What dash cam have you got Dazauto? I get really good and clear images from my Thinkware cam.

Viofo A119S. Apparently it has the best sensor for night images - Sony imx291 (?).

Which model of Thinkware?

Can it read number plates meeting traffic on unlit roads?

Mines the Thinkware F770. Never looked for number plates to be honest but it's a brilliant set up.
TCR, Pure Grey, DCC, Dynaudio and Climate Screen.

King monkey - from what I have observed on motorways (about 15k pa) Audi drivers, esp estates, tend to get what they ask for.

Thanks buddy! I was a good driver until I touched the S3 keys when I picked it up. It went downhill from there apparently.  :grin:

King monkey, S3s get left standing by A4 tdis - or so it seems, judging by the way some of them drive.... :)

S-Line surely adds more power and less self control.

Not quite the same as the OP, but when I had a Mk1 Escort Mexico, often got people wanting to race, but the strangest was when my Girlfriend at the time was driving to pick me up, she was followed by a police car, despite driving at the legal limit, after a couple of miles, they turned on the lights and pulled her over. "Is this your car" question followed, "No, she said, it's my boyfriends", "Well if he wants to sell it, give me a call" was the Police response and then gave her his number on a card and got back in and drove off.

Haha, that's class. I've had a copper randomly follow me so I pulled over and he pulled in behind me and gave me some BS story of how a black Golf had been involved in an incident earlier in the day but it wasn't mine.
