Here is footage from yesterday of "The Snake" section on Mulholland. I mounted the GoPro HD camera on the upper/rear rollcage hoop (with the targa top off) so it was exposed to the wind. First time I did that, and despite their instructions the wind buffeting is very evident with the open case back installed. Next time I will try the fully-enclosed case.
(I tried to embed the video but was unsuccessful)

Eric,
Thanks - how did you get it to embed? When I paste the Vimeo embed code, I just see the HTML displayed back.
Awsome, Great Video. I grew up in W.H. and traveled thru those canyons all the time back in the 80's, stunt road to the top of the world was my favorite. My 71 Capri, then my 75 714, brings back lots of good memories.
Keep 'em coming,

Someone needs to do a video like that with an external mic mounted in the engine bay!

It's top *&$^ing secret! I can't run around telling every Tom, Dick and Harry... oh wait a minute, no it isn't.
At the bottom of the text section while posting there's an HTML- Off, HTML - On Raw, etc... drop down. I've heard it may not be available to all. Look for it when posting next time.
It may be an admin only thing though. Andy or Mark can expound on the process.
Cool video.

Yep; one of the downsides of the GoPro is no external mic input. Otherwise I would put the mic someplace better.
I have an Olympus E-P2 that does 720p with a mic input. I wouldn't mount that camera outside the car but I could try it on my interior rollcage mount. I doubt we would actually want the mic inside the engine compartment though -- this puppy is LOUD -- but maybe if the gain could be lowered enough to avoid massive clipping.

what lens is on that thing

The GoPro or the E-P2? GoPro is a fixed ultra-wide. Angle of view is 170 degrees or something crazy like that... I do not have anything nearly that wide for the Olympus (yet).
Great videos Chris!!! My son and I were glued to the monitor.
Thanks!!!

The new GoPros have a mic in slot IIRC. You can't use it with the waterproof door on the case though.

Just like dancin'! Thanks 
Been there, done that !!
I grew up on Mullholland.
Took that drive all the way to the beach three weeks ago.
Watching the video I was on the look out for cops, just like as when I drove it.
Called my wife over to watch the video, she walked away saying she was going to get sick, just like as she felt when we got to the beach.
Cool video

Loved the video 
Maybe attaching some thick fuzzy material (wind sock) on the GoPro's rear cover would help
