Lost and Found

28/01/2012

Here's the video from part of my first blat ever. It is after collecting the car from Caterham in Dartford once it had been registered. Now, where could one possibly head for in a new car other than... the Dartford Tunnel!

Sadly, a Nissan Micra decided to spoil the fun by, err, well, existing. They do that way too much.

The reason I've taken so long to post this is that I thought I'd lost it. With nothing else to hand, I just stuck my iPhone to the windscreen and hoped for the best. Somewhere in Essex it fell off, which was a shame, and when I looked at the phone there was no sign of the video file. I just assumed I'd ruined it and lost the file, but Richard at the Going Fast Getting Nowhere blog came to rescue by blogging about a file recovery tool for iPhones, and there it was. Thank you, Richard.

Thanks Richard! Yes, I did consider the naughty overtake... but I had (literally) 4 miles worth of experience in the car! It wasn't the moment to play around, it was a "getting to know you" moment :-) We started having fun soon after - check the "First sideways moment" video.

Yay, glad you got it back! Well worth the effort (and now I shall have to watch the others). I would have been tempted to a cheeky undertake when the gap behind the truck on the left opened up, but maybe not on a first outing. She sounds g r e a t.
