Origin Blue-i - surely the best GPS speed-check warning device. Updates from a central database of every Gatso, Truvelo etc static speed camera device. Blue-i displays your direction, exact speed, and warns as you approach. Totally legal because these devices are supposed to be safety rather than revenue-earning devices (really?!) and this simply warns you as you enter a hazardous area. Bravo.

Blue-i

Eddie Rose Automatics - renowned auto-box expert in Mansfield for Jag units. Few Ronarts are auto, of course, but recommended also by Graham Hallett who had a very cost-effective rebuild and uprating of his Mercedes box.

Driving Techniques

If you're near Flaine, in the French Alps, between mid-December and March, a day's course on the Circuit de Glace is an unforgettably fun experience. Driving a W152 there would be great, but sadly even the hardiest RDC driver is unlikely to get that far in the ice season.
