Very efficient service and the unit works well, but I just can't get it mounted properly, ie neatly and in view. It's too big and boxy, the mounting bracket makes it even bigger (and wobbly) and you're left with a rat's nest of cables to hide somewhere.

It's also not designed to be quickly and easily unplugged, away from thieving eyes. Oh, and it failed to pick up four Gatsos at some long-term roadworks that have been there over a month now.

Good product, poor packaging Or maybe I'm too picky

Richard.

Hello again all.

At last I have the final details for the Origin Blue-i Group buy offer.

(I am still waiting for the details for the Laser Jammer - please be patient...)

Origin have very kindly offered us the following deal for their "Blue-i" GPS Gatso detector. (go have a look at http://www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk/origin.htm for reviews etc)

Normal Retail price for this product is £399.00.
Our Special Group Buy Offer is £319.00.

There are 2 conditions to the offer...

1. The offer is for a limited period only (1 month from Monday 17th June).
2. There are only 30 units available at this price.

This offer is only open to members of the ScoobyNet BBS and this is the cheapest you will be able to buy this product anywhere in the UK. (Find it cheaper and Origin want to hear about it!)

To order this fine product you need to do one of the following:

1. Email your order to derek@radarexpress.com (however I would not recomend sending your credit card details in this way...)

OR

2. Call Derek at Radar Express on 01555 666444 mentioning ScoobyNet Group Purchase Scheme as agreed with Mark at Origin.

Origin have selected Radar Express to act as the co-ordinator for this offer - they are one of the largest retailers for Origin products in the UK.

Details of Blinder Laser Jammer Offer to follow shortly.

Please make the most of this offer whilst you can. It can only run for one month and there are only 30 units on offer!

Good Luck,
Mak.

Can anyone explain to me why a GPS is better (or not) than a scanner like the Bel 550?

GPS detector are better because:
1. No question over legality
2. Give much better advanced warning - important if you are tanking along - which is normal in a Scoob!
3. Offer other features such as current speed etc...

Have a look at www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk for a better description.

Used my Origin Blue i for the first time today and it picked up a "Hidey Hole" camera - What the f**k is that!!!

Got to zero metres and couldn't see anything at all, there were warnings of camera's, but I did expect to be able to see them.
