Hi Thought I'd let everyone in on the great new radar detector I just got. It's modelled on the Bel 990 and produced for european roads by Target. Whilst I have not yet had the opportunity to test it against Hand Held Radar or Laser guns I have done a tour of the Watford area and found that in fact only about 4 of the Gatso cameras were actually working, the BEL Euro 550 had no trouble detecting each of them giving me plenty of time had I needed it, to slow down, its performance on approach was just as good as it was after I had passed the camera. I also like the fact that is is small enough to put in your pocket when leaving the car. Setting it lightly on the Velcro strip was more than enough to hold it in place. http://www.beldirect.co.uk/bel550.htm

How much was it? I got caught by a gun and don’t really want another set of points.

The Bel Euro 550 was £399 - If thta's too much - check out the Bel 330, nearly as good but cheaper. http://www.beldirect.co.uk/ J. P.S. They also run a Snooper radar site, if you want to go really cheap: http://www.snooper.co.uk

Yeah right! Actually the reason I liked the site is coz' there are loads of links to independent speed trap sites as well as uk speedtraps (what was the url again ;-)
