lunalupi Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I talk to mine loads - tell him everything! I pat the steering wheel when he is doing well, and yes, I also look back after parking him, and give him a pat on the A pillar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max69vk Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I press the 'lock' button on the remote fob about 20 times when I leave the car, and I have to keep checking it's still locked. I also check the front door when I leave home a few times too though, so I think it's just an OCD thing That sounds so familiar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ha! I pat the binnacle too!... must be an old man thing! I also check the central locking about 20 times. I just can't understand these people who can walk away, click the button and not check the door is locked!I don't feel sorry for 'driving' the GTi as it seems to enjoy it. The Arosa? Don't really drive it hard!Oh! and I take too many photo's.R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lingloopy Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I just can't understand these people who can walk awayI can. There's nothing in the car, so no point breaking in & it's too cold and wet in Wales most of the time to be hanging around making sure it's locked!

Max69vk Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Not quite a ritual but..... I've got a small pocket sized bible in my car. I've no idea where it came from but I had a phase about 10 years ago where my work van became a magnet for people driving into it & doing me some serious harm. One day after cleaning it out this bible just appeared on my seat (Im sure it was a lad a work having a laugh), however I've never had an accident since & I've kept it in every car I've owned since then!

lunalupi Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 it is bad luck. You will get aids and die.Does anyone else always wiggle the gearstick before starting the engine?!Me! Even though I always put it in neutral when I park (unless on a hill) and no-one else drives the car, I still have to check its not put itself in gear or something!
