Re[2]: FN-FORUM [OT] Radar Detectors (Was: Design Critique)
date posted 24th January 2003 18:00
I was permanently petrified driving around Greece. They have little
shrines by the road to people who have died in road accidents, some
corners there were 40-50 of the things. It's certainly an interesting
experience to see a truck coming towards you at 60mph, in the middle
of a cliffside road on a hairpin bend...
