Dunno, maybe it is your little private Vauxhall collection.

I am a bit OCD and "archive" any keys for old cars, or cars that I am currently not using in a box out of the way.

You don't want to identify them too obviously - that would make it too easy for would-be thieves.

I defiantly need to get these organised somehow.

I have accidentally tried to open cars with the wrong key before.
Not something that goes down well with 20 odd year old lock mechanisms.

I upset my V6 by trying to open it with the Pedro's keys!
Nice collection of keys :)
We should get some club keyrings done.

I know where they would come in very handy! A car key party, you can nail 5 different chicks that way lol.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Do they still do that...?
Keys in a basket thing.

"Don't fancy yours much... need to put a lead on it"!!
Ha ha.

I recall that being a Club 18-30 thing in the late eighties and early nineties.

You could have nailed a few "Hounds of the Baskerville's" back then.

No imagination.. I have the mental scars still.

I once went on a Club 18-30 with my second girlfriend.

I didn't have to do any key swapping - thankfully!!

There were a few interesting looking "reported to be females" that could have given a nasty bite.

You were meant to be so steamed out of your head that everything looked attractive -

The joys of a Club 18-30 holiday in a run down one star shack of a hotel in Lloret de Mar....

Stop me before the nightmares come back to haunt me...

Please return to James' topic...

"Yes a nice collection of keys you have their dear chap....."

I think James is actually planning to either go to or host a car key party. I'm in!

Hmm - not so fond memories of steamed hake or omelette for 14 consecutive days...

Electric shocks from the light switches.

And enough cheap beer to make anything look acceptable to go with... shame for the poor lads who looked dumb struck when they realised what they woke up with...

Are you sure it was a club 18-30 holiday and not a Siberian young offenders institute?

They ain't too bad, all you do there is sit around all day and drink vodka. If you're really bad, they beat you with night sticks a little and take your vodka away for the night..
