My old MINI has the best idea - you clip the key in a holder on the dash.

By 'old' do you mean to your / BMW Mini as my mate has one of those
where you push the key into a hole in the dash?

Yes - I don't know what new MINIs do. But I should have said "BMW" not
Austen/Morris

I think it was because I have been longer on this planet with the
traditional Mini than I have the BMW offereing that I wouldn't refer
to any BMW Mini as 'old'.

I was trying to work out if the old Mini had, or could have been
retro-fitted with some clever key thingy but the only thing I could
think of was a secret switch that killed the electric fuel pump. ;-)

Our current car is a 14 year old Meriva and that still feels / seems
new compared to anything else we have had. ;-)
