fahst and furious

Interesting note on the alarm/immobiliser front. I called and e-mailed and it turns out that we DO have an immobiliser. Phew! However, because it was not fitted by a VSIB authorised fitter, Norwich Union will not insure against theft. We have to take it to an audio store (what I wouldn't do for a Best Buy right about now) and have them stamp a little sheet of paper indicating that it was fitted properly.

When I inquired,"Are people regularly in the habit of stealing 13-year old cars?"
The agent replied, "Well, no but the Golf GTI...it's...em- a boy racer car."

Who knew??! Now I can finally learn how to do the Tokyo Drift. (See The Fast and the Furious part (I-can't-believe-we-made-another-one-of-these) III)

Or, if you know him...just ask Derek.

ha ha - boy racer car - that's funny. I still am wondering how the immobiliser works, does it stop the gas (excuse me petrol) flow or is it just one of those steering wheel locks? I suppose we had an immobiliser (Engl. spelling) on the old van. We just hit a switch and the gas was cut off - who knew we were up-to-date back then with that hunk of junk. Love, Mom
