Pulled over by police

[red900ss]

If I saw characters like kabab and carlo even walking down the street I'd be on to the cops too!!! :uh-huh:

Nah seriously good to hear. You can pick the Northside cops they have the Gucci loafers and Prada holsters.

I hadn't shaved for 2 days i had the Osama look happening

[jtir]

Do I get the 10 mill. reward?

[kabab]

Only if you buy me a RH9 spec R34 GTR

I've got the Region 1 version of Donnie Darko on DVD - and the soundtrack/poster Its a ****ing brilliant film and i've seen it about 6 times now. I've had the dvd for about 4-6 months now I think.

Amelie is excellent aswell - though its a lot different to the director's other films.

Guys, it's a pretty well documented fact that Brant alarms are very susceptible to EMF and radio interference.

If you're in an area with a lot of interference, you won't be able to arm your car, or worse.... DISARM your car when you get back.

I've had this happen a few times... Stood in front of the car like an idiot for 15 mins pressing the button, hoping to catch a break in the surrounding interference so I can disarm my car.

Here's an idea for you guys, if you feel like experimenting.

Park your car in St. Leonards. THEN see if you can unlock it. My theory is if it's bad in Chatswood (presuming it's RF interference), then it'll be shocking in St. Leonards!

Good to hear that you had a somewhat faith-restoring (or perhaps doubt-alleviating) Police encounter Carlo.

Yeah tex 10 bucks says its the same cop that followed us when you where driving my car.

[Tex]

Hmm, interesting... You might be right! Ahh well, now you know, he's just doin' his job.

I have the same problems with interference with wireless equipment in the chatswood area..... one day I decided to look up before I get in the car. Staring back at me is the big TV broadcasting tower for channel 9!!!!

Man!! That tower could keep you toasty warm if you could stand in front of the dishes butt naked!

Thats my theory anyways

Another place where you wont be able to arm your car alarm is in the car park for the telstra tower in canberra.

Try this:

Press the remote against your chin while pressing the button. It is known fact that human body can act as some kind of an aerial. Doing so will help your remote as it is "using" your whole body as a transmitter.

You will notice the range will increase as well.

I reckon whoever started that urban myth must piss himself laughing whenever he sees someone try it

course, it doesn't hurt to try.

I want Donnie Darko!

Actually the person who told me that is a professional alarm installer. I had the same prob parking @ local train station where a hi power line runs above the car park. Alarm won't arm/disarm. Pressing the remote against your chin helps to increase the signal from the remote and it might help to defeat the EF interference.

I tried, it worked, and nobody around you will notice you doing that... unless your remote is as big as a house brick and you're doing it for 1/2 hour jumping up n down n shouting madly.

[kabab]

Well it let me arm the car but wouldn't let me disarm !!!!!! oh well i am crying the code with me from now on

[JiMb0]

rs73 : I heard that you actually have to touch the remote to your tounge, kinda like when you test a 9v battery (everyone's done it before ) to get the full effectiveness

/me waits for the epidemic of people who "accidently" swallowed their remotes ...

[rs73]

what, after the remote gather all micro lints from your pocket or your bag? c'mon there should be a line between reality and pursue of "transmiter effectiveness"

[YO880]

nah.. you do hold it to your neck with your mouth open, it uses your throat to amplify/direct the transmission i guess, though you would probably also end up with throat cancer..

but it does work!

[rs73]

will it help if you sing out an "A" note while doing it as well?
