Hi Stephen, I know april got custom metal gauges for her smart car awsome quality, these came from Metal Monkey link below. She sent them a template of what she wanted i.e. her dials and a wee specification and what backing colour she wanted and a week later the dials came back Metal Monkey Martin

If iam right in thinking the scottish scobbies logo is copyrighted by SIDC so you would have to ask them for permission to use the logo. As i was looking into replacing the subaru logo oval on the front grill to an oval scottish scobbies logo. Martin

I know Graham Goode Racing had a wide selection of metal badages, i did find an custom fabricator in Edinburgh will try and find the link when iam back home, Martin

Drivers beware! This new super speed camera, dubbed 'the daddy', is on its way to a road near you within a year. Motorists really will have nowhere to hide, as it's fitted with four lenses - three digital still cameras, plus a video capture system. These enable it to patrol up to four lanes of traffic at a time - current camera systems can only monitor part of a wide carriageway. The new Multi-Camera System (MCS) can also be used at traffic lights and box junctions. And there will be no disputes as to who was behind the wheel, as the device has an infra-red flash, which means it can be forward facing to take pictures of drivers' faces. The MCS is made by Dutch firm Gatsometer, which builds the infamous Gatso, the most common speed camera in the UK. The hi-tech new machine can hold up to 60,000 images of speeders on its encrypted hard drive, while the photoscan be downloaded any time via a phone link. This, plus the fact it comes with defence spikes to deter vandals, means the MCS is almost maintenance-free - something which will appeal to safety camera partnerships. A spokesman for Serco, Gatsometer's UK distributor, agreed that the MCS was 'the daddy of speed cameras'. He added: "It's not available in Britain at the moment, but we could introduce it in the future. The local camera partnerships need to decide if they want it. "If they do, the unit would be operational within 12 months." However, Gatsometer's more expensive four-lane Automatic Number Plate Recognition system - revealed by Auto Express in Issue 818 - will arrive first. The Serco spokesman confirmed that the set-up, which times drivers between two points, will undergo Home Office trials soon and could be in use by early 2007. SOURCE : AUTO EXPRESS
