Available in high quality.

Like in a previous video of mine, this is a video of me driving from Mississauga, a Toronto suburb, to Pinehurst Lake, which is a conservation area (part of the Grand River Conservation Areas) around 110 km west of Toronto.

Part of this drive (the part in Mississauga and on Highway 401) is very similar to the one in my "Driving from Mississauga to Waterloo via Highway 401" video, except that this time the weather was very nice.

The drive begins in a shopping plaza in Mississauga, followed by Highway 401. We then exit the highway somewhere around the city of Cambridge and follow a bunch of rural roads to the destination. I don't know exactly what specific roads were taken, since I just followed my GPS, and am too lazy to look at the route or trace it. As a result, I did not label any roads except for Highway 401.

Finally, I take a few laps around the actual park because my friends and I wanted to find a good place to park, so we ended up filming almost the whole place :)

This time the weather is very nice, since it was an unusually warm and sunny day for this time of the year. Especially nice are the beautiful autumn colours of the trees in the video, which I think add greatly to it.

Additionally, I finally figured out a secure way to mount my camera to the dashboard (using velcro strips). Unfortunately, the windshield was quite dirty at the time of filming (which was exacerbated by the spray paint on it), which is evident when the sun is shining directly at the windshield, but all in all I think the video turned out quite well.

The whole trip is around 90 km in length, sped up approximately 7.5 times.

The music is:
Aqua - Cartoon Heroes (Hampenberg Remix)
Aqua - Freaky Friday (Eiffel 65 Extended Remix)

  • Nice wide road and highway, but I never want to enter into N. America since it's the ultra racist land reserved for the whites only. Damn! they are always ready to shoot and kill the coloreds!

  • You would be greatly surprised if you visited Canada :) Most of the occupants of my car during the making of this video were not "white" :) Unfortunately, racism exists in every country, including Japan. Thanks for the comment though, Japanese roads are very nice too.

  • another work of art...greetings

  • Thanks :)

  • What is the speed limit on the at-grade roads in the first two minutes of the video?

    Do you drive some kind of sports car? The cam seems to be very low.

    I use velcro strips as well :)

  • The speed limit on the at-grade roads in the beginning is 70 km/h. Mississauga is known for its wide roads and slightly higher speed limits. Such a road elsewhere usually has a 60 km/h limit.

    As for the car, it's as far from being a sports car as possible :) It is a fairly old Nissan Sentra.

    The velcro strips are indeed nice, I believe I took the idea from you ;)

  • they have five guys across from walmart now

  • my friend lives near that walmart

  • Interesting choice of music for this one, not bad though. I've never been to Pinehurst Lake, looks nice here.

  • This video is so awesome, I'll be visiting Ontario soon. And seeing you chose Danish pop group Aqua, I can assume Canadians and Danes are at peace again...that's how it should be.....

    Metaphorically, Hans Island could also be Danish vocals on Canadian landscape.

  • nice work but i would have wanted to see bit of Waterloo as well, you kinda stopped at the border there lol

  • These videos are so cool! How do you speed them up like that!

    The guy in the silver Ford (0:43) really had a heavy foot! After the light turned green he was gone!

  • South Common Mall !!!!! LOL

  • Highway east or west

  • 北米の道路広くていいですね

    新作楽しみにしています
