Dick Smith Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'd have to find the d****ed things first!I think they are hiding out with my glasses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Me too - but I don't wear glasses and so I can never find them. [:D]P.S. Get someone you know to make a bright coloured ScoobyDo and attach it to the key fob. They are easier to spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I didn't realise April 1st had come round so soon [:)]But I suppose it provides one logical reason why Renault supply those silly cards rather than proper keys. And I'd like to see them try to clone our font door key, which is one of those flat ones with holes drilled part-way through rather than a serrated edge.

Dick Smith Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 So that would be the stealth version, or the pocket example?That must be a metre long and weigh what? 20 kilos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex H Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I don't know the weight, but the front lens (Celestron’s C5 Spotting Scope is a 5" (127mm) aperture, 1250mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system) retails at about £400 - you'd have to nick a lot of keys to make it worthwhile [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
