Default Just locked the keys in the car.

Wouldn't you know it, a few days after I get the rear hatched fixed up again where you couldn't open it just by pulling it up, my room mate locks both sets of keys in my car. (main and spare.)

I ended up useing the pantented "push the plate up through the floor" technique that porsche specificly designed for this car. Trust me, no burgler is even going to thing too lok at the place, and if he does, he's deffently not going to try it, not in public anyways.

But it worked, and worked well, and made me look really smart.

So Thanks I say.

"Good news, I can't wait to lock my keys in the car to try it. " quote

"Here, let me help.....whoops!"



Quick question for you computer talented gurus: How do you transfer a quote/text to a new post achieving a lined area containing bold type??
My feeble effort above is the "cut and paste" 'right click' trick - distinctly minimialist

Hello Garth,

You scroll down to the bottom of the reply page. Highlight the text you want to quote, then right click it. Then go up to the vB code box and click the "quote" button, and right click and paste.

"Here, let me help.....whoops!"
Or just manually type [QUOTE**] in the front and [/QUOTE**] on the end of the text (but without the **).

Best regards,
Mike

Garth, Try going to the bottom right corner of the post you want to quote, and clicking on the reply with quote link. It looks some what like this: " "
It is right next to the edit post link.

There is a metal plate bonded unibody under the car behind the drivers seat. In the rear passangers foot area.

You have to push the metal plate up till it breaks the bonding rubber glue type stuff. You also need a jack to get to it.

Then you have to reach up behind the seat with a long, skinny arm, and turn the *** on the wheel. You will need someone with an arm that is at least 3 feet long, plus a bit, and have no point on his arm with a diamiter greater than 3 or 4 inches. I just qualify.

Anyways, you turn the ****, and the door gets unclocked!

"I spent 90% of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted."

Hi Texas,

You should mention this quote came from Tom Jones

Hey VB, glad you made it into your car: With an arm like that, you must be nearly 5 foot eighteen (too). Didn't intend to 'hijack' on your space, but thanks to Watercooler and Shane for furthering my education: if done as directed, the above quote xfer will be evident.

I believe this quote can be ascribed to many generations of Scots/Irish/Welsh. etc . . .

Correctly quoted " . . . and I squandered the rest."

FWIW

Ever think about maybe buying a few less 928 parts and using that money for something else, like food?

Anytime you want to have an eating contest, I game. Except after the last contest, or I'm sick or something. The rules? You eat all you can, but if you throw up with in 24 hours, your disqualifyed. Please, TRY to beat me! You won't be able too.

Something about a high metablism, or something.
