You should invest in a decent set of wheels... use some of your dosh from selling your over priced London semi ...

You telling me you drive a throwaway? Recyled insurance write-off or cut and shut? Tend to target these old bangers for that reason

Personally find old cars get nicked because you can actually nick them more easily....



Track days... holidays in Germany.....



I would give you a producer ... check everything on the car I could conceivably nick you for... after all more than likely not to be taxed or insured as insurance and tax collectively probably exceeds value of the car....

Amazing how often that occurs as well in our certain pockets of chavburbs...

[quote"chap with daft name and I refuse to type it as matter of principle]maybe in your neck o the woods, theives still hotwire cars.

But here in london they just take your keys.[/quote]

Arfur Daley!

A Peter says - you are a silly boy who leaves them on the hall table. Besides - thought you said you drove a wreck?

That to disguise fact you are a naff diver then (just kidding.... or am I )



Oh - do I have your prints on file then ?

They dont have to take them from your hall, they take them straight out of your wifes hand, and she better not argue. Even yours if you are none too quick.

If keys dont start your car but fingers do, what are they going to take?

As for retina scaners..................dont go there.


The benefits of an old wreck are countless, get a puncture....leave it in a ditch, get a wheel clamp.......get the bus.

Best of all, it gives you the bonus, that if anything happens, and the cops are gona be asking lots of dificult questions.........well you can always just get out and run. They are too slow to catch you, just be sure n go cross country.

Blimey - you are odd! Most blokes complain that it is all my fault cos I cannot be prat@rsed to get out me blue lights and me whoo-whoos and come and arrest the mugging villains - as am more concerned with nabbing real criminals in their cars .....




Do that and I will do you under the "Refuse Disposal (Amenity) Act of 1978 in which s 2 states that any person without lawful authority abandons on any land in the open air or on any land forming part of the highway, a moor vehicle or anything which formed part of a motoro vehicle and was removed from it in the course of dismantiling it

... shall be guilty of an offence....


S 11 includes trailers...as well.





Too slow to catch you? Besides - you would be not be running that fast as you keep bangin' on about speed being dangerous .... you might trip and hurt yourself!

Man - they make us work out and give us bikes and fast cars with whoo- whoos and flashing lights

You are fair game as one of them blinkin' drivers ...... bigger criminal than a burglar and we can do our bit for the economy by ensuring your dosh goes straight to the Top Boy whose consitituency is in our patch....

A development is in train - but not for bangers - that will put a stop to this. Volvo are on it (and others will follow soon). Not allowed to talk about it (although it may by now be public domain). It's a godsend for women alone - for peace of mind.

I was reading in another forum about a guy that had his nissan stolen. The police caught the thief with several sets of keys to other stolen cars in a stolen vehicle, including the guy's nissan and they bailed the chap. The UK has one of the highest car crime rates in the world and letting them out straight off doesn't help. It would be much better to lock them up straight away so they can't do a flit.

How do they let magistrates let these career criminals out on bail?

Hmm. So if they want to steal your car they have to take the owner as well??? I can imagine the sort of thing, either biometric keys, rfi tags in something unobtrusive. Hopefully they'll make sure they theives can drive off but only 50 m or so then you can have time to hide before they come back to beat you up. Bullet proofing as standard? That'll do wonders for fuel economy

Much better to tackle why cars are stolen and stop there being money in it. Inventing a new type of x ray machine which could scan export crates for car parts and cars so that none of them ever got out of the country would be a great disincentive for stealing cars.

The joyriders are a different problem. Council run racetracks where all young people can go play cars in safety might be an idea. Instead of limiting it to convicted car criminals which causes resentment then you make it availble to all the young folk in the area. I'm sure the middle classes would get narked with all these people with their max power bodykits hanging around but if it means they leave their pride and joy on their drive rather than having it handbraked turned around the nearest out of town shopping centre then they should be happy.
