I am driving around in my campervan and hate when people drive too close here in NZ.
It does not happen that often anymore as I have tinted windows in my van and old small data CD on the window.
This CD is magic. Keeps other cars 200 meters away! Maybe they think it is a speed camera, lol. Really cheep traffic safety device !




My gadgets:
NEC Versa S3200 Laptop running Linux Mint 9 and Win XP

3x I-mate Jasjam, one running WM6.1 and others WM5.1, all working with VF and Telecom XT
Canon Powershot SX120 Digital camera
Various old phones like Nokia 6310, Nokia 6610 and ancient Nokia 1610, all with carkits.
Greenspeed Gto recumbent trike with Rohloff 14 speed Speedhub, altogether 42 speed.
No TV, no microwave and no washing machine. ( Not enough space in my van for those) I live a mobile lifestyle, call me nomad if you wish but gypsy I am not.
Have started my epic journey from Bluff to Cape Reinga on my recumbent trike supported with my van so I can carry all my gadgets with me and sleep in a comfy bed.

Nice. I drive around in a VX Holden Commodore, a model the Police still use.

I have a Navman GPS mounted low down on the windscreen - I am pretty sure by the way I see people hit the brakes that they think I am Mr Plod with a radar...

I have an actual old radar unit in my car, that really stops those idiots with radar detectors, I have a couple of video's of me turning it on when a boy racer whizzes past and see them smoke up their tyres when their detector suddenly goes bleep bleep bleep at full power.

My car is a white 02 primera which looks convincingly cop-like and I have an RT antenna on the back for various experiments..

I need to put some "hella" lights in the front and back which do nothing but look convincing.

How'd you get hold of an old radar unit? Police auctions? Anywhere we can see the videos?
