Any ideas??

i was thinking some sort of extensive strapping to the head rest...maybe the gorillapod would work (not used one myself). i have seen those suction cups for attaching your camera to the outside of the car...not sure i would trust my kit to a bit of spit and suction, myself though!!

Take a picture with the car stationary and one while on the move Photoshop one over the other
Its what Photoshop is for imho

That's a good point ether, but I'm afraid my photoshop skills aren't that good.

If you have any kind of photo editing software that lets you use layers it is one of the easiest things to do.

Put the Stationary shot on top layer and just use the eraser to rub out the view through the windscreen you wont even have to be that accurate if you feather the eraser.

But if you don't have the software you wont get the shot as no matter how you tie the camera down the dash its self will still vibrate at a different speed / direction

Thanks again ether. I will give that a go, and learn how to do it. I'm determined to try and get this right.

There is an article in the December edition of Digital Photo magazine which shows how to do it

Or you could trust someone to drive your car & hang out of the window a little & experiment with different shutter speeds until you get the desired effect your looking for.
Or another safe way is to place your camera on the dashboard place strong sticky pads to hold the cam in place & set the timer to 10secs & move off then press the shutter button so you have 10 secs to to get going & that way at least your cam is a lot safer.
