Digger009 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hahaha, obviously no-one has done this, hence the immediate repsonses all the same. I think its a learning curve that most people have managed with autos tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoboblio Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I did this on the first day of owning mine, stopped a few hundred yards down the road from the garage I bought it from and had to go back to complain that they'd sold me a duff car because the keys wouldn't come out of the ignition..... oh dear.

Snooze Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yep - this one caught me out with the Aristo once too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Just as bad, I once jumped in the car, turned the key and it wouldn't start - just dead. Panicked, called out the AA, he turned up, asked if its was an auto - yes - was it in gear - yes - take it out of gear says he - I do - now turn the key says he - I do, car starts!! He drives off staining himself with laughter, I sit with head in hands for a good hour!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 This whole situation is even worse when you have Blackjax. Imagine trying to deal with this in a crowded Shell garage just off the M1 at Wakefield with the alarm going and lights flashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
