Old Skool security for GT3
Discussion
Heard on Radio 2 yesterday, Police are advising drivers, of top end luxury cars, to use Old Skool, security devices, from the 90s, because, car thieves are so up to date, with hacking modern alarms.
Found mine in the shed, dusted off, and coming to Europe with me. Last time used, in a Mazda 323 Turbo 1987.

Someone told me that the other day and I nearly laughed my conkers off. In the 80s and 90s, serious car thieves used to get past most of those devices in less than 30 seconds and sometimes less time than it took to put them on. If someone is going to take the time to get past modern security and defeat the satellite tracking system (standard equipment since the 997 launched remember, and they have no way to know if it is registered and in use), a krooklock is not really going to hold them back is it...?Orangecurry said:

Don't laugh. I have one of the old Disk locks that encapsulate the steering wheel completely. IIRC correctly they took a lot of brute force and an angle grinder to remove, if you didn't have the key.
I will be dusting it off and looking for the key as it will be ideal for a new hot hatch we have arriving next month. The lock last saw service on my 96 Golf Gti

I always thought the gear lever locks that were actually fitted to the car (welded on underneath in the tunnel) looked to be one of the most effective devices, convenient to use too. Similar thinking to the old Saab ignition switch by the gear lever where you had to be in reverse to remove the key - much harder to force that kind of lock than a steering lock.
