How do you guys secure them to the car? I tried a camera mounted on a sucker to the windscreen, but I couldn't get a stable picture as the windscreen vibrated too much.

Mine fits on the screen, which doesn't vibrate. The problem I have is wind noise. This was my first film Posted on TM a long time ago. https://youtu.be/857K1ge-DaU

I've been using a Mobius camera in my daily driver for the last two years. I've installed it behind the rear view mirror in a fit a forgot manor. It's been excellent to date. I've not got around to installing one in the Morgan as I can't think of a suitable discrete fit and forget solution.... This is one, it's about the size of a small matchbox: http://www.carcamerashop.co.uk/mobius-action-camera-dash-cam-version.html

How frequently do you lot have accidents that you are gearing up for them full time?
My worry would be that the evidence thing works both ways - the camera is evidence of speeding for plod to use. So a brake lights fails, you get pulled over and plod says " we'll have a look through that" " Aha- 55 in a 50 limit!"

I agree though, I've thought the same about mine and would be keen for it to go missing under the wrong circumstances.

I've played around with one but the wiring is a pain so I don't bother.
I think that Kia (?) provide one fitted in at least one of their cars now.

For the trip I bought two different models. GoPro Session 4 which is the smaller and simpler version from them. The iOS application is good and it is compact and well made. Expensive. Camkong Sport Camera £40 on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/CAMKONG-Underwa...=cm_rdp_product This was a good package and worked well. Slightly larger and not as well made but works fine. iOS application a bit naff but it works and has a carcam mode. I used a cheap suction camera mount and stuck it behind the mirror on the windscreen. https://www.amazon.co.uk/BestDealUK-Suct...on+camera+mount This is the output from the road out of Positano - sound down is best if you don't like fruity language at some points ! https://youtu.be/lRCkzokNk9Y

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

But, when I was run into from behind last February, footage proved that I was stationary when hit. I offered it to my insurance company when the offending party's insurance weren't going to pay up. Just the fact that I had footage changed their minds...
