Yes, they are called wives, girlfriends etc.

I can just imagine the response they would have to ringing a doorbell because you couldn't be arsed to fish a key out of your pocket!
They might be wearing boxing gloves as they open the door!


PS. Dinosaurs had tiddly arms so would benefit keyless...


PPS. I finally found something that would benefit keyless and an electric handbrake today.
I ran an errand in a Peugeot Partner van earlier. Nasty cheap key that goes in an awkwardly positioned lock and the handbrake is tucked down beside a huge armrest console box thingy.
Nasty van full stop really.

Right, I'm off back to my glass case at the museum...

I've been dragged out of bed countless times in the wee hours of the morning to open the front/back door for a man, who, even if he lucked out and managed to fish the keys out of his pocket, is utterly incapable of lining them up to the keyhole, due to extreme intoxication.  So it would be payback time.  :laugh:

Now, get back in the display case, I'll lock it behind you.  :kiss:

No I'm a softie, I let him have the spare room.  Even with the door firmly closed,  the sound of (his) beery snoring reverberates throughout the house!!

I love my keyless.To lock it i find that rather than just put my thumb over the slot,like when you unlock it.I have to put my nail into it. :huh:
That along with the electronic handbrake are 2 of my favourite useful gadgets. :smiley:

That doesn't sound right mate. To lock mine I just waft my hand in front of the sensor, same as unlocking. Though the 2 seconds you're supposed to have to check that the door is locked (as per manual - user, not gearbox!) doesn't seem to exist.

Same here. No digging nail into the slot, just glide hand past the sensor and that's it.

I LOVE keyless, and agree, keyless and e-handbrake, especially Autohold function and brilliant features.

Course there's some dinosaur's on here that will find any excuse to pooh-pooh it.  :whistle:  :grin:

The only fault i've found so far.Waxed the hell out of it.Rained.Reversed out of drive with drivers window open (to clear the outside rain droplets).Quick 90 degree forward right turn and whoosh!.All the nicely wax collected rain droplets on the roof poured into the car,over the door controls and my arm.Won't do that again. :angry:

Yeah, you only ever do that once. :laugh:  Still remember the soaking I got on that one time.

You only have to watch the deluge of water from the waxed roof cascading down your windscreen as you pull forward to know that having a window open can only end in a soaking.  :wink:
