I have family down there. The run from Billingshurst out to Goodwood down the A272 is just awesome. Wish I was down there more often. Cheers for the tip-off.

Exactly! I was on the way to Goodwood albeit the farmshop via the Singleton Downlands Museum...luckily in the family wagon and cruise mode...

Did you see who was driving? If not be aware that not every unmarked car with covert blues is Old Bill.

Sussex have had that ages, its a 335i. The one I keep missing is the silver Focus St. I know that a new Audi will be landing in east Sussex soon.

I have a "Snooper" in my car (won't go anywhere near Wales without it). It detects all radar signals and active speed cameras. It is NOT linked to any GPS system. I know they are banned in France and Italy, but is it still legal here in the UK? I heard rumours some time ago that there were moves to out-law them. I know it's only a crime if you actually get caught, but I'd still like to know either way

They are still legal, whether found using or not as far as I know.

May be an old wives tale, but I was led to believe they are legal to own and use, but it's illegal to act upon the information recieved from them confused
