I have been looking at THIS ONE, but it gets varied reviews on AMAZON.COM

Cameras nice and discrete with a central control unit, it too gets hot during parking mode according to some of the reviews.

Just had a look at a Nextbase 402G in Halfords - I wouldn't be buying from there, but it is on the way home from Newcastle - the missus has just been to the match so I picked her up. The unit itself is smaller than I imagine it, but the mounting bracket that attaches it to the windscreen looks very big and bulky, more than doubling the overall size.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Then there is the name which a certain member on the golf r forum likes to call himself has slightly tarnished the name, & has put me off .

Love the cabin Gazmondo! What a great place to hide away in. I'd get moaned at for spending my whole life in there if I had one like that. In fact I'd only ever emerge to collect my clean clothes then go straight back into my den again.
Mind you, I'd not even get a birdhouse in my garden let alone anything bigger.

There's nowt wrong with R400 (username), he actually speaks more sense than an awful lot on that forum and does it in a very clever way! He reminds me of Egbert Nosh on here who is much missed.

Lol, let me guess the annual subscription is very expensive as it's such an exclusive club?  Nice try!  Btw, there's a charge for the membership certificate.  :tongue: :kiss:
