    you need the optional extra radar tracking and hellfire missle "path clearing" option in that case.

    I see the NZ agent is listed as 4u2c Ltd "Auckland".

    Are any of you familiar with this company? John.

    Very interesting.
    I can't ever see myself with one but applaud the tech work that has gone into making this available.

    Yep agreed with the above sentiments, a novel idea but probably more distracting than anything. I have a radar detector that tells me when I need to slow down
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
