Going to have to sort that one right out!!!!!

We need some serious encryption to defeat Nick....

Nick - Some good news for you: That's a 'yes'; the organisers cars will be tracked

However, they will be on a different and non-public web-link!!! Sorry to disappoint you Now a question - do really I mean 'Sorry to disappoint you?' Ha

Thanks for the appropriate response Keith.

Regards,

I'll be fixing mine to an Eddie Stophard truck

Great news - Hee heee it will be interesting watching the bomb bursts at the start of each day - fabulous news for those watching from home

Hold up! My wife thinks I am working hard raising money. This could mess that up.

Best way to deal with the tracker is to fit it to Tim's car on the first night. He can 'carry the flag for us and it'll look like a fantastic team effort on the web tracking site right up to the end.

Already got one fitted to all of the organisers cars

The Spooks are checking them out as I write

guess what.... everyone will know how fast you are going, except me i suspect, but at least you'll where i have broken down.

Not a chance, they're fitted with signal jambers and cloaking devices

Record set for fastest recovery reported stolen and got back 11 minutes later

For sure that's mega quick; and great press for Skytag. Well done to them.

Thing is, would you report a L, La, lan land, a green ovel thing stolen, or just be pleased it's gone ?

Keep your head down Richie; if you're lucky your 'followers' may have have missed the above post

WHO in their right mind would want to steal a jap thing I quess they could add a few motorway maintance stickers and knock on a few doors asking to tarmac your drive
tis rite tit tis i saez

It's a good job Richie isn't in the points scoring, we'd have a right battle on our hands at the bottom of the table

Fitted my Skytag at the weekend - set up ready for the Mac this weekend.

The deal with Skytag is great. You will receive all the details when they contact you.

Fitting is dead easy. There's three wires;

red - power,

green - battery charging (it'll run on it's own internal battery for around 3 hours),

black - ngeative.

Red and green must be connected to a permanent power supply (which can be the same source for both wires). The red comes with a in line fuse, but if you're going to run cables for any distance, I would recommend fitting your own fuse at source.

Black is connected to a good earth.

The unit itself can be mounted pretty much anywhere (bearing in mind it's not water proof), but is best hidden high up behind the dash or other secret location. It relies on being able to get a good satelite and 'phone signal to be able to work, so should be kept away from any sources of possible interference, such as radios, CBs etc... A good place might be behind the headlining near an interior light, or perhaps in behind a door pillar trim.

There's a number on the unit to call, once it's been on for 1/2 hour or so, to check that it's working. I've just spoken to them and they can "see" my truck parked inside my workshop - a steel clad building with alsorts of other steel buildings and structures near by and apparently, the signal is excellent, so all good.

As soon as I know the weblink etc... I'll post it up so you can keep an eye on us over the coming weekend.

Do we need to get in touch with SkyTag our selves for the 2012 rally?

Hi John - No; Skytag will make individual contact all the 2012 crews from Mid-March onwards

Not another delve behind the dash . Took me all day to find a positive for the GPS behind the dash and a or two before everything was back where it should be. Would help if I had the right tools for removing a radio on a , and before the rude comments start flying around, no it wouldn't just fall out at the first bump
