I'd hoped to run the wiring in to the switch a...

Siren and sounder module search

Re: Fame at last!!!

Re: a not so brief history!
im hoping at some stage to go on a road trip through europe and take her home but was worried about being pulled by the coppers for the stickers and fake sirens, i have still got the coat of arms on the doors so i guess some temporary white sheet stuck over them would be the only solution for that /:)
