Maybe that’s the shot I took just after I rolled her ;) It’s the right way up on mine?

Can any computer buffs explain why it’s ok on some and not on others.

More importantly,
The fitting of the extinguisher is a great idea....
I would possibly put it on the passenger side in-case it breaks loose & rolls under the pedals.

Living nr Birmingham as I do, the essential piece of additional kit in my X5 would possibly be a rounders bat.

In the last month alone, driving thru Birmingham, I've seen one car jacking, a roadside robbery, handbag snatch & some poor sod being roughed up at a cash-point...

Let alone the 3 stabbings locally to Litchfield in the last 30 days in the news...

However, a powder fire extinguisher blasted in the face of an attacker may also be a good self defense tool me thinks.

The reason for fitting under drivers seat is that the passengers seat has the standard fit container for the first aid box.

My partner removed all the 1st aid stuff in her X5 & replaced it with makeup, blusher & other powdery puff crap. I suggested sh add a putty spreader & some Poly-filler.... I got a slap for that one ha ha.

I must say, the baseball bat steering lock in the link above is a fabulous idea - I gonna get one today.
