Wonder if anyone can help with a couple of problems?
1. Its my birthday soon and the wife asked me what I wanted, well I really want one of those gadgets that turn the indicators on after you start turnin the corner, I know they must make them , seen loads of people useing them.

2. I know I have watched Star Trek on a couple of occasions but I am not an avid fan, trouble is I seem to have acquired one of their cloaking devices and it has attached itself to my Range Rover, stops people seeing my 2 1/4 ton garden shed coming towards them. Only this morning a very nice lady in a micra reversed into it at the local shops, she didn't see she said. Any ideas on how to remove said device greatly received.

Number 1 is readily available from most car dealers these days, and I am pretty sure they can retrofit as you do see older cars doing this aswell.. Try and get the top end model with the 10 second delay after braking before the indicator is allowed to function.

Number 2 is more difficult i would recommend banging a numpties head against your car repeatedly looking for echo's and dull thuds the device will be located near on of the dull thud area, so best to map the entire car with the above numpty head banging method prior to removal of the devive. BTW you may need several numpties to completely map the car as they have terrible habit of dying half way through.

Yeah I seemed to have inadvertantly brought the Vauxhall and Yamaha joint cloaking device. Oddly enough it seems to be more active on the Astra! I think the bikes exhaust gives the position away...

The Yamaha unit is actually a standard fit option on nearly all bikes. I believe its called the 'sorryididntseeyou' engine. Its believed to be most effective against Mercedes and Volvos.
