'The device acts as a small battery for cars'. I now finally understand why my car uses so much fuel- the damn battery is too big!
Anyway I'm getting the 6-car family package- it comes with a Bugatti Veyron!!
Watching “Transformers” tonight with the boys, it appears the old bugs had radios (don’t think they were stereo)[emoji12]Quote:

The engine slid out easy as,bloody simple.
One of my brothers had one for years,it got to the tip of the Cape and back no worries,except for not having a windscreen for a while after a Frogmouth decided to commit suicide.
There is a good vid on U tube of Larry Perkins rebuilding the one he used in a few rallys.
They are also good for a fast fan belt change.
Can be done with the engine running.
