Low Life Land Rover Owners

The British army have Sniper Detecting Radar for urban warfare. They park the Land Rover with the radar in the area, as soon as a bullet leaves a rifle, the radar pin-points the snipers position.

I was thinking of installing one of these to a Land Rover, coupled to a gattling gun with a "return fire" program.
This was to be a security upgrade for Paris-Dakar vehicles going through war zones.

Anyway, I figure it could have some local applications - maybe rubber bullets.

The driver is unaware of what is going on and the vehicle is acting in self defense.

6 x "D" cell maglite torch, legitmate reason for being in vehicle, mounts nicely onthe seat mount between drivers side and door and not a forearm in the world willstop it when that aircraft grade aluminium comes crashing down with the weight of 6 large batteries. great security and can't get you in trouble like a bseball bat, at night legitimate reason for leaving the vehicle with you, quick flash in the stubbie weilding freaks eyes and then smash paybacks a bitch.Police attend , common sense to take a torch out at night, hit in reflex to self defense

anyone throw a stubbie or rock at my car they will be having an uncomfortable ride down to williams where Landy andy and I can get evil in his shed.

I've generally got a good armoury of words to express myself but I fail miserably when trying to describe the type of person interfering with someone elses property. There are no excuses, everyone should know what is OK and not OK. I for one agree that these type of people should experience physical pain for their actions so next time, unless they enjoy pain, they will have second thoughts.

Had a similar experience some years ago with my IIA. Stopped at Gulgong for a swim on a hot days travel heading North. Somebody nicked a few stud nuts. Bugger me, driving towards Dunedoo I think it was, and my left front wheel goes a rolling off to the left into the bushes. Fortunately I was able to get the rig onto the virge and roll to a stop with no damage. Fortunately a IIA wasn't that fast.

On a closer look noticed 4 of the 5 wheel nuts were completely undone (1-2 turns to come off completely).

This is a disturbing trend.At the moment,'round my way,there is a rash of 4wd spare tyres going missing.Lets just hope that karma IS a vengefull elephant

.My maglite only compliments the spare handle for my log splitter,the axe,hand held mattock,long handled shovel,chainsaw................................... .

There is nothing worse. Had someone try to steal the mags of my old datto once. They strippedd the thread on one of the nuts so slashed the tyre instead. I had to drive it home as we couldn't get the tyre off. I did discover that at 60 and over the car balanced nicely but below that it would sink back down and ba a slug.

Yeah one of the blokes I work with had the stereo, and the thousands of dollars worth of stuff stolen from his datto, then he had the datto stolen, rolled, and torched.
Now what kind of B

d would do that???????

OK, flogging the stuff is rotten, but back in my Datto days (ah, the first car) I only had fire, theft and third party property insurance. If someone HAD stolen it, I'd have appreciated them torching it as well instead of returning it damaged. Still, glad neither happened. Did have a mate who's car was stolen and flogged to death- every panel bent except the roof - and because he found it himself the police thought it was an inside job. But fortunately the low-life who stole it left all his subpoenas (for car theft) on the front seat. 8O
