WRX IOM Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Went to jet wash me Scooby at the weekend and guess what i done!!!! Doh!! I left the key in the ignition, after id finished washing. Went to get back in and hey presto!!! I was locked out!!! What a right Clucker i felt!!! Just as well i had a slightly sketchy past though!!! (not really) Those coat hangers are just to dam easy for opening Scooby's. Windows with no door frame (Very bad idea) Just aswell i have an alarm fitted now. Just took me a few minutes to slide it in and hook over the door lock......I'm no pro so imagine how many seconds it would take for a real car thief!!! Though i should really have a spare key!!! That would have been the best solution!! Got a hold of my other alarm control and it wouldnt open the friggin doors... Clifford should have just provided a coat hanger!! Needless to say the garage was a little missed that i used there Jetwash as a parking space for a while!!
dooahhdoo Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Oh dear Just goes to show how easy they are to get into though
WRX IOM Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 My thoughts exactly!!! Just glad i stay on this Island with the security that there isnt that many car thiefs around at the moment!! Feeling very insecure about how easy i managed to get into it without the key!!! Rang the police, but they were not the best of help. They said to ring some Manx Auto something??? Prob would have cost me a months wage for a call out on a Sunday. I remember the days when the local plod used to go out there way to try and help us hard working citizens!!! Not any more though hey!!! To busy sitting in the office all day keeping warm. No offence intended by the way!! Just a little annoyed that day!!
andy_bray Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Which garage M8???, So I do not go there ,, They may think that all Subaru drivers are daft as a brush.....
WRX IOM Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 Hey ya cheeky bugger.... Id avoid the one at Shoprite (Douglas) for a while though.....sure i seen a wheel clamper hanging around you know!!! Probably wainting for the next half a sleep Scooby owner!! lol
Dave K Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 At least you didn?t do it on the boat, I remember a certain person with a yellow Type R locking him self out. Not mentioning any names........JON
