A very tired Chinaman

Post by Gibbo2286 »

walked up my drive this morning..............nah just kidding. :)

Remember this https://www.ebay.co.uk/ipp/363053437167 ... 675.l48352

It came up in one of the threads and I hit the buy button out of curiosity, it arrived this morning and it's happily filming away stuck to my front window for testing.

The delivery tracking is like something from Chairman Mao's Long March.

Seems to work ok for me.

Can anyone remember the thread it came on originally? iirc it said something like 'you need one of these.' and posted a picture of the Ebay offering.

Me too, I suspect it is because the item has been sold. Gibbo can still access it as the buyer!! :)

Next time Gibbo, just let me know where it is and I'll go and collect it for you!! Got to be quicker, although you'll have to pay for the maps! :-D :-D

PS, I've ordered 3 for our fleet, might get them by Christmas! :-D

You would need to make it public for anyone else to view it.

I tried to log in to One Drive - I have a very rarely used Microsoft account but it was frozen as I haven't accessed it in well over a year. It is frozen and going to take 24 hours to unfreeze but does look as though you have removed that file from your account.

Is the cam any good. That price would hardly cover the postage.
