So any news, is it in perth yet?Bartek wrote:Well it is finished and in it's packing crate, that's the good news.....
The bad news is that I leave for Queensland today so wont be here to arrange pick up...........so Harma has agreed to hold onto it. It will arrive in Perth on Monday the 4th Feb.
The waiting is nearly over
oh yes, nearly forgot the pictures
Come to think of it I don't know how to post pictures in this forum, I'll be back!

No sleepless nights but frustrated days as I am on leave at the moment until Sunday, so I could be out testing and setting it up. Instead I will have to wait still, and the Mango will be sat at home pilotless while I am at work

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but your customs agents will take a few days to sort things too. Its more than just "sign here and collect it".Bartek wrote:Yes one yesterday evening to tell me that it should arrive at Perth airport at around 1500 hrs today, but will take 6 hrs to unload and so will not be available until Monday as Custom agents don't work weekends!

Alarm systems, horns, lights maybe. I was curious because of the possibility of using a remote alarm system.Riggsbie wrote:I wonder why they want 12v ?

I will do but for the price of the velomobile I wasn't keen on trusting it to a cheap eBay special alarm system ... the better ones seem to be a touch more expensive. Will investigate down the track in more depth but.Riggsbie wrote:You can get some portable cheap 9v powered alarms which have motion sensors and a remote key fob alarming thingy.......

That could be handy as well, but the remote proximity alarm is about discouraging people sitting on itBaalzamon wrote:I would be more inclined to get a gps spy tracker installed somewhere so it can be traced at all times.

Uses GPS and falls back to GSM networks if no GPS available Telstra prepaid sim long life would be what I would use.Riggsbie wrote:Surely the prohibitively expensive mobile phone/SIM plan would cripple you here in Oz and probably have such bad coverage it could be almost useless

Or you could use kogan mobile ( http://www.kogan.com/au/mobile/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) at $10 per month for 6gb of data.Baalzamon wrote:Uses GPS and falls back to GSM networks if no GPS available Telstra prepaid sim long life would be what I would use.Riggsbie wrote:Surely the prohibitively expensive mobile phone/SIM plan would cripple you here in Oz and probably have such bad coverage it could be almost useless

Uses Telstra older 3g network so should have good area of coverage.
