Simples, vecro circle on the top of the instrument cluster and another on the bottom of the camera   
   
 
 
Sits at a funny angle - plus fancy something a little more secure for when on track - ie a flat base, not over a curved surface. 
 
Though I will use Velcro pads once I've made a bracket

Stick it between the headrest and seat, will be undetectable to the fools in Germany

Card needs to be pushed in until it clicks, then you push it in and it should pop back out. 
 
I got an instruction manual with mine, one side jap one side 'english'

You need to push it all the way in further than flush so it clicks (I have to use something small as I have no nails) 
 
On how to use it, the button closest to the chain turns it on (yellow light comes on) the one closest to the lens if you hold it should make the light flash a few times and you are now recording

Just did a vid, but its jerky on playback and when it jerks the sound goes really quiet for a bit   going to see if it plays better running from comp, if not try and mount it a different way.

mine is 10:31 but uploaded sucessfully, unless it cut off the last 31secs i don't know, I think windows movie maker must have reduced the quality some what, as it went from 1300Mb to 410Mb.

The camera records in AVI format which doesn't use much compression whereas WMM will save to WMV which will compress it more. I remebered last night that I have this program for converting videos which is really good and is free. You can convert to loads of formats including MP4 so the file sizes are reduced a lot.

On another note, I used masking tape to stick it to the thing that my bike speedo clips onto and went for a ride     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znpfcd1BVVs

Interesting. Might be how he saved the WMV or something. Unless it takes longer to process maybe?
