Young Jeremy Steals A Car || Old Top Gear

Young Jeremy goes around the town stealing cars and briefing about the safety features

[@whoarewe7515]

And many years later Jeremy had the BMW alarm fitted to his ford gt40

[@UberPanzerhund]

Your car's been stolen!

[@DiRF]

Jeremy didn't want the alarm fitted, but, due to the value of the vehicle, the insurer required Ford to install the immobilizer before he could take delivery of it. It was a finger-pointing game between the insurer, Ford, and the third-party that Ford had contracted to install the immobilizer. Just a total fuster-cluck.

[@stonerman15]

Wtf lol.

[@munroe5437]

And he LOVED that alarm didn’t he, the car always started first time too

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

I know this is pedantic… But it wasn’t a GT40, it was a GT… if it was a GT40, he’d have got even less time behind the wheel than he did considering nobody over six foot two can drive it with the door shut.

[@sanderrehepapp5219]

Used to have one, absolutely loved it, but had to get a more economical car, and sold it to a friend/acquaintance in 2013, a few months ago I found out he scrapped it, didn't even ask if I wanted to buy it back or anything(sold it to some guy for 400€, because there where lights ON on the dashboard and no power steering), been thinking of buying one now ,but it's a 5k car for a good one and there's even a dude asking 8k atm, And even nostalgia taken into account,it's not worth that

[@LBSiUK]

it was almost definitely staged lol

[@rajgill7576]

Older cellular tech used more power, with towers fewer and farther between the signal would drop less often, but just be slow overall. You could literally power led light "stickers" that flashed when it rang with old Nokia phones. The point of 4g is more frequent but smaller antennas, so a much weaker but ultimately faster signal with multiple points of connection. It can drop when you lose signal, as the signals are much weaker

I had my window busted on Halloween. Caught the thief on 3 different cameras, and got his license plate as he hung out in my driveway for 10 min before leaving. Police won't do anything. I did their entire job for them and they can't so much as run his plates so I can press charges, or patrol the neighborhood occasionally.

Uber luxury, super smooth 4.2tdi & still a dream to drive, unlike the other 2 off roaders. Which I tested & drove. Yes, in-between I've tried to do better, but it all failed. The 6.0 Flying Spur, the 3.0 tdi Phaeton, Merc GLK 2.0 TDI, equal luxury to the old bus, but electric modern headaches & super expensive parts in the end. Friends have the 2020 Range Rovers new ones, every 6 months, they spend more time in the repair garages thus making them, OFF THE ROAD. Only the Kia Sorento 2.2 td was near to the old bus, excellent 38mpg, but failed in comfy seats.

I mean it ain't any safer than a regular alarm system that will do that automatically, the cables are still there and there is a way to bypass it, if you can with normal alarms you can with the manual one.
