buuusssttteedddddd

nice thought with the warning though

GGGGRRRRRRRRRR wait till i see the old man he just about fell off his chair when i told him i posted this
He loves a practical joke ha ha very funny
we will see how funny he thinks it is when i steel his car in the middle of the night
I have a spare set of keys to his pride and joy

do it do it do it and then park it outside some disreputable establishments and take lots of photos.

actully some pin based systems do have this as a feature, but Id never have believed it about atms...

and why does everything have to be about landrovers, we talk about lots of stuff thats not landrover, have you seen the mud pit?
