NO.

jdugene, Gee0, Gareth & JOSLER have all asked and don't have an e-mail button in their profile. Don't forget that you're a mod and have powers way above those of us mere mortals! :smt044

What about the email button at the bottom of their posts? I can see it, but I guess that's got nothing to do with being a mod

Maybe one of the lesser mortals can confirm?

Edit - Just tried as a guest and can't see them.... might be that I do have super human powers after all :-D

I can see e-mail buttons at the bottom of some postsings.
They would be hidden from a guest though. Having them available to guests is just inviting spamming though.

Yes but the "Always show my e-mail address:" flag in your profile is not set, so us mere mortals cannot see it whereas the mods/admin can. I'm sure Ailwyn will forward it to you.

by **ailwyn** » Mon 28.01.2008, 16:33

No probs, you'll need to send it to me though, deleted it after I figured out it wouldn't work on my car

I'd like a copy please too. I have an e-mail address in my profile. Is anything else needed?

Many thanks

Never locked the keys in the boot, but the wife did lock the keys and both kids (strapped in their car-seats) in a Vectra we once had ;-)

Must be missing something here.

Spare key cut.. £2. Hide it somewhere in the car..

Cant be that tight. :roll:

by **Russc** » Thu 31.01.2008, 16:09

Ok Johnny fair enough,

But what are you going to do when the car is locked and you have trapped all your keys in the boot????

This is what i did and i know a few other have done as well.

Cant see it happening.

If i open my boot with the car locked, the alarm will sound..

so.. to get in the boot i have to un-lock the car.. so... if by chance i lock my

keys in the boot... the car will be un-locked.

Where there will be a spare key.

Feel silly, you should keep one at home. I bet you do now. I got 2 spare sets of keys cut wiithin days of buying EE, and I don't take them all out at the same time.

I found that my battery had run almost dead flat the other day. Not even enough power to open it with the remote alarm, and my door keyholes had been plated over by a previous owner.
Luckily my car is stored in the garage, unlocked with its roof down. I found it amusing.

Jack.

apologies!

But Jack, you need to be careful keeping your roof folded down for long periods especially if its cold. You may get a horrible crease developing in the plastic rear screen unless you place a folded towel or cardboard tube in there to help it keep its shape. :wink:

Back on topic..... I keep a spare key for the boot hidden in the cabin, but like Jonny, I cant open my boot unless my alarm is set off - which means the doors are open anyway.

Cheers ailwyn thanks for my e.mail hopefully i wont need it but knowing me its a possibility .Its worth me locking my keys for the last step !! (BEER) :lol:
