After I locked my car keys in my car at Snetterton, & wished I could have taken the bloody roof off to get in
Big thanks to Tony (Fingers) Pearman, & Lord Cole of Hethel over Caterham, for an exemplarily display of how car thieves operate, in sorting the job out
how pray tell did you manage to lock your keys inside your car???
Easy - unlock car, open door, re-lock with key still in the lock, remove key & stick key it in ignition to unlock steering lock to move a front wheel (original intention of exercise, as I wanted to access wheel arch), leave key in ignition, then shut the door.
In order words, I was a complete tw@t, & it served me right for not thinking things through cos I was in a rush!
Have done that several times at home, luckily the spare keys were always to hand.
Added bonus of the S2, I’ve never used the key lock on the door, always use the central locking on the alarm fob
Must be like living in the dark ages with an S1

Yep, & it’s great
Couldn’t wait to get home last night & have me teeth (all 3 of them) shaken out, whilst driving on the cobbles Oop North, & me carbide lamps were getting pretty dim too
i’ve never used the key to lock the door either
Its also easier to tell if its locked or unlocked in an s2 due to the little stalks that pop up like on a “normal car”. My previous lotus used to bug me because in order to avoid what pesky did you find yourself squinting at the lock barrel to see if its horizontal or vertical. I know it will go against the purists but central locking is a bonus IMHO.
Ahh, the difficulties of the web footed S1 owner
I did see your car at Brands a few weeks back however. Must admit i do love the colour. Nice work. Liked the seats as well
