Here's the link.  I didn't do any research, just got it cause a friend recommended it.  So far it does what it says on the tin.



I'm a little worried that you seem to have to unplug it from the lighter every time you stop, not sure how long that will last.

It also has a feature where it starts recording once someone shakes the car, meaning that it always records me getting into the car and making old man noises.  Delighfully pointed out by my kid.

Taco Bell. [smiley=puke.gif]

It's a serious disappointment here. The food is ... awful.  We went down there a couple of weeks ago, to City Center, and stood in line, and finally got to the counter to order a couple of tacos and were told "sorry, we don't have any beef right now."  (Say what? So, maybe putting up a sign might be a reasonable thing to do then, rather than have people wait in line for ten minutes for something you can't sell them, but advertise that you do?)  So we got some sort of chicken things that were kind of like little spicey burritos. Rice, chicken... and then crappy nacho cheese sauce stuff and some really vile jalepeno slices. The Daughter couldn't finish hers, I ate mine because I paid for it. And it made me sick to my stomach.

So, no more going to what passes for a Taco Bell in Glasgow!  Sticking to Five Guys on St. Vincent Street for a decent hot dog, instead.

We've been happy with The Handmade Burger Co and the other burger place right next to Five Guys on St Vincent's St.

We were just down there for dinner and Tim Horton's Timbits on Saturday night.

I know I'm required to make a dirty joke, but you are making it too easy.  Tim Horton's Tim Bits?

I'm sorry your Taco Bell experience sucked so bad!  I really hate when an American import doesn't live up to expectations.

I had a similar experience the one time we went to a Five Guys in Cambridge.  The fries were awful, and that's what I was looking forward to most.  I kept going on about how good they were before we got there, but then they were legitimately inedible!  And my husband didn't know how to order, and I didn't even think about advising him... so I ordered my burger ("single with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mayonnaise and ketchup"), and stepped aside for him to order.  He ordered a double cheeseburger... I didn't notice that he didn't specify anything else because I was distracted by the soft drink fountain...  We get our food, and mine comes out with all the stuff on it while he gets a double-stack of burger patties with cheese on a bun, no other toppings.  He was so sad, but British so he couldn't go back up to the counter to ask for toppings or even any sauces to put on it.  I offered to do it for him, but British, so obviously that was not an option.  So he ate his dry and boring cheeseburger, and we didn't eat the awful fries  (of course, we couldn't complain about those, either, because he's still British), and I couldn't enjoy my burger because my husband looked so miserable.  And the place looked like a tornado had struck, PLUS the music was really REALLY loud and it all felt very unpleasant.  Afterward he told me he thought it was odd when I ordered and specified everything I wanted, but he says I often do weird things, so he just thought I was being weird.  And I told him I thought it was weird that he didn't want ANYTHING on his cheeseburger, but I don't eat cheeseburgers, so what do I know?  :P

If the fries and the restaurant hadn't been such a train wreck, we might have tried again some time, now that he knows how to order, but paying nearly £30 for that experience put him off Five Guys forever.  And, I gotta say, it made me really sad, too.  (But I already struggle with fast food prices over here, so it's a hard sell for me.)

I miss Taco Bell.  Bad.  But the reviews I've heard from Americans who've been to one make me nervous.  I know I will be disappointed.  I know this.  But I miss it.  So I'm conflicted about going.  I don't want to meet my hero.

I'm happy with a McDonalds double cheeseburger. Tastes almost exactly the same to me! And cheap too!  :)

I've been back to five guys a few times, nobody in the family wants to go back to taco bell.

I loved Five Guys in the US.  When I finally got to take my husband to one here, I was so excited.  But then it was soooo appallingly bad I can't get him to go back (and I don't really try, because food shouldn't make me cry, but that food did).  Maybe it was a one-off, ... I mean, I don't see how that could be the quality standard and they manage to stay in business.  But the risk of fresh disappointment is not worth it to me.

And your review of Taco Bell is why I'm afraid to go to one here!  I don't want the UK Five Guys experience at my beloved Taco Bell.  I would just die inside.

We've got a huge 5 guys in Uxbridge and it's like crickets in there at lunch.  I don't think many people can afford a drink for 3.95 and fries for God knows how much, then a shake for £5

The good thing about taco bell was the bottomless drink at £1.20

I’m sorry that y’all’s Taco Bell experiences have sucked so far. But if you’re willing to try again, I thought this may be of interest.
