It should be ok mate - I'm moving house on Friday, and the new place has a private driveway, instead of the shared parking area that my current place has. This should (hopefully) be considerably more secure, as I will be able to fir security lights, cameras etc.

As for the alarm, it has a Cat one alarm on it as std, which I will no-doubt be backing up with some other systems. I'm toying with the idea of going for Pentagons security film on the windows, which will not only make the car tougher to break in to, but if I go for the lightly smoked stuff it will reduce their chances of seeing into the car also.

what car do you have now si?

I'm gonna put the 20vT in a shopping trolley. the power to weight should be around 10000bhp/ton ;D dunno what the cornering will be light though.

Dry those tears, The scoob has just landed.

No camera here, but will try and get some up over the weekend.

Diz, I reckon the 20vt unit in a shopping trolley would indeed by quick, make sure you pick the one without the wonky wheel, or cornering will be twice as bad as you think it will!! LOL

The spoiler thats on it the standard tea-tray one.

The huge one is coming!!!

Subaru wanted nearly ?1000 for it, sprayed and fitted. I can buy one from Scooby world for ?300 and have it painted for approx ?50, so I'm going down that route

i still reckon theres a market for an ED209. Buy one, get it to guard your car....
