I love it when my alarm sporadically goes off in the middle of a car wash!! ::) ;D

Car wash? Oh noooo....bucket and soft sponge and chamois. :o

No no.......don't worry, it's a hand car wash and valet service that I use sometimes. Full hand car wash, leather and wax, interior windows cleaned, interior vacuumed, upholstery cleaned, dashboard cleaned, tyre walls and exterior trim blacked - all for just under 20 quid. :y 8-)

I love the way my Omega playfully tries to amputate my leg when I open the door to get out  ;D It must have the strongest door check strap ever!!!

Cheers Jim

Just leave work half an hour or 45 mins early and tell the boss you are going home to wash your car. He, of course will be outraged and dock your pay. But if you stay, the money you earn will be spent on a car wash. So, go home, do it yourself and you will end up quits but home a bit earlier :y

I love the way my (older Carin) sat-nav will always only give you the option of STAND BY when you particularly want to get somewhere!!
PS which fuse feeds it? It might respond to the power supply being pulled  >:(

Had Vx's for 10 years ish. All have had the flashing light on the fuel guage when on vapour. The newer ones I had as hire cars also remembered the speed previously used on cruise controll, get into third and hit the button wooooooooooosssssssssshhhhhhhh :).

I have a 2001 facelift and dont have to remove the key from the ignition to open the boot, just hold button down for a few seconds. The fading interior light is also good. Apart from all the above mine is normal (no cruise yet though).

When you got your firt Vx how long did it take you to work out how to turn on the interior light?

A girl at work had had her Monza for years and was amazed when I turned the courtesy light on. "How did you do that?" she said!  :o

The fact that you can turn on the interior light by pulling the headlamp switch, electric windows remain on after switching the ignition off (if you do not open the door), low drag coefficient, etc etc

One other thing is that the clock updates itself by RDS.  Now why don't mobiles do that over here, they do in the states  :-?
