In news:UxqYjPJ7pb+ snipped-for-privacy@askv41.dial.pipex.com, M Rimmer tweaked the Babbage-Engine to tell us:
Mine dunt. It's got the socket, but there was never a lighter in it, just a little plastic plug. Which didn't stop the pikey scumbag who borke into it last year from nicking said plastic plug, also a phobile moan charger (which lived in the ashtray), the remote for the stereo and the first aid kit. Bah!
In news: snipped-for-privacy@news.btinternet.com, Gid tweaked the Babbage-Engine to tell us:
ISTR the Series-1 Citroen CX had its ashtray on top of the dashboard, where it could be positioned anywhere one liked. Unless the one I saw had been molished by an enterprising bod with some self-adhesive Velcro(tm).
Get an RDS radio - they have accurate clocks.
The snag is that things can come back and visit you. Frinstance the ciggy butt, still glowing, can fly back in and land in between your back and the seat.

Hella do molish them, as well as others.

Radio?? I've got three cars sitting outside here at the moment. Two have non-jbexvat radios; one has none at all and never has had. TAAW I won a fourth car, and it does have a radio; however whether it jbexeth or not has yet to be discovered (unless Austin knows (the car's sitting in his yard)) as I've not driven the car yet.

I don't smoke in this car, and that is a Good Thing.
Dave Larrington ( snipped-for-privacy@privacy.net) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :
There were a few different styles in the s1 CX, but the one you're thinking of is the golfball, and was only in 79-81 cars. It was fixed in place, but swivelled.

In news: snipped-for-privacy@zetnet.co.uk, Guy King wittered on forthwith;
Ford, Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen all do "no smoking" packages where the ashtray is replaced by a nicely lined little oddments tray. Nothing as useful as a re-chargeable toothpick though.
On or around Fri, 16 Mar 2007 18:21:08 -0000, Sena enlightened us thusly:
wot, the adapter or the wazzocks?
the adpater is a small bunch of wires, with at one end connectors like the OE peugeot radios have (had) and at the other end connectors to plug into an ISO radio wot are a standard kind of radio plug and many car radios have such now.
plug adapter into radio, plug into car, radio (if yer lucky) jbexf. You can get various sorts of adapters, for connecting one sort of radio to another sort of car.
The message from Sena contains these words:
Go into a car shop with the radio and say "I have a Pug - make this work" and they'll flog you some spaghetti with connectors each end which connect the plugs you have to the radio you have.

I have never seen a lapdog with antennae and wires coming out of its bottom.
Do you often run out of petrol indoors then? :-)
