I bet this won't get robbed very easily if you leave it on your dash. Stick a small lamp behind it and you can use it at night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squire_Dawson Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Gawd strewth. Who would carry a portable shitter around in their boot? Most people would find a tree.

I have no idea how that would work, but I'm guessing on pree ECU cars it would be somewhat "approximate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike60 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I had a Volvo 144 with a Maximiser on it when I bought which just made it up as you went along, probably not helped by the mileometer not working and the fuel injection being removed for carbs!

My grandfather made something similar out of an old camera, I think he wrote the route instructions on a till roll or something, and it did get robbed- in the 1950s, before crime had even been invented.

Spiny Norman Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I remember picnics in a Datsun 120Y with those little window mounted tables, they were ace*.Rally(e) jackets, I used to have a nice green Castrol GTX one when I was about 13, I was the envy* of all my schoolmates.My Dad often wore driving gloves, not the fingerless ones but the ones with the woven backs to them, I really fancy a pair myself now.
