Re: [DML] V-1 radar detector

Hank:

Yes, I have the V-1 in my DeLorean for the last six years and I have it wired 
up in a nice and with a concealed set up with all of the three pieces. I 
have built a housing for the main unit to mount it on the "T" section behind 
and in between the driver and the passenger heads with NO drilling or 
alteration to the interior. I will take new pics and send them to you on the 
set up when I get my car back from PJ Grady this Friday.

FYI..... It is one of the best unit on the market for a "heads up" alert, so, 
do use it with common sense and care. I got only "one" ticket with the V-1. 
In that incident, the V-1 went off with an usual "very" short burst alert, 
for the trooper was using the radar gun, standing perpendicular on top of a 
hill, instead of parallel to the road. When he stopped me, he said: "It took 
eleven minutes to catch up to me." He ask me "where I was going to at that 
fast?" I told him "I was running very late and that I have a very important 
dinner engagement with someone VERY important." I told him who the person 
was and he thought I was kidding and he gave me the ticket anyway, for he 
didn't want to hear about it. 

All in all, it was the ONLY ONE time the V-1 let me down, out of the many 
countless times that the unit had trigger off in the last six years with 
85,000 miles of driving since the installation. BTW, I did get to beat the 
speeding ticket.
