I have a 2013 Mondeo with a heated windscreen and it is in the mottled area, been using for 3 years, no issues at all.
Perfect, mines a 2012 tit x mondeo, so that puts my mind at rest.
Do you find they save much time? Or is it mainly to save faffing about with cash or cards at the tolls.

Sorry to hear about your off. That really sucks ????

it does save time and hassle, but the best thing is driving through at 20kph and wondering if the barrier will open!! who says the adrenaline is only on the track?

Anyone done the 80km PDS Enduro route? Worth the day out is it?

I did the event a few years ago and it was a good laugh, bit of a pub crawl around the area. Don't know if I'd do it outside of the event.

You should be able to do all that yourself...for a fraction of the cost

Absolutely gutted, had an OTB yesterday and broke my collarbone, looking at 4-6 weeks recovery time or 16-24 weeks if surgery. I go to Morzine in 5 weeks!!! anyone been through this? is 5 weeks too optimistic? I have a possibility of delaying my trip for another 3 weeks, so 8 weeks, is that enough time to get closer to100%?


I'm hoping for good news as I don't want cancel but I also don't want to go and be in pain and not enjoy it.
Just come back from the hospital, all healing up nicely so no surgery needed. I am just about to get my Morzine trip pushed back another 4 weeks so hopefully I should be healed up and get some of my fitness back in time.
