I've been packing bags ready for quick jaunt off to Dubai!

Business I hope - too bloody hot here for tourists unless you got vouchers in the Daily Mirror.

You can see the pink fat poor people a mile off at this time of year.

[PoleDriver]

Yep! 'Tis business! I've just checked the weather reports, looks like I'm in for a sweaty week!

Do you remember that I asked you about the Audi windows closing on the key?
Well mine doesn't so asked on an Audi forum and hopefully when I try their recommendations it will.
Just sayin.

[iva cosworth]

There was mention of a Bristol in TT earlier when that iva spotted one but needed identifying first.

This reply should've posted last night but phone flounced.

With mine you hold the button down until the windows open. Or close, depending on which button you are pressing.

With my BMW I have had to buy a bluetooth dongle to plug into the car and a seperate app to be able to get in and be able to do things like program global open/close and to get the mirrors to fold automatically when you lock the car. Either that or pay a fortune for bmw to do it for me.
Luckily the app/dongle combo works perfectly and also allows me to clear any error codes and find if there are any hidden faults.

My Frogeye had neither door locks nor exterior door handles. The early Minis had an ignition switch you could pull the connectors off and short with a paper clip. The Sprite had a pull start and the Mini had a push button start. Neither had steering locks. We got by somehow.

Previously owned by Jayne Mansfield apparently.

Our old Mini van, Land Rover and BMC horsebox had ignition keys. The same one fitted them all.

My brother had a Rover 800 coupe. He parked it at Heathrow, in the Multistorey carpark. On returning to the car he plipped it and another Rover further down the row flashed and opened too.

Bloody holidaymakers! I've never seen T5 so busy!

ETA and the Bombadier in Huxleys tastes disgusting!
