[QUOTE=one caveat it didn't work on every gate.[/QUOTE]

I’ve found that the one on our car only works half the time at the gate on Meggison when I come in off the turnpike. Works well at pretty much every other gate north and south. Strange how that happens.

I'm happy to see someone is willing to take the heat that's likely forthcoming from the Moderators.

1. Which came first, the Land Rover or the Villages home?

2. Either way, did he not realize there would be a problem?

I would not recommend anybody doing this, not safe at all.

When we had our big RV we used a telescoping pole, which was actually a car antenna. We hot glued a clip to the end to hold the card. That might work in his case.
