Indeed, vehicles with automatic transmissions are very dangerous, I
know someone who wrote off *four* brand new cars whilst doing a dealer
PDI check on a new Volvo whilst it was "ticking over in Park" (well he
actually had to rev it up to check the CO readings), on investigation
(by the insurance Co and Volvo UK) it was found that a manufacturing
fault had caused the box to select drive rather than 'Park' even
though the lever *was* in Park.


To write off one car like that - bad luck. Two - well, you'd think he'd
take more care. But FOUR? I'm pretty sure by that stage part of *my*
PDI would be to check for the known fault in the gearbox...

Its patently obvious that ":Jerry:" is a man with one brain cell who is
used to waving it around in a company of those who have none at all.
