are there any gadgets that you have always wanted in or on your car? are they daft and themed to james bond? or are they practical and are put to use daily?

i like the idea of having a switch on your stering wheel like ferraris do with options on how to make your car go: sport, comfort or bonkers

i always fancied the computer analogue rev counter from the skyline 34
or a full computer installed in the car take care of all my music and videos games from when you in trafic jams. diagnostics from the ecu

dont think i could be bothered with the setting what would be the point of the likes of sport buttons which increase throttle response and stiffen suspension you would prob have them on all the time

Some of the guys over on www.ffoc.co.uk have an in-car computer installed into the dashboard. Stevie-G (http://www.stevieg.org/carpc/) is one person who's done it particularly well and documented the process to some extent for others who want to put a fully-functional pc into their car.

Considering that a car is most people's largest expense, next to a house, it's only fitting that it should fit the bill.

I've often wanted stinger missiles behind my headlights.

One cool gadget Mercedes Benz have come up with is a night vision camera that you can use in conjunction with looking out of the window with the headlights on to give you a clearer view of what's ahead.

I agree with the last post, missiles behind the headlights and perhaps a mounted turret on the bonnet. Ideal for taking out the pesky Sunday Drivers & Boy Racers...
