Built in GPS receiver with a heads-up-display unit to project vehicular speed onto the windscreen. Fantastic! And it updates the speed 5 times/second so no lag.

Guess what's going in the Feekmobile next?

Ooh, nice! I'd be tempted but I finally got around to hard wiring my speed camera detector into the car so I have a GPS speedo to the right on the instrument cluster now. It isn't a 5 Hz model but it'll do.

but it's a HUD, you've got to have it! I have multiple devices anyway but it won't stop me getting another

If I could find a neat way of giving the thing a switched live then I'd be very tempted.

That said, once the work I'm having done on Friday is finished I will have spent £2800 on the car in the last couple of weeks so I should draw the line somewhere.

The Batmobile best get a new radio. It just cant compete!

Oooh

Can't afford it but it looks cool

Would it look a bit like the HUD on the car in Children of men?

Now if it showed rpm and/or a shiftlight and did data logging I'd be interested for the track car. But I guess that's not what it's for.

Price has dropped to £36. I've just ordered one

I'm going to put my sensible head on and not get one. It obviously appeals to me as a gadget but I need all the spare cash I can get at the moment so gadgets will have to take a back seat. Never thought I'd hear myself saying that!
