Correct !!! e-mailed them a sales enquiry, nothing heard back, phoned them the question instead, and received a reply to my original e-mail within minutes ?? !! in saying that, they are not alone with there poor e-mail replying, find that more companies fail to reply to e-mail enquires than companies that do !!
cheers,
john...

p.s so is your scoobie adorned with these £110 stealth plates then ??!!

The 'demonstration' was deeply flawed. They insist on using their 'own' camera with a certain flash rating at a certain distance from the car. Take your own digital camera and test it, they probably won't let you.

A PROPER demonstration needs to be done using a 'replica' of a gatso or a number of different camera types to 'prove' that they work.

IF they DID work, then you can be sure the police would be aware (getting pictures from cameras that they can't read!) and they'd be scouring the internet and suchlike to find who make these things and bring them to book.

Here's something controversial - try not speeding through cameras! hmmm, what an ingenious idea works for me AND it doesn't cost a single penny
