I've bought the one endorsed by antp, the package arrived from China.
Is it normal it only records in 2-min blocks of 100Mb? I've got it in the default HD mode with a 8 gig SD card. Maybe I should reduce the pixels.

Yes, 2-min is the default setting. And in HD it gives 100 MB files.
You can change to 5-min and 15-min, but the gap between files may be bigger (time to write on the card). I haven't tested yet.
If you reduce the resolution files will be smaller I guess
For that I bought a fast 16 GB "class 10" SD card, allowing me to record up to four hours.
If you need a SD card, one of the best value for the price is the Transcend models available from Amazon.fr

I'll try the 5 minute setting, thanks. The jumps are a few seconds. It's an older SD-card I took from a digital camera but it'll do for now.
Amazon.de is nearly always several euros cheaper than Amazon.fr, it's worth checking both:

I stumbled across this rare dealer-demo video for the Rounded-Line Suburban (model year 1982). Those of you who like vintage 80's car videos might enjoy it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg2skCHLCVM&feature=player_embedded#!
Funny they mention power assist steering. The power steering is way over assisted; Rounded-Lines almost drive themselves, virtually no effort needed to steer, all you need is your pinky finger.
The "spheres-in-a-jar test" for the suspension was also neat. Also gives a good view of that pointed nose.

Remember that video I posted of the 1974 Chevrolet Vega GT Commercial? Well that one is clean compared to this local car dealer's commercial from San Francisco during the 1970's:

Jaw-dropping video of a presumably drunk driver (in the silver Chevrolet HHR) traveling the wrong-way on a U.S. interstate at over 70 mph. The HHR collides head-on offset with a Ford Expedition (traveling at 70 mph – the posted speed limit).
Closing speed was said to be 140 mph. No one was killed. The two people in the Expedition got out and sat on the shoulder of the freeway until police and paramedics arrived. The driver of the HHR was rushed to a nearby hospital for injuries.

Recently I had found this promotional film for the then brand new Alfa Romeo 75, which feature the car itself as a protagonist in some very famous films, while the stuntman was driving in Cinecittà .

Just for curiosity, someone is able to recognize the large mining truck at 07:50 and the old ('20?) car at 10:43?

That Alfa 75 film is great!
A rather long British Leyland internal quality film that should have probably been called 'Our Cars Will Kill you in a Horrible Accident'. Includes something for dsl at 14 seconds.

It's not even from a movie. It's an ident for the British film channel Film 4. I don't think they'd use a real GTO, but it's still a shame.

They can be lucky about the dry climate. Over here, in middle Europe, such is absolutely unthinkable. Here the car would be just a bit rusty dust for sweeping up.
