NERV Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 thats an old story, heard about it years ago, look at the date on the article, its from 1998, they would never allow it in america, people would rewire it and blast it at a cop who pulls them over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robokochan Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I'm sorry...but that is just over-kill. Plus imagine what it would do to the paint job after repeated use. And it wouldn't kill anyone....toasted that test dummy pretty good. ROb MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Altought the flamethrower looks cool(and sounds cool ) I personally feel the Trunck Monkey is a better investment, with minimal upkeep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skunkobot Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 One of the things you have to realize about this is how ridiculously common carjackings are in S. Africa, and also of course, how dangerous they are there. I don't have the figures, but the odds are stacked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I heard how S. Africa was really bad on carjackings. The salesman at the Toyota dealership in GA that sold my my bro car was saying how lawless it was and even worse in the rural areas hence why he left.
