I thought I was the only person stupid enough to try this to see what happened!

I did think they would have something to disengage the switch when the engine is running.

Big red buttons are far too tempting when you are sitting in a traffic jam

I have a habit of resting my hand on the centre console and find that I am forever switching the rear window and mirror heaters on! Ce la vie! Think I'll put a small cage oner the button - yet another S2k mod!!

Could do the same for the BIG RED BUTTON also!

Thet'd stop you playing with it!

All this pressing the starter button whilst the engine is running sounds painful. I guess it sounds the same as if you turn a turn a key whilst the engine is running in a stardard car - ouch!!

Exactly - and would you do that deliberately "to see what happens" ?!!
