Yep, followed by taunts of "We're going home, we're going home, you're not, you're not !" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like doesn't it go off when you either take the key out or walk away from the car (if it's keyless) I walked into a local bar (er in Spain) Where a bloke had been sat at the bar for two hours with his car engine still running outside!!!

Northern Red Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 There's a famous clip from a commentary on 5Live from a few years ago where a "would the owner of vehicle reg...." message is played over the tannoy, only for Alan Green who was commentating to exclaim "hold on, that's my car!"

Like doesn't it go off when you either take the key out or walk away from the car (if it's keyless) I've done this loads of times, mostly in the wintertime at -40. Go out and start the car to let it warm up, accidentally lock it and walk away. Then come back to leave work, and realize that my keys are locked in it.

No, just push the lock button on the door. Thankfully, my new car is quite a bit smarter than cars back in the old days, which is good for me :)... now if my car is running, the door will not lock, just to prevent these types of incidents. I have auto-start on my car as well now, so I can start it with the push of a button, within about a half-mile or so, so safely inside where it's nice and warm.

I genuinely don't know how you can do it. It may well have been deliberate; you only need the key to be in range to both open and start the car. So it could be in your front room as you drive away. You then arrive at AG, realise that you don't have the key, and your options are either turn around and drive home for it or to leave the engine running and the doors unlocked.

It was a Christmas fixture at Trumpton and the ref had been particularly bad from a Rovers viewpoint.

Also read out Gary Flitcroft as 'Gary Flip Flop' Always thought he was a clown but the blue few lapped it up - says it all really Have a feeling he had a dramatic fall from grace a while after, if memory serves me right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then she got a Triumph 2500. It had a black roof and a white chassis and went like stink... Mother always liked big cars. Now she drives a Fabia!
