    ERm, If i break down on the motorway with a flat tyre - how exactly do I change it without the key to the wheel nuts ?

    I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

      I used to leave mine in the ash tray.

      Having a few cars all with crook-locks it's easy to get them mixed up.

      But don't have the problem any more.

        Oh that one, I kept that in whatever passed for a tool kit. Held with elastic round the biggest lump of metal in there.

        What's all this red crumbly stuff in here?

        That'll be the elastic that held the wheel lock key.

        What key?

          Oh that wheel lock. I thought you meant a steering wheel lock bar thingy. Happy motoring!
