    The lady of the house has just emptied the washing machine. As she took out my fleece there was a familiar clink as a very wet 'Ocean Race' keyring hit the lino. Along with the ignition key and remote for the V70.

    OH! SH*T!

    Despite a full wash at 60C and 1100 spin cycle it still works the alarm and starts the car.

    Phew. That was a close one.
