    Wow that's a great size! I was thinking it was much smaller, would it fit a briefcase sized case in it? I've one o those kits for when your car breaks down that has pretty much everything in it, and it rattles around the boot.

    Deadly thanks, will head down there in the next week to pick one up :)

    Wonder could you use the luggage hooks in the boot to secure it?

    the lidl one has a velcro strip on the side and it can be attached to the upholstery in your boot, so mine has been velcroed to the wall of the boot so it doesn't get in the way of luggage

    I guess the closest thing I got motor related was a Clarkson book from my dad. I think I'll keep it in the car so that, if I get stranded in the snow, I have something to burn to keep me warm. :(

    I also got a few quid, so I reckon I'll be picking up one of those Halfords boot tidy things tomorrow.

    Sorry, no clue, he did them several years ago. He just matched the image that was already there, do Passats have one too?

    I have the TomTom one, it's wired directly in to my ignition live rather than plugging it in, it's a grand piece of kit and quite tidy

    just have it since yesterday :) so havent had much chance to test it out etc.
    the video its taken looks fine, i like the google maps overlay on playback etc.

    the reason i didnt ask santy for the dual camera version is that it records into the cabin rather than out the rearwindow so its not a feature i would be interested in for the extra cost

    I have one of those Lidl ones. Velcro on the bottom and on 1 side makes sure it is about the only item in my car that doesnt move around. I even use it to secure other stuff i want to stop moving around.
    Costed 6 or 7 euro if i remember well. Money well spent.
