A cunning plan 9 years 5 months ago #152088

Well.. its been a few days since my last..

3:06 in the video..


Been sketching again... and as I have no door handles (inside or out) I reckon this is possible.. using one of these (one per door)

http://www.umbrellaworld.co.uk/personal/mens-umbrellas/automatic-umbrellas/carbon-steel-magic-auto-folding-umbrella--red.htm

Weld in stainless tube.. and a 12v solenoid that operates via a push button.. sprung loaded..

Ok.. so if you are thinking to yourself 'WHY?'.. Im not going to explain.. you wont get it :P

As my car is really a grand tourer.. with all new custom interior.. last thing I want is wet umbrellas inside it ;)

Plan is to build one on a bench over xmas.. if I can get it working.. Ill fit one in each door..

Because I can B)

B) What about powerful hot air fans to blow the rain away from the driver as he exits the car? :P :lol:

My mind is in overdrive as to what else you could have popping out of the door! However, I can't get throwing knives and belts of gold sovereigns out of my head, a la James Bond in 'From Russia with love'! :coat:

I didn't say it was my idea James...

Most of the stuff on my car has been pinched off other cars..

Not just Rolls.. Skoda and VW have done it too.. Plus others I expect..

I'd have thought with a Rolls Royce, someone would rush out with an umbrella and protect you automatically! :bust:

Back in my misspent youth, I used to know a bloke who was very talented at making hidden weapons compartments in car/truck interiors for the outlaw biker community.
If you didn't know what to look for you wouldn't know it was there.
Behind hidden panels in door trims (cards) could be .45s .357s etc.
Sawn off shot guns and worse behind hidden panels in seat backs.
He was a bad man but he was good at it!
