmouth with my (then) future wife in the early 1970s and we took a trip across Yarmouth from North Denes in an Auster tail dragger, unusual in the days of tricycle undercarriages.We also had a great afternoon watching the banger racing when we were there.
I wish that we could have filmed our family pilgrimage to Gt Yarmouth when we travelled overnight from the West Midlands along the A47 in an ancient split screen Bedford CA van chock full of camping gear, kids, in-laws, primus stoves etc;
The kids of today would recoil in horror :evil:

Thanks for the pictures Hutch. (and apologies for straying off topic)
I knew about the incident at Henlow, I wonder if the Auster was written off?
Some years previously another North Denes aircraft on a pleasure flight crashed into a house in Gorleston with fatalities.
North Denes was later used by the natural gas industry as a heliport for their offshore workers.

 

[Hutch]

Yes sorry about straying folks,
Yes that why i was working there on Wessex 60's and later Sikorsky S76, Then Bond bought the airfield and then Bristows, whom I worked for moved to Norwich airport.
Henlow has a nice caravan site, Henlow bridges, open all year, and the garage down the road sell dash cameras, just to get back on thread.
