Dick, Bill, Dan and A N other
After a very scientific study of door opening and completely forgetting
that i should be looking at my dash at 6.00am this morning on my way
to work, then shutting the door and waiting for the dash to go back to
sleep and opening the door again (if any neighbours were watching their
observations probably only confirmed their long held views on the state
of my sanity) i noted that as dick has since predicted that the "volt"
idiot light flashes on.
The sequence is door opens, "volt" light flicks on and then off before the
dash illuminates. Very strange, answers on a E-postcard to:-

For those that don't get to the website it was a joke :-)
