This one is doing the round on the internet, but couldn't see it here so thought I would share it. (Sorry if it's a pee-roast).
Guy takes a Monaro in for a simple radiator pipe leak, the mechanics take it for a test drive. I believe the police are now 'test driving' the mechanics license!
Kinda makes me glad that I know what I'm doing myself, or at least I have friends that do. I do like the Roadhawk though, how cool are they. Only limiting factor to me is the £279.99 price tag.

makes me sick, wonder how many other places do it. >:(
Interesting bit of kit, i'd be tempted to fit one to my Monaro when i get it 8-)
Usefull for insurance too!
-
Great sound from that engine all the same 8-) 8-) :y
-
I think them "boys" from the garage are in a little bit of trouble!! :y
-
:y :owould make you see red though wldnt it i think if it was my car they wld never drive again ! Great bit of kit though
-
Thanks for those links mate, kept me entertained for quite a while! I hope those sods get their just deserts. :y
-
Would not be happy at all >:( >:( >:( The odd this is i know the the place they pulled into. When i used to work in Reddich i would drive past it everday.
-
must admit its temping to fit that video / gps gear up to any car, must be very usefull for insurance claims when trying to find out who is to blame.
Good for parents too to keep track of how their kids drive when they are not around.
-
what tossers i would of dropped them right in the shite and showed the tape to the police >:( >:( >:(,just shows you there is some doggey outfits out their that give garages a bad name,glad i do my own repairs :y

reading the thread from the link, looks like he put it on YouTube and the police tracked him down and he gave them all the details.

good advert for the kit!

If you look at the front page of the roadhawk website, his vid is in the news section, they must be loving it. And yes the police have asked the owner for the original footage. So I guess the mechanics, which you can just about hear talking in the vids, are going to be trouble.
I guess the guy originally didn't want to go to the police, as I bet there is footage of him not quite obeying the rules. Well come on, who on here can say they stick to the speed limit 100% of the time? Now imagine that feeling and owning a v8 Monaro.

Their value dropped quickly from 20k to 10-12k ish now, but seem to have been holding firm for some time now. Doubt we will see them in Omega money :'(

Anybody who does make that claim is either a liar or they don't drive, end of story!

£280 is nothing for the benefits it offers.

Have to agree, and that price i feel is actually very reasonable. If my car was not worth £2.50 i would get one.
-
£1 to 1p, before long having one will be a condition of getting insurance.

Same idea, but different end result - Norwich Union's idea of a 'black box' data recorder for pay-as-you-drive insurance soon died the death. ;)

yes, and remember Jon Argraig's saga with the RAC for the same.
nonetheless, they are obviously thinking about it, and either it, or specs at every junction will come eventually.
so, enjoy it while you can :y

I know how my car has been driven, and how its going to be driven, and it isnt going to be driven by any grease monkeys from the local ranch.
What other benefits are there? If it could detect radar as well it might be worth having :y

Have a read through the website. ... http://www.roadhawk.co.uk/ it can be setup to record like the Monaro set it when it record the 'test drive' but there's also the abilty to to set it up to record a set time before an accident. It can prove what happened before an accident occured ..... which hopefully is in your favour (if not you can then delete the SD card ::) ::)).
-
If thats the case it could be very useful if you ran into the back of someone.if you took the card out, uploaded the video,wipe the card, then run it backwards and reload it to the card. They have then reversed into you :y

Deleting the data wouldn't be sufficient, you'd have to blow the card completely (and probably follow that up with blowing the recording devices internal memory that kept the log of you removing a perfectly functioning card and replacing it with a shagged one).

I can't believe the number of people that think, that pressing the delete button, gets rid of data for ever.
All that happens when you press delete, is the file system allocates that as free space, the data is still there until its over written, even then its partially recoverable.
Only 100% way to remove data, is to physically destroy the device its on. SD? Fire. Hard Disk? Drill holes in it, then take a hammer to it.
