I look forward to targeted EMP's which can take out the scumbags  8-)

can you down load one of them?  :-?  :-?
WTF is an EMP?  :-/  :-/  ;)

Electromagnetic pulse, you not watched any films?  ;D

Seriously, they are the modern nuke. They take out all electrics on any device within the range of the device. It goes bag and within a certain range, it will fry any electrical device.

Currently they are rather large and can't really be targeted, but given time, i can genuinely see a gun of some type fitted to plod cars in 20 years time. Just target, and fire, will kill the cars electrics.

Some more info here:

Exactly. I can see nanny state fitting a remote controlled kill switch to every new car eventually, though. I've always said buying new cars is a mug's game.  ;D

EDIT: Also remember that most of a car's electronics is inside a Faraday cage, so it might not work as well as Hollywood imagines!

its a 1997 r reg its a prefacelift but its got steering wheel controls and xenons so im guessin its a mini facelift

the bit next to the stereo is missing so im not sure what should be there but there is a plug there


if poss would some 1 be able to take a pic of the plug on the tc switch that is next to the stereo just to compare to the plug on mine

but if it should be in the row with the hazzards any ideas why i aint got any wires goin there


given the year i would have thought it would be the big button next to the radio,also if the tc light is flashing and the revs drop when the wheels start to spin the switch has been bypassed so you cant turn tc off,or is my line of thinking off the radar.

if however the switch should be withthe hazards there should be tell tell signs which wire/wires have been played with imho

But someone has to buy them - otherwise where would the supply of used cars come from?
