so agree with what you say, my polo is so nippy at the moment (since its last service) that it seems to keep up with 1.4's lol and i've had it to just over 105 (whoops didnt write that bit!)
about the rush from getting chased, i've had that alot though not much lately, since i took off my jap stickers and the GTI badge i get raced less!

Pepper spray pens

Post by bloomfield_5 »

Further to the pepper spray pens, you can get them on ebay. They sound like a great idea. They are small, compact and very effective.

Worth every penny, no one would guess it was pepper spray until you squirt them in the eye. Or if stopped by the police it just looks like pen. Just hope they dont ask to borrow it lol

don't think i really get chased in the g40! probably cause of the lack of badges and the hubcaps that are currently on there!

i carry a maglight torch in my car which is big, heavy and solid!

a mate of mine would no about how serious the police take to someone possibly having a gun! made interesting conversation the next day at college! and it was only a BB gun!
the police closed off the road and made them lay on the floor in a puddle! was very funny!

what about one of those wooden blue peter guns like In The Line Of Fire or Die Hard, whichever it was..

just looks like a set of kiddie building blocks and dowels til you quickly put it together and pop a cap... well.... a flechette anyway.

i didn't say this.....

but if you're into biking, then a seatpost in the door pocket is a very easily explainable object, should you ever be asked about it

yet they have a nice hefty weight on the end, in the shape of the seatclamp, and in 350mm or 400mm lengths they offer a good swing!

i've got a few of those kicking around varying from short 250mm ones to a 450mm.
think the 350 steel one i have would be the best though.
