Physical security

[CVP]

I'm due to pick up my Elise on Saturday . As it's an S2 it will have the Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser on it already, but as it will live off the road but outside the house(under a cover) I was thinking of some physical security too.

I know this would not deter a professional, but I would like to deter any amateurs and make them have a look at the Beemer across the road. Do any of you take any such measures?

I was thinking of installing a couple of D rings into the cement outside the house and then passing a big motorcycle chain through the rear wheel and padlocking to the D ring.

Thoughts?

Mmmm, good point. Could be time for a rethink. I guess just boxing in with the Leon could be more practical.

You're right there training is high on the list of things to be done. I guess like a lot of people I have grown up with front wheel drive. I have driven a reasonable amount of RWD, but never before had RWD and mid-engine, so training is a must.

Instead of chaining it, you could get a security post. Also as mentioned storing the steering wheel in the bedroom helps and could be integrated into other activities

To be honest I live in a low crime area, so I think having a Beemer and Audi nearby will be more attractive to any potential thieves / vandals.

DanH, you're a more imaginative guy than me if you can incorporate the steering wheel into other activities Or is it that I've just been exposed to too much Mungo & Podie so I'm only thinking down one line
