In effort to build on an existing thread and simplify future searches, is there now a system that has become the clear choice in the two years since this thread was started?  My criteria is Reliability.  Simplicity. Cordless cameras not subjectable to hacking,  High image resolution. Outside weather proof. Recall images days later. Cell phone alerts for after hours activity.  No on-going fees.  At this moment, who's product is a best choice?

I have been through this a few times - think you also need to have a view of how you want the camera to function

1 - constant recording (like most shops have), this really rules out battery
2 - one you are/disarm manually (eg like you house alarm, active when you are out)
3 - automatically arming (motion or geofencing), can be a pain in high traffic areas
4 - other

For me, the Geofencing was critical (my cars are in a separate shed, wanted the alarm to automatically disarm when my mobile was close, auto arm when I am away). Not many do this, I have an old system (Kidde RemoteLync) of 4 cameras that works really well but not 2K video and the batteries last around a month), recently upgraded to a new Arlo system (good quality but OS is a little flaky and you need to subscribe to keep videos)

For your situation - maybe the EufyCam2 comes with a 365 day battery, indoor only but seems to be getting some good reviews

Its a moving target though, new stuff coming out all the time

cheers

I agree with most, to me 65/66 is where it is at, no interest in the later ones

I had always planned to trade my 66 for a 65 when the opportunity arouse (simply put, the 65 started it all - the parent) - but when it came down to the $ I found it hard to justify from the perspective of what I would be doing in the car. I do look after my 66 and am careful where I park but I still get it out for a drive as often as I can (its a driver, not a show car)

I just could not see me doing that with a 65, too much stress etc - my solution was to enjoy the 66, have a 65R clone for track days and a poster of a 65 to dream about 

cheers

I do like this quote

You almost get the impression that the MR2 is really ambivalent as to whether you make it

I thought more would respond, of course color matters... Everything matters in life. 4

Agree, also think its changed over time

Early days, ex rentals were seen as a 2nd choice (so painting the black cars was a thing) - then it went the other way (mine is originally an Ivy green, was painted to black/gold in the 80s by a previous owner), to now where originality is seen as the most important

If/when I do a full resto, will take it back to Ivy purely because it is rarer/original (although I do admit, I find the black/gold combo hard to beat)

Note sure I fully understand your points, but my 2c

I have no issue with clones/tributes as long as everyone is honest with what it is (ie not trying to pass it off as the real deal)

I have both, prefer the clone for track/fun as its a lot less stressful 

cheers

In the old forum I posted the pic from the movie (in the "Shelby's in the movies thread" of the car catching fire) - and the actual owner of the H in the movie chipped in and explained that their real car was used for the normal shots and a quick/dirty clone was used for the fire shot.

I know you are after history the of that scene (in terms of "was is based on a true story")  - he is a member here (can't remember who sorry) but maybe he has some more of the back story given he was somewhat involved in the movie

cheers

trying with another article

edit - still uploading with reduced quality/size 

OK - file size gets reduced to the point that its not readable (and I cant work out how to fix - will post on our FB group)

All

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I picked up a bunch of car mags (1966) - looking for Shelby ads/stories to decorate the man cave

3 Page article (hopefully the quality is still OK)

cheers

Also noticed that a new documentary "Shelby American" just appeared on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81218074

Coming soon to a Ford dealer near you, the new Mustang Mach-WT (Work Truck), the new Mustang Mach-DV (Delivery Van), the new Mustang Mach-L (Limousine), and the highly anticipated Mustang Mach-SB (School Bus). And... (we can't forget the farmers)... the new Mustang Mach-T (Tractor).

Finally, a Mustang for every purpose! Why waste a good nameplate on stupid "pony" cars?

Wait till SA get hold if it - the GT120 (and us in AU will get the GT240)

Same - enjoyed it (big screen) and this weekend we will do the "drive in" with the cars

Probably mentioned already, but the Netflix doco "24 Hour War" is worth watching - covers a little bit before/after the movie and some great interviews with some living (and sadly, some passed) greats

I have no idea what that is?

looks great, interesting that the speedo is in KPH

on dealer signs - I picked this up some time ago

Evidently it was a dealer sign, can't be sure of course - but seems well made and has ford embossed in the metal sides-  regardless, lights up the cave nicely

is pretty large - 10ft x 2ft approx
