Title: Have you tried this?
Post by: jonnycool on 22 October 2009, 12:41:59

I was taking my little 'un to school today, had to cross a busy road in the rain then realised I hadn't locked my car. Tried the remote locking but I was too far away. Then I remembered Jeremy Clarkson holding the remote to his head to amplify the signal on an episode of Top Gear. It worked, right from the other side of the road! Anybody else got a head as empty as mine?   ;D

That's not a sign of an empty head Johnny, the remote battery will have got a boost from all the electrical activity going on in the old noggin mate ;) ;D :y
