Commissario
A couple of OcUK members have seen the inside of the Feekmobile and it's been suggested that I ought to claim braggin' rights for it.
So I've taken some pictures.
I'd like to enter the Feekmobile into the competition for the Ultimate Braggin' Rights of 2002.
So, without further ado, here we go.
Here is a picture of the main dashboard area.
This can be broken down to a number of areas.
Starting to the left top side, there is the Garmin Streetpilot III GPS. This self-contained unit provides spoken guidance to any European destination by using the worldwide Global Positioning System, simply tell it where you want to go and it will take you there.
Below the Streetpilot III is an Icom IC-2800. This VHF and UHF amateur radio transmitter is a superb radio with a colour TFT display, it runs 50 watts output on VHF and 35 on UHF.
Below these two pieces of kit can be found the Kenwood TM-D700 and the Sony Mini-disc head unit.
The Kenwood is used for APRS which is a system that transmits a radio signal once per minute showing the exact location of the vehicle. It can be used for a multitude of purposes, one of the most useful is online tracking via the internet. There are a number of amateur radio to internet gateways around the UK that allow radio traffic to be parsed onto the internet and vice versa. These gateways are licenced by the government and I operate the one which was the first to be licenced in the UK (extra bragging rights there!).
Below the Kenwood is a Sony Mini-disc head unit which I fitted shortly after getting the car. I much prefer MD's to CD's and this was almost the best unit available at the time.
On the right of the main picture can be seen a boom microphone. This is used with the Icom radio mentioned above to provide hands-free operation of the transmitter, hence improving safety on the road.
Below the boom microphone is an Origin Blue-I and my Sony-Ericsson T-68 that has been flashed to a T-68i.
The Origin Blue-I is a system for improving road safety. It has a built-in GPS receiver and database of the location of all the fixed traffic cameras in the UK. It advises the driver in advance that there is a camera ahead and as cameras are located in accident blackspots then it gives the driver warning to be extra careful in that area.
Below that is the T68i telephone and as can be seen from the following image, I have a bluetooth headset to allow me to use the telephone without taking my hands off the wheel. It has voice operated dialling and answering.
So, that's the interior of my car. I claim full Bragging Rights on it and will consider this my entry to the Braggin' Rights 2002 competition.
