    Had my Dad's Road Angel in my car the other day, works really well, looks cool and tells you what speed you're actually doing. If I were to get one I'd save my pennies and get that.

    Cheaper than my last speeding fine!

    i've got the road angle classic, great piece of kit and lifetime downloads only cost 99.
    the road angel 2 has a more user fiendly dispay and has the lazer detector built in, think its 99 for 3 years downloads.

    Had no problems with mine, been up and down the country with it and across!! Not been to scotland yet (next years trip) and it's not missed a fixed camera yet!!!! No false alarms either. I ain't been near london so what it makes of that palce i don't know!!

    Buy at Costco, hundred quid cheaper than many places. Cheapest I could find anyway. The old man has a Snooper, doesn't look as good as the Road Angel but works fine.

    I had Road Angel Classic, and now have Road Angel 2 - both are extremely good and reliable. Money well spent IMO

    Origin B2 is okay, but needs to be wired into the car, therefore is not interchangable between cars. For instance, if you put your car in for service and they give you a hire car, the Road Angel is easy to swap.
