ooops what lamp post Simdeb ?
« on: July 17, 2005, 23:23:41 »
Just thought I might tell everyone Simdeb as just fitted a very posh 7” monitor in his motor with a camera on the front and rear to see were you have been and were you are going BUT  he happened to have a little problem with the set up because after reversing in an empty car park he discovered that he had lost is reveres gear and was unable to move backwards. While he was sitting there scratching his head wondering how to move a 2 tonne truck one of his kids said the reason we can’t move dad is that we have hit a lamp post  :oops:  The moral of the story is why trust in technology if you don’t press the button just ask one of the kids to shout stop before you hit something.  :roll:

My boss did the same in a 3 week old Nissan Primera T spec with same system. Cost him £700 to fix the damage to lots of plastic.
