Parking Next to the Same Model
Discussion
Many years ago my dad had a white Lancia thema 16v turbo, one day returning back to the carpark where it was parked, he got in, drove about half a mile down the road before realising that it wasnt his car! He went back to the carpark to find his Thema a couple of spaces down! What's the chances of the key fitting another car hey!
Outside my mum's house there used to be two almost identical blue Fiat Puntos and two actually identical VW Touaregs parked. It took me a while to spot them together so I thought I was going mad as the plates kept changing. Only once did I see them all together. I was hoping some sort of magic was happening but I never came out to an extra Volvo Amazon or Audi 80.

That's worrying. Does anyone know what the actual odds are of two cars having the same locks? SpudLink said:

My mum used to have a Vauxhall Viva, which, when both parents were out, could be opened, started, and driven without a key at all. My brother and I simply used an old butter knife that mum kept on the kitchen windowsill (outside) for use in the garden. The car eventually moved behind the house when it broke down, awaiting "doing up" by my dad, but it never moved again. Finally, it was scraped up into a trailer, mostly with a dustpan and brush, such was the state of it in the end.

Haven't actually seen the opportunity to do this yet... have waved at plenty of other minis but nothing doing.
What I do instead is park next to much larger cars for amusement...
