i cannot believe you would even consider using a 15 yr old flare :roll: as for having it in the car :shock: :lol: for once i agree with Matty :shock: :lol:
you can buy flares from a chandlers (sp) thats a boating supply' s shop to you
as you may be aware they' re meant to be used in a emergency not in a field so you may find the price wont be to your liking
better add :roll: dont left them off on a beach at night or you might suddenly find yourself involved in a search and rescue hunt (seen it happen) i believe you can be prosecuted for that btw
