Just wait until it becomes mandatory on all cars and older cars need a retrofit before getting an MOT

Car Details:79' camaro road & track day toy. 383 stroker, 5 speed TKO trans, lots of suspension stuff, 13" Vette brakes, 18" wheels.
Location:Luton
Having driven my van for around a year before having the speed limiter removed I personally think it's dangerous. There are occasions where you need a few extra mph to safely overtake. Tw@ts... :evil:

I was thinking along those lines too.

and the vehicle's engine stops getting fuel until it slows down enough
So i'll stand at the end of a road with a fake 5mph sign and car jack people etc. as they won't be able to get away. Yay for safety :thumbdown:

How to post pics: When writing a message, scroll down and use the "attach file" option. Where possible, a photo sharing service can be used such as Flickr, Imgur etc. The image location (usually ending in .jpg) can be copy and pasted between the ][ brackets that appear when you click the 'Img' button (you can find this button at the top of the message box).

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

True, that's why I want my AK47 to have a 100 round drum magazine and a full auto option, just in case I need it to get me out of trouble. But I promise not to use it at any other time :mrgreen:
