That's @oneshot's Esprit on a photoshoot we arranged for EVO magazine, atop a snowy mountain in Wales.

Took the Esprit for a trip down memory (Potash) lane! 😁

Partly inspired by Harry Metcalf's impending Turbo HC video (can't wait!) I thought I post my engine audio recording tests ahead of filming Kawasaki's new road bike range next month. The S1 hasn't a complete cabin interior, so it's especially loud currently, and with temporary instrumentation.

Sounds great. What did you use and did you take any recordings of revving it out?

I just quickly rigged up a simple radio mic and audio recorder combo, with initial headphone monitoring. The Zoom recorder has its own onboard mics for the cabin audio, and the GoPro camera has its own audio of course, but that's rubbish. I didn't see the need to fit the foam shield to the Zoom mics.

However, the microphone in the engine bay had a homemade foam muffler made from an Ursa Foamie. As the Sony EC-88 omni-directional lavalier mic capsule is bare and very sensitive (£400 alone, and compatible to a Sennheisser MKE-416 super cardiod 'boom' mic). It didn't require an additional full 'fluffy'.

On a motorcycle next month I will replace the radio set up for a direct wired omni-directional mic, such as the Boya or Rode, which is small and has its own Rycote style 'fluffy'.

Afternoon folks - I commissioned drawings of my two cars awhile ago and have just received the finished artwork and am proper chuffed with the results and thought some of you might like to see! 
Adam Gompertz is the artist - @revseventandart / historiccarart.net 😁

Tis indeed my car taken on the car park of the Pondarosa Cafe in December 2008 as Bibs said for a magazine shoot.

34 years to the day after it rolled off the production line.

Anyone we know?

It is crazy. I drove for the first time with the Esprit on Feb 15 and 15 ° C ... the climate changed for sure.
