Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Stoplock?

Hey. Just wondering what you guys think of those stoplocks? Obviously they are better than nothing, but how much of a deterrant are they? Thanks.

If your car has an immobilizer I wouldnt bother with one, better off getting a safe to hide your keys.

The one in the pic is not great, the stop lock pro is much better, the one that locks over the wheel entirely is much better again. Makes the car next to yours easier to rob, not a bad deterrant.

A chain is a better cheaper option. The potential thief looks in sees a chain and go ahh fuk that and move on somewhere else. Where as he sees the stoplock and goes a slap of a hammer will have that off. :cool:
