Scooter-mounted flamethrowers apparently illegal in UK

[Blackseal]

Public Service Announcement: Apparently, it is illegal to mount a reverse-pointing flame thrower on the back of a scooter in the United Kingdom. Who knew? Not our man Colin Furze of Lincolnshire, England, that's for sure.

 

The 30-year-old Furze created a wicked awesome video of himself and the scooter, which allegedly showed him using the two-wheeler on the highway with the flame thrower attached. Want to see for yourself? Done. Click on past the break. Police spotted the videos on the Interwebs and promptly arranged to meet up with him.

 

According to Lincolnshire Police, "A man was arrested on suspicion of possessing an object converted to a firearm on Thursday. He was released on unconditional bail.'' That man is reported to be none other than Furze. Maximum penalty if found guilty? A prison sentence of five to seven years at Crown Court. What kind of world do we live in when an "anti-tailgating" flame thrower lands a man in jail?

I want some fitted to my car. Set fire to tailgaters. Burn down car robbers and thieves. What else can you do with flamethrowers?

 

Ah...

 

Start BBQ pit fire.

This device is very useful in JB where criminals wait for victims from our country.....should place the pipes below driver's and passenger's door....those attempting to carjack you....just press a hidden button ( of coz safely tucked away to avoid accidents....and u have an instant robber turned roast duck

My thoughts....

 

1) used to simulate NOS

2) used to simulate misfiring

 

Sounds like some Death Race thingy to me...

we do have our SG version

 

i heard got some sports car fix an old spark plug in the exhuast pipe

 

so when then step on the gas and there is unburned petrol coming out of the exhaust pipe, the spark plug will ignite a boom in the exhaust pipe

 

quite loud and eye & ear catching
