I needed that, thank you.
just went out to empty the car, and put my grandson's kiddy seat in.
I'm collecting the family from the airport this weekend and need boot-space and to check water bottles etc.
Setting off to a friends en route today.
My older son used the car last night but thoughtfully brought it home to me left it in the drive, then cycled off into the sunset.
Unfortunately he forgot to leave the key...... he's now either at work or a friends house and I'm stressing about not getting on the road on time.
Rant over.  |

"oh ive only got one key to my car.. was quoted £130 to get a second one cut.."
Same with me, only one key.....ex son-in-law lost the last one (think he binned it out of spite for me punching his lights out)
Dread to think what BMW Mini would want for a new one too. |

"yeah they can get in your car without breaking the window,,and prob give you a spare key,,for a prce"
the AA managed to get into my old car without any damage to the windows but only because i didnt have electric windows. The guy told me he would have had to smash the glass to gain entry to a car with electric windows |

Has he not popped the key through your letter box? Somebody put a key for a hire car through my door. It was between the inner and out flaps of the letter box |

trouble is it's not even an actual key, it's a little discus shaped thing you slot into the dash and you push a button to start the car, it stores all the car info on it. |

I've checked all over the house and his room. He hasn't left it in the usual place we normally leave it either. |

My car has an 'intelligent' key, so you can start the car without actually putting the key into the ignition. It's that bloody intelligent, that it decided the lock the car with my handbag in it, when I closed my door and nipped quickly back into the house! (Spare key was with ex in Surrey.)
AA came out and put a little airbag thingy between the door and the car, which eased the door out slightly to get a bit of parcel tag stuff down to unlatch the door handle. He didn't believe me when I said it had locked itself, until I showed him how to start the car without the key in it.
Quote for spare key - £150. |

I could do with a soothing word or two from Granny.

She'd tell me to go kick my own arse and then find my son and kick his after getting my key back. |
