That looks a pretty good one. Think i'll order one of those and share it with my fellow nervous wreck Rangey owners! :D Cheers for posting it. :thumbup:
No experience with them myself, no one wants to nick a 12 year old 2.2 Civic, there are loads of versions about, some are proper armoured things that require supporting bracketry and look pretty decent.

\Anything is better than nothing on there, but, yes I should look into the other options before (typically) just jumping in...

I did see one more elegant solution, de-pin the OBD port and re-pin it however you like to prevent any OBD attacks, although it does require you to also make an adaptor should you need to use the OBD port for its intended purposes.

Or just put a hidden inline switch on one OBD wire.

Saw something as far south as Nottingham. Needed a camera to see the colours (green and pink) but it was like a radiating pattern of bands of haze

They had a competition for the design of the cathedral. I reckon the bloke that won had previously designed power stations. :D

Good location for it though, it reminds me of some of the French ones in the way it dominates for miles around.

As said before: "how do you know when a politician is lying? When they open their mouth" There's not an honest one amongst the lot of them.

I remember when the Eurovision Song Contest was about singing really cheesy and cringe-worthy Euro-pop tunes.....

Now it's gone all political and up it's own arse*...

Eurovision EU flag ban regrettable, Brussels says

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cw4dd9lzx02o

Can wave this flag, but not that flag. Can wave a rainbow flag, but not a non-binary flag (I'd struggle to know the difference). European politicians wading in for pro-European brownie points. It's all changed since Sandie Shaw caused a stir by taking her shoes off. :lol:



*Pun only half-intended. Mind you, it's bloody camp enough to make Brighton Pride look straight.... :)

A video portal was set up to allow New Yorkers and Dubliners to see each others culture but Dublin council doesn't want people to see Irish culture. WTF did they expect? :lol:

Pictures of the twin towers burning might have been a bit much but generally it's just funny, maybe they should have thought about how pub kicking out time in Dublin is early evening in NY.
