Re: Security concerns about your Marcos?

2001-09-14 by rhdspritemk1@yahoo.com

Jeff,

I dont worry to much about my cars when they are parked in public 
places.  I figure that both my Sprite and soon my Marcos both stand 
out as very different automobiles.  Very easy to spot and both not 
easy to drive considering they are both RHD.  My Sprite uses a 
combination of 4 toggle switches on the dash (no key) plus a push 
button for the starter to get it going.  If you get the toggles wrong 
the car may start but most likely the fuel pump wont be on and the 
car will die soon after.  This car would be easy to spot sitting dead 
in the middle of an intersection. Probably will cause a crowd to 
gather. 

Most people stealing cars want cars that dont stand out.  A Marcos is 
a very distinctive car and not a usual car that ends up in a chop 
shop.  I love taking my cars to places and standing back and watching 
the reactions.
