What’s that called then Guv?

Tourbillon. (Sp.?)

I think the car is a Holden (Australian). The weapon, a taser.

 

[JimInOz]

Tourbillon.............

Holden (actually an EK, I had an EJ),
Taser, anything to do with the spiral wires?
Graph, (Function?)

Holding ????? Graph

Still not there.

Still not there.

Bloody close though

Tourbillon = 100%

EK, or is it an EH? was certainly meant to be

Taser, anything to do with the spiral wires? Not stunningly close
Graph, (Function?) Hmm, as Denise Richards says...

 

[Canuck]

Another word for a taser is a stun gun.

Sorry, I meant EH. I had a slush box EJ, my first automatic car, and the last for some time.

Nice
I had an fj Ute for a while

Bump!

First 3 clues have been identified correctly

4th has been identified phonetically

5th there’s some warning activity happening

6th- refer the clue

If @JimInOz is stumped on a rebus relating to a watch movement, then there’s scant hope for me.

Is it a particular method for stopping a tourbillon balance wheel… 😕

 

[TasMike]

I think it's something along the lines of:

tourbillon a (mislabelled/misunderstood) function

Where the controversy could be one of two:
1. The function is unnecessary on the modern wrist watch because wearing the watch performs the same function.
2. The tourbillon is misdescribed as a complication whereas it's a function (doesn't add any information to the dial)

But the kicker is the word that describes the cop with the taser.

Tourbillion Holding Stop Function?

Still blundering in the dark here.

 

[TasMike]

I've just looked up Denise Richards and she starred in a show called It's Complicated so the last word could be complicated or complication.

 

[TasMike]

Tourbillon a challenging complication?

tourbillon - already confimed by Matty to be correct
a - eh phonetically
challenging - the policeman
complication - from the complicated equation resulting in the chart and also Matty's reference to Denise Richards.

Tourbillon Hack Stop Function?

 

[Canuck]

I suspect @Matty01 doesn’t know the answer!

 

[Charlemagne1333]

An easy one, while we’re waiting for @Matty01 to spill the beans.

Who am I?

 

[Canuck]

Tutankhamun.

 

[Charlemagne1333]

Tutankhamun.

 

[Canuck]

Ah Ha! @Matty01 really has forgotten he posted this, and has likely forgotten the answer anyway!
