Default Blue or Green screen SECS monitors

Anyone got pics of the blue background screen fitted? Want to see how it looks. Can't decide which colour is best Cheers.

Wouldn't that actually require driving it, or do you still sit in it making car noises and pretend it is finished?

Just get all the family round and cut off bits of hedge and get them to all run past the side of the car with the bits of foliage etc, out the garage door, run round the outside of the garage and back in again through the front door in a continuous loop .

Mike - the link doesn't work and your site seems to be down at the moment. I want to order one which i'm hoping will come by the weekend so I can mess around fitting it on Saturday.

Comes with full instructions and all you need to be able to do is a bit of soldering. Yes it is a direct replacement for the clock, as per the photos.
