Guys,
These are for sale at the moment on www.misco.co.uk for thirty odd quid special offer.
Also, if registered before July they offer free updates for life and these normally cost £4.95 a month! Looks like a bargain.
Please note, for those going to SPA or into French Territory (not sure about other European Countries) these are highly illegal and having one in your possession may result in a gaol sentence and certain confiscation of both the unit and your passport.
Now, this isn't a discussion about the rights and wrongs of this kind of thing... if you like the idea then I think it's a great deal... if you don't like the idea then don't buy one.

One way of extending our holiday mate!
Seems like a good deal though, I take it they're legal in this country then? |

Did you get one Bobbber? If so good as it looks?
I'm very tempted.

I got an S3 neo a few years back after winning 6 points from the rozzers, it was worth it at the time but they ain't very good at spotting mobile laser and radar hot spots, but for gatso's , peek, truvelo and average speed cameras they are fine. _________________ PHAT 33 |

Correct Oggie... they ain't 100%... but for half the cost of the fine I think worth it _________________ Fiat Bravo 165 Sport |

Well it seems as if my snooper just paid for itself twice over.
I usually forget to take it anywhere, but had it on on the way to Gaydon.
Accidently let the 33 slip a bit above the national limit on the m40 and it went off. Backed off gently thinking 'where's the camera' then saw the filth with a mobile van on a bridge in the distance.
Been sweating for a couple of weeks as i wasn't sure i'd wiped off the speed in time, but fingers crossed all is ok. I believe that the rozzers have to get a ticket to you within 14 days else it's void- is that true?? Postal strikes

From previous experience in the matter of point collecting I it normally takes 2 weeks to come through but I have read somewhere that the police get up to 6 months to dish the speeding ticket out. ![Rolling Eyes](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) _________________ PHAT 33 |

They can take as long as they want to issue the ticket.
But we can't take as long as we want to pay up... |

John... I've heard that 14 days banded about by LOTS of people, although I have no hard evidence.
I'll go look for some.

I think the 14 days thing is the time which it normally takes to get them sent out.
Its just a rule of thumb thing, if you havent heard anything after 14 days its very likely that your in the clear.
Although in some areas Ive heard its a month. _________________ Presntly own
