Just spotted the ideal phone for a Cygnet owner - the phone specs are mind blowing.....

I saw my first cygnet yesterday - sure enough, driver was a woman clearly in her fifties despite hair peroxide, trout lips and weird eyes in apparent attempt to hide it... S'funny when stereotypes turn out to be accurate.

Money can buy you everything. Except taste.

Was talking to a guy who's an ecu canbus expert a few months ago. We send iQs to AM with a bunch of stuff missing to help them with rebuild into a cygnet. Part of that is it turns up without doors on or something like that. Some muppet managed to lock the doors and then fit them on with the keys inside the car. The assembly line at that point is essentially a one hour then push into the next station affair. He gets a phone call saying "can you find a way to open the door in an hour otherwise we're putting a crowbar through the window because we can't hold up the DB9 behind it"

Less than an hour later he emailed them a program they could load into the engine ecu and pop all the locks on the car!

You lot are bloody useless.

If you were Eastern European & it were a BMW, they'd have been in in seven minutes.
