He will have his review up VERY SOON. I talked to him the other day and he told me that he is almost done. TRUST me the wait will be WELL WORTH it. It will be VERY thorough and HONEST. Bob just like Roy only offer THE BEST so I do not expect anything less.

i am just curious to see how the rx 65 stacked up. I know Bob had been saying that he really liked it. I have had mine for a couple days now and it's working out great..

Thanks for the inquiry guys.
Before releasing the results, I wanted to add some more testing to cover the additional bands that we did not encounter in the West namely X-band. It thrives in the Garden State of NJ.
This weekend we put on about 500 miles that included traveling three states PA, NJ, and NY. I am glad we did because we got some very interesting results and some surprises that were not apparent otherwise.
I have not been posting much on this board as I have been preoccupied with preparing a thorough and enjoyable analysis.
Thanks for your patience. I will announce the publication on this forum and will start a thread to engage its readers in an honest dialogue.
I can hardly wait to share our experiences! :lol:

I am in the process of trying to downsize the video clips which are huge and not practical.
Other than that we should be ready to go.
Thanks for your continued patience and stay tuned...

If you had a feature-length DIVX movie we would find the time and bandwidth to watch it. Don't forget who your audience is :wink:.

Perhaps our next series - in the summer - will contain a "movie."
Its just harder because who knows where the traps lay?
You're welcome to pull-them off as they are, but expect to take some time.
We only have a T1 line and one files is about 40mb in size!

Don't worry, we'll be thrilled to read/view whatever you have. If it were that easy to just go out and film speedtraps we would all be screwed!
Maybe what we need to do is put together a fleet of vehicles decked out with radar/video equipment and test them out them "Gumball" style :D. (I watched the series from the '04 Rally this weekend...absolutely insane. My favorite quote from the whole thing: **Detector going nuts in the background** "$&!t, there's radar everywhere. Screw it I'm just going to accelerate.")

Where does one find these gumball videos? I looked some of this stuff up on google but didn't find them. What I did find is that these guys look like a bunch of rich boys who don't have to worry about the consequences because their daddy will cover it (not all of them, but it seems like many of them), be it with lawyers or money. Also, this Kimble guy looks like a tool. Finally, how do they not get arrested with all this photographic evidence?

Here's the link that I found in another thread.
http://www.tremek.com/forum/search.php?searchid=86833
And I think you're right, many of them are rich boys/girls who don't have to worry about it because they have so much money. Others aren't, like the guys who drove the Citroen 2CV. They filmed their "land speed record" of 72MPH :lol: . (Makes me want to do it in my old wagon.) They can be idiots, but entertaining.
Not entertaining is the fact that at least four of them should have died in the last one. Not to mention the bystanders who could have been killed. If you watch the videos where they're in Morocco you'll see what I'm talking about. How everyone walked away is beyond me. I guess the five-point harness gods were with them.

Looks like the search ID expired. This one should work.
In any event, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

Couple short videos: Try member # 94 or Polizei M5 a celebrity that has visited this forum.
His website is under member profile or http://www.gumball144.com/
There is a short documentary video about racing from NY to LA in 32 hours, another one where he has pulled over another competitor impersonating a police officer as a practical joke.

Files have all been converted to DivX AVI and in two versions, HI & MED bandwidths.
Check 'em out on the extended versions and let me know how they look.
If we're ok, I can announce the review tonight.
Bob.

They aren't rich boy and girls they are rich men and rich women. Kimble was not arrested because Morocco had no speed limit for the gumballers cause they were there with personal invite from the king the ferrari enzo was going 220mph
Kimble was once a computer hacker then moved on to internet security, the was busted for inside trading spent 6months in jail. The guy is extremely nice man i have talked to him before on his website http://www.kimble.org/ He himself it starting his own race, which will include prize money 1st place up to 2million. Kim is a rare breed of men with enough balls and having the money to fund it
However he did "cheat" his way to vitory(bragging rights) in the 2004 Gumball here is the final stage of gum ball the battle between Kim's CL300
and the 2nd place BMW d3(worlds fastest production desiel, 0-60: 5.9sec)

From what I can tell, Kimble is jerk that spams about "the ultamate rally" various message boards. His hacker skills send out private message to everyone on various forums, and if your email was listed on the forum, you would get emailed. I got a nice spam email about a race. He also logs on and posts spam on user other peoples user names. 6speedonline amost had to start fresh because he harmed their database. He is NOT liked on all car forums.
From what I read, Kimble paid off the police to stop the closest person behind him in the gumball race. He don't stop for the police, and gets all the other gumballers in trouble. This guy will do anything including cheating to win.
If anyone wants to follow the harm he did to car forums with his hacker skillz, here are some links.

Advertising, It's funny that i didn't read anything on those forums that is was Kims fault, spamming in general. From my knowledge of the gumball kim hasn't paid off poloce to pull people over. From my conversations with kim he is a nice/crazy german he pretty funny once you get to know him. He even did some stuff with 'The AIYA boys' (Asian Jacka**)

What do you mean? The first two said it was Kimble and I didn't bother with signing up to read the 3rd but I imagine it says the same thing. He even set up a gernade on one of the sites.

first one was from kimbles own forum you the ultimate rally which he is incharge of, and the second they link to his site.
I don't see it as spam because you actually can win up to $2million if you enter the rally, if Roy was to advertise his website that way i don't see a problem he is promoting products that actually work. not a site you got to go through 20 more sites giving you email at each one to chance getting an ipod.
ANd i don't see it as bad intentions when someone is offering you a chance to win 2million, it would be the same if i got an email from Roy he's offering my a way to limit speeding tickets.
In one way you can see his spamm as a way for them to fix their site with better security, it much like the hackers that broke into yahoo. yahoo is impossible to get to.
Then they(6speedonline.com) go and questioned the man crediblity forcasting that he will cancel it can keep the money. If they did some reasearch they would know that kim has already given up some of the profit so he can pay the way of certain street race teams so they won't pay anything. Kim just used junk mail to advertise and apparently it worked i get tons of junk mail a day but i never come plain about. You should all know is don't soubt the powerful cause they will come down on you Kim was even a sponsor for their forum and they were still acting that way
Yes he might of spammed people with advertisement of a his rally which will take place. But that doesn't make him a bad man he is a nice guy if you get to know him and are friendly with him.

I'm sure Roy would not like it if Kimble sent out private messages and emails to everyone on this forum about the ultamate rally without his consent. This is exactly what he did to all the forums he spammed.
When you sign up at car forum, the mods promise not to send you spam when you give them your email. Kimble bypassed the mods and spammed everyone anyway; not only with private messages, but with email. I hope got the royal treatment in jail.
He also spammed farrarichat forums and more:

Kim has been quoted "I don't have problems in jail" you see how big the guy is 6'7" 300+
he's been before jail obviously doesn't phase him

2 things, 1...he's not a strong guy obviously, so I don't think he's stature really helped there. And German jail ain't exactly US jail. I know a guy who spent a few months there (doing time for his father's crime, so he eventually got acquited, but it took a while) and he said it was no problem (and he wasn't trying to be a tough guy either). Also, do some looking around on Kimble. Most of his hacking was made up by him, and the stuff he did do was pretty petty.

I never really cared much about his hacking, he good with computers and he can do more than me, also he started an internet security company...you have to know your away computers alittle to be able to do security.
Any way back to the real topic, I saw Veil Guy's test and i most say it was amazing, the videos were great way to show the detectors
