The idea came to you passing a Renault on the motorway, self deploying towing eye by any chance? :)

However he spends a lot of his time and money litigating with everybody from Amazon to Beijing to try and stop the rip-offs that went in to production almost immediately. Unfortunately the copies are 5h1t and have damaged the reputation of the real thing, it's a nightmare TBH.

If I had a bright idea I'd see a patent lawyer and think about flogging/licencing it
Can i have his contact details for marketing it in my territory?

Funny enough as I have a Renault Kadjar for the next few weeks and I'd quite like it if someone could develop the 007 wheel slasher to put it out of its misery..
Brand new and some serious tech on it that BMW should learn about, but it's like piloting a jelly fish

Comedy feature is a lane departure that buzzes in the door on the side of the departure.
My wife thinks the car has a fault as she hasn't worked out what the annoying buzz is :)
