I purchased the cheaper
Excort from Valentines previous company because I couldn't get the V1 off the shelf here in Canada; but then with this new twin turbo and the condemnation of speeders alike; I decided I better just get the
V1, then I put the two side by side (still have it that way) to test them against each other.
The escort gives me false 'spurts' of full blast alerts; which scares the heck out of a guy when he's over 200Km/Hr!
The V1 is excellent! I love it and I'm sure it's saved me the cost time two already and I've only had it a week.
I speed way too much; its habitual and the twin turbo is no help either
It only took about a week to receive ordering off the website, international to Canada too;
