smokie999 · 19th January 2007, 06:20

is it one of those very rare e-bay items

ColinB · 19th January 2007, 07:06

Is it available in right and left hand drive forms?

ColinB · 19th January 2007, 07:08

Oh, and can it be fitted with a zenon conversion?:lol:

Simon W · 19th January 2007, 07:38

Yes it's available in left & right hand drive versions (at extra cost). Xenon conversions are also availaible (at extra cost), as are Midsomer Murder Special Edition versions (at a gargantuan extra cost).

In the Midsomer Murder Special Edition, the standard lamp (shown above) is replaced by a high-power film lamp called a Dino 24 - a 24,000 watt carbon arc light.

NB. This version is only available when purchased with an extremely dark pair of sunglasses. Customers are also advised that the Dino 24 weighs 88kg - we recommend fitting heavy duty suspension struts and a reinforced bonnet prior to ordering.

This is all very well, but what if the early warning device were to get blocked by fallen leaves etc. Maybe some kind of spyhole mod would be in order so the lamp could be checked regularly.

We had thought of that already, which is why we are offering our customers the ECU Shift Option (at extra cost of course). This involves re-positioning the ECU on the Front Passenger Seat, thereby negating the need for a drain hole. The early warning lamp itself is completely waterproof and does not require any maintenance apart from bulb changing.

Great, put me down for 3. I only have one 75, but you can't have too much of a good thing can you. Do you also offer the Wife Shift Option where she gets dumped unceremoniously in the boot.

Sorry Simon but I think this looks rather stupid!!

How about mounting it on the dash righ behind the steering wheel? That way even my missus would see it....
