Just wondered if anybody else out there uses a road angel and if so are you having the same probs that im having with it...
Ok ive had it about 4 years and has given fantastic service and never let me down in my 911 but since it now lives in my Noble the dammmm digital speedo cant keep up under hard exceleration and takes time to catch up!!
So i think ive got 3 oppetions
(1) wear lighter shoes
(2)change my old faithfull Road Angel
(3) sell my Nob and get another 911
or does anybody out there use another trusted system with a digital read out that does the same job?

VBOX's have a higher sample rate so don't lag as much. All the consumer GPS satnavs and Road Angel types have 1 second update rates. Do 0 - 60 in 3 seconds and it'll be reading 40 ish when you're doing 60!
