Boot emergency release handle

[V8 Animal]

Can anyone explain this please

[Baron Von Alders]

Some daft H&S rule if you've somehow forgotten that you've shut someone in the boot they can then get out by pulling the handle

Haven't you seen Quantum of Solace? It's the Mr White release handle...

Emergency release handle for pet dwarves.

Corrected for facts (seriously!)

So no one really knows but AM?

[JohnG1]

Explain what? It's an emergency boot release handle to unlock the boot from the inside.

It is a requirement of US safety standards!

So they removed it from the Bond QoS DBS, I suppose, although Mr White was tied up, I think.

You'll find them on most (all?)cars in the US, but normally they aren't fitted in Europe, AM must think its easier to just put them in every car.

Can't imagine why, but Americans must climb in car boots, close the lid, then need a way to get out again. Maybe the boot accommodates larger people more easily?

Thanks for answering my question

A lot of kids playing games locked them selves in trunks. Now, some people might just consider that to be evolution at work. But we have a lot of people here that don't believe in any of that science stuff.

This whole statement is funny, true, and sad, all at the same time.

This is why you need to ensure you tie up and gag any victims you plan on putting in the boot of your Aston

[MichaelV8V]

If you go for a sports exhaust they you won't have to bother gagging your new passenger
