Opening boot from inside car - button missing

[enuff_zed]

This reminds me of the mythical magical button that women are supposed to have. I’ve never found it.

Perhaps you should try a left hand drive woman

Hell no! Don't want her rear end to pop up at high speed!

So, should we have the button or not?

What's the point as we'd have to get out of the car, walk round it and open the passenger door before we could press it as it would be on the wrong side

 

[Scubaregs]

Even as a short arse I could reach it i'm sure.

Not if you had a very fat lady in the passenger seat

Yes I'm obeseitist, and I have never dated an overly rotund female, so not a problem.

However, should I find myself in such a (cramped) position, I would simply ask her to push the button as that would be far more logical.

I can see the reason for the button in the E85 as otherwise you have to use the key fob or get out and actually insert the key to open it, but on my E89 it is simple enough to push the central locking button, as you then open the boot using the roundel.
I had assumed the G29 was the same as the E89, meaning the need to get the boot lid to pop up is not really that important. Or do I have that wrong?

As my dear auld granny would say, “Aye, the ones that button up the back of yer heid”

I was too poilte to say when we met Andy, but one of yours was undone.

Firstly, politeness is not something you’re blessed with

Secondly, if it was only the one undone I was having a good day

It's not the most important thing but it can be useful in certain instances. I used to take my son to college and always popped the boot lid up from inside when he approached. My last car was a 6 GT and was fitted with every conceivable option, many of which I didn't have a clue how to operate and having had this facility it's a shame to lose it even though there are other options that I miss more

Here you, you trying to make me look bad with that misquote

We must’ve done, tbh most of my granny’s couldn’t be posted on here but I think one of the most publicly embarrassing ones were at a packed bus stop in Partick and she turns quite casually to me and announces in front of everyone “Andy boy, it’s fucking freezing, it must be freezing the baws aff ye”
