setting off other car alarms when starting up

[paulhaveawhisky]

Out with the wife shopping at the local retail park yesterday and as usual I parked the Tuscan a bit away from the crowd of cars to try and prevent someone hitting my car when parking. A bit later the wife having purchased a fair bit in the sales decided it was a bit too far to carry and asked if I could bring the car over. Their was a bit of a young crowd by the local fast food van watching me get into the car, so I thought I would give it a bit of a start to keep them happy . I could not hear it, but the wife told me on my return to her, I managed to set off the car alarms on about 4-5 cars in the car park.

Never noticed this before, is it common? Mind you it shows the recent de-catt is the business.

Paul you little tinker!

Good innit...I once got a round of applause from the local yoofs in The Glades car park in Bromley as my old de-catted Griff set of several alarms all in a row.

Childish behaviour but great fun

See you soon mate.

I always thought it was an essential requirement of owning a TVR. Best one for me was 4 alarms in a Multi-Storey carpark in Preston

I got 9 once in a Morrisons multi-story going up the ramp. The parking attendant counted the alarms and asked if I could beat it on the way out!
