How to install Sat Nav to a safe location
This little gadget seems too obvious for me to post it online and technically it isn't a 'how to' guide. However, I'm sure there are drivers on this forum who may just have overlooked this idea so I'm posting it in case it helps someone.

How To: Boot Door Panel
Hey All

To lighten up your evening
Car Keys- PRICELESS!!
They weren't in my pockets. Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot.
