Like they use in Hospitals showing waiting times etc

Gives you the ability to type any message

For use in a car ie works of a cigar lighter socket

Phil,

Noooooooo, don't spoil a cool car with tacky accessories. Just MHO.

Obviously you still have cash burning holes in your pocket buy the STi bonnet scoop instead.

was thinking about one of these, tis cool that people behind you can read it, so you can punch in, sorry, pre punch in 'GET OFF MY BUMPER!" or such like. But what you really want is one to mount at the front, so people in FRONT of you can see it in the rear view mirror, so you can give lane hoggers a message, think plod might not like that though.

Did see in MP some F1 strobe things, you put them behind your grill and they look like the stroby effect the F1 pace cars have, hmmm, now would that not make your car look like unmarked plod to most people?? hmm, interesting

Why ponse about with the naff low power strobes we have a set of these, http://www.galls.com/shop/viewProductDetail.jsp?item=GR121

But our kit has a higher wattage power supply and we also have some of these for inside the boot, http://www.galls.com/shop/viewProductDetail.jsp?item=GR108

We are waiting for some straps to be made for the light bar on the roof like this, http://store.yahoo.com/lightbars/deluxe10strobe.html

before you ask what we use them for they are used when we go marshaling on rallies etc and we have been stopped a few times by the police normally young whippersnappers who don’t know what they are talking about, now we tend to leave them off the roof till we get on site it saves having the hassle of being stopped, all the strobe lights are amber but the spot lights and the alley lights are clear, most of the stuff was brought from the states as it's a lot cheaper than buying in the uk I will put a picture up on my web site soon with the scoob in full trim ! And at night time it's BLOODY BRIGHT

I want it for

"where's the fog ar5ehole"

Then I will be happy

Also flashing thanks to people that let you out would be good

and perhaps hi to fellow scooby owners

and then my cars better than yours to cossie owners (FLAME SUIT AT THE READY)

God it might be a permanent Mod at this rate

The unit you want is sold by BOYS TOYS, they have a web site, dont know address. they cost £99.00 i bought one for advertising on one of our minibuses, works well.

Boys toys advertise in the back of a car/mens mags etc
