Rubbish. My wifes Morris Minor is always left in gear when parked (the
handbrake is awful). It's just a matter of programming your head to
always do it.

I quite liked it.[/QUOTE]

liked what? I don't understand...

 

Saab's ignitions are in the centre console under the handbrake. I used
to sleep in the back of my old 900 Turbo when camping[1], & being able
to turn the engine on without getting out of bed was very useful on
winter trailriding trips.

[1] Possibly the best car in the world for sleeping in.

Bad form, but I've just realised they're talking about gears not
handbrakes. I'd guess it has to be in gear to get the key out, but I
know not as mine was an auto.

I'm afraid I'm still being dim - the OP seemed to imply that something
about the Saab's design didn't allow the car to be parked if it were
not in gear.

 

OK, now Sweller's comment makes sense. Odd behaviour, though, IYAM.

[snip]

I like the Mazda's key - it's built into the central locking remote,
but folds away and is spring loaded i.e. you press a button and the
key snaps into position like a flick-knife.

 

VWs have that, as did the Fiat Punto I had for a couple of days in
September.

 

My 96s (V4) locked the column change, the old shape 900s locked the
gearbox into reverse (before you could remove the key) and they didn't
have a steering lock. Early 9000s have their ignitions on the steering
column in the conventional manner.

My '85 900 is so worn you can get the key out in any position.

 

That's what they want you to think...

Good god, it's him!

Hmm... Champ's car is nicked and within days Simes shows up. Fucking
suspicious is that, if you ask me.

Oh, good point. *Good point*.

Have a good old sniff when you get it back. If there's any trace of wee
at all, I'll chip in for the cost of DNA tests.

Being fair - do you honestly think anyone who reads this group would
buy, steal or even ride in a car that is so thrashed to death (by
Champ) that Champ is outing it?

Nobody sane, no.

Fans can behave very strangely.

If you mean the Men's Health link, that wasn't what I was thinking of.
I'm sure the Hovering Butterfly is a rather complex position in the
Kama Sutra.

You may be right - just got a P38 Range Rover to ensure that I go broke
