Yup, Bob\'s hit the nail on the head there.

I think someone\'s half inched mine at some point as it was there when I bought the car :(

I think it\'s illegal to have these without them being deactivated? I\'ve got one but I ain\'t letting it off unless I really have to

I think after 14 years these things might be a bit unstable! so i don\'t want one, but guess if you have onethat looks ok, it could mean your car has never broke down!

I think they are illegal in this country. Anyhoo after 14 odd years they don\'t really work anymore. I had one in my car and decided to test it. Nothing.

All you do is take it out of your car and pull the cap off and off it goes.

I lived in Japan for a year and drove bloody miles and NEVER saw one used.

Ah yes, otherwise it would be a bit dangerous.

Imagine your girlfriend in the car, adjusting her shoes (or whatever they do) and it going off by her legs...don\'t think she\'s appreciate that one...she\'d make you choose between her and the rex...and we all know which would win ;)
