Funny you should say that, but I did compose an answer featuring Toblerone (king size)*. Rogerborg? Guess you'd have to deep-fry it first Razz

*couldn't see how else it would become an emergency situation Confused

Btw, points 233 and 234...

Did you turn straight to those particular questions, or are you just a quick reader?


Just curious Smile

I find lifting your arm in the air and waving it around has similar results

These low-tech Mercs Wink. I just walk up to my car and open it, so I like a nice low range key, currently got a 1.5m range fob... It's was amusing when someone else tried to get in after I've seemingly just closed the door and walked away. After a few goes on the handle it went into pre-alarm mode, he gave up and found me just staring at him. Proper soiled his pants. Laughing

Oh and no batteries to change.. just shove the fob into the charging port when driving, nice place to store the fob as well.

Yeah but can you wave your foot under the rear bumper and have the tailgate open? Cool

Your point being? Thinking

So an early 90's Mercedes-Benz is crap, because your whatever car made yesterday has keyless entry and ignition switch. So much woof, m8! Razz

What car do you drive?

Currently sat sailing through Portsmouth Harbour.

Gone on a whim, or a planned trip?

'Planned' last night, so very much a whim I'd say! I was preceding the idea of another trip to the 'Ring but the forecast isn't too bright that way.
I'll probably have a look at the Normandy beaches and a ride to Le Mans...

Unsettled is probably the best way to describe it...
It's meant to get worse here (now entering Cherbourg) after Tuesday day. I'm heading back then.
I reckon I'll be Ring-bound again in August, weather, time off, finances and rear tyre permitting.

Is that the stuff that says 95 on the handle? Can you put that into hybrid cars? I've often wondered.

Truly, I am that ignorant, and require a straight answer Rolling Eyes Laughing

Super unleaded has 97 or higher on the handle.

You could but it'll almost certainly be pointless, generally it's only high performance engines which take advantage of its properties. If fact on a low performance engine you may see a reduction in fuel economy.
