Post by ~Sam~ » Sat May 10, 2008 10:17 pm

Step 1: Drive 140 miles with car on trailer
Step 2: Arrive and state you have left the keys at home
Step 3: Note how steering lock is on
Step 4: Attempt the move the trailer so you can move the car straight back
Step 5: Realise metal post in way
Step 6: Try and bump the car over, denting rear arch and door in process
Step 7: Try all other available keys to try get steering lock off
Step 8: Take drastic action
