Isn't it just the best feeling when your Tuscan seat belt inertia sensor finally realises there is nothing to worry about and lets go that steely choke hold !
Its like every time I go out I develop asthma then recover !! smile

I normally look like I'm having a seizure when I try to get mine off for when I'm reversing - crap neck mobility due to rugby shinannigans.

Not a cool look in the car park.

Cruise up.
Spin front end out infront of parking spot.
Seizure for 10 seconds to undo belt
5th - > reverse. Cruch.
Try again.
Crunch.
Harder.
Slot.
<woo hoo, I've got reverse!>
reverse.
Fall out door inelegently.
Lock car.
Refuse to resist a cheeky look back at it (not cool, cool guys keep walking).
Realise keyfob didnt work.
Stand pointing it at car hitting repeatidly.
Lights flash.

Beer.

You see out of the de-tuscan procedure I could only look remotely cool for the first 2 out of 11 procedural points.

Any my car is barbie pink.

IT's awesome biggrin

At least your windows work hehe

I have to go through the above, then spend the next 5 minutes trying to convince the driver's window to close.

Ahh the old reverse cruncher.. I couldnt get my head around this 5th to reverse thing. Drove me nuts and always crunched! I can get it to go cleanly now though!

I devised this system of putting it into 1st and then changing up through every gear upto 5th and then it goes straight into reverse no problems, no crunches. Must stop the box and line all the gears up.

You look like someone playing Daley Thompsons decathalon on an old spectrum computer whizing the joystick about rapidly, but it works (Anyone not in their 30's wont have a clue what im on about)
