Mk3 AShtrays
« on: 29 December 2003, 19:17 »
My question is, how do you empty them? Mine are filled with the sorta butts I'm not too keen on my parents discovering when they're in the car if you know what I mean.

What r u for real? how do u empty an ashtray? U muppet, if your really that thick try the vacuums at the service station I'm sure they'll hoover up the roaches, and they reckon smoking drugs dont damage your brain!

Yo Bodhi, how come you know about engines and weight distribution, but can't empty an ashtray?
Yet another 'expert' on here me thinks!

Oh pardonnez-moi for missing a button hidden underneath the ashtray whilst it was open. My previous cars had a lift out tray, none of this secret button malarky. But seeing as you clearly know all about everything, fancy telling me how you empty the one at the back of the transmission tunnel behind the handbrake? I see no hidden button, is this ashtray the GTI owners masonic handshake?

VR6, I'm not entirely sure if the tone of your post is consistent with your staus as a moderator, but I'll answer your question. It's quite simple really. Car time for me doesn't include the boring stuff, like washing it (that's what car washes are for), working on it, or figuring out how the interior fixtures work - I drive. I point the nose of the car down the nearest country road and have some fun. Hence whenever there's something about the car I don't understand, I come to the people who do spend time doing the other stuff - you guys. Sorry if I misunderstood the point of this forum.
