your crackers, lovin it.

Me.
the Sanef tolling sensor turned up today, and iv registered it. Yes their quick at sending it out. So iv placed it behind the rear view mirror on the drivers side. I hope this is the right place.
Do you think these sensors are water proof as id like to use it in the Atom?.

Atom? and you think G's crackers?! ;)
Will take a pic of mine tmrw and post, I know the location works obviously.
Don't have a scooby about waterproofing. Can't imagine it's fully IP rated though.

Even more crackers than having an atom is that if you're asking about sanef sensor suiting it, is that you're planning on driving across France in it ? Looney !
A mate did the ring in a caterham and that was nuts enough

Hi Guys,
iv already been to Brittany in the Atom, a great trip but this year / summer. The Atom club are on about going to the Swiss Alps in August, 10 days of driving heaven if the weather is good or 10 days of driving hell if it rains, obviously this means a lot of driving in France. I was rather hoping I could stick it to the top of the car or my helmet or something else stupid, as long as it was water proof. fumbling around in pockets is no good with a 6 point harness.

With the aggressive aerodynamics of the Atom, would have thought the upper cockpit edge of the nose cone could work. Making good use of clear line of sight for the overhead tag readers and loads of wind to keep the tag dry-ish.

If the tag can read/be read through a windscreen it'll definitely work through a clear zip seal plastic freezer bag. Then slide it into the sticker-backed carrier.

I paid about 19 Euro to get to Paris from Calais, same again on the way back.. Caught me on the back foot i wasn't expecting it! Paid with UK Debit card, probably got hit with a foreign currency fee but i didn't check to be honest..

Didn't have any issues with paying though.. Just pulling my chin up when i saw the amount..!
