Yup. In the EM footprint of Fylingdales you're OK so long as you don't turn
off the engine.....coz then it's MODPlod tow truck time if you have
electronic ignition.

However so long as you kepe the engine on it stays on.

Maybe we could just give the cops some insurgent IED training.....coz they
seem to be able to effectively stop a moving vehicle....
