In the 70's, those 6-8 ft long glassfibre whip aerials! They would wobble around all over the place so you would then by a clip so the end clipped to the roof gutter! The point being??????

My apologies, I must have been stuck in another thread I'd just read confused

If it gets me a woman with her norks hanging out in a Ferarri, I'll have some.

On the other hand, more likely it would get me a Kappa Slapper in a Kev'd up Nova (or similar). Perhaps I'll just leave them and as a bonus I won't look like a tt!

Electronic Dump Valve CLICK

It's an under bonnet speaker which makes a Tsssshhhhhhhhh noise when you change gear in your Nova/Corsa/Saxo/Whatever.

"The SABER-EDV is the ONLY way to gain the DUMP VALVE sound without spending thousands on a turbo conversion."

Gotta be in with a chance of winning the thread IMO.

I think it's well smart. I got one to fit onto my Corsa Merit and it just transformed the car! All the people I pass, think I've got a Calibra Turbo conversion or something now! I pulled up with some lads alongside in a Clio 182 and after accelerating and they heard this, they turned to look at me and backed off! Mental kit - one that I cannot recommend highly enough if you want to sound cool... smile
Fek me!! I can't believe they put this on there site. It has to be some kind of "ironic joke", like GLC. Either that or they _really_ know their target audience well. If I hadn't seen this for sale at a couple of car shows I would have thought the whole product was a wind up.

...With the Decano Self Adhesive Sunroof the only risk you'll take is with the throngs of women that will doubtless be drawn to you as a result....

I was going to mention the electronic dump valve - They do sell, quite well, one of our customers sells car tuning parts, as well as a few more "chavvy" items and apparently they are quite a good seller.

I've seen "spinners" on the wheels of a beat up Micra before, it was shocking. The OH wouldn't let me video it for prosperity!

Most useless car accessory must be the rear view mirror in an Exige. The windscreen's small enough without putting something in the way for absolutely no good reason.
