    love to get the device that you can get fitted only in south africa. its like a flame thrower that comes out from the side and underneath the car. if a driver senses he is going to be car jacked he presses two buttons and het presto the car thief is on flames and dies an agonising death - good for him

    bit of a !!!!!! if he's just tapping you on the window to tell you that you've got a flat tyre though medium-smiley-064.gif

    Another flaw - If you had to reverse out of the space then so should the car jackers. Surely they would then have to reverse past you.

    OK you couldn't do much about it but it seems so unlikely that I think the kind of people who would do it would probably just order you out of the car and drive off.
