Default Does anyone else....

...when driving your RS or whatever nifty motor you've got, get a little paranoid driving home - especially at night - and check to make sure you're not being followed?

The last few nights I've circled in to my house like a Native American [how P.C. am I?] just to be on the safe side. I must admit, it's all these stories you hear, Nath getting his car nicked from his garage, Karl and that horrible thing happening in his 3dr.

And I'm sure the government are after me because of the work I'v been doing to overthrow them.

Joking aside, I have to say if a car been following me for too long and I am alone in the car, I will sometimes go around the block tom make sure they are not following...

Oh and the car keys are hidden when going to bed....

I'm Mr. Paranoid now, always go round the block if anyone is following, another car is always up against the garage, both are alarmed, one has steering lock on it and the other has a wheel clamp

oh and forgot to mention the cctv camera and revolving gun turret on the roof of the garage
