I have just watched Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson claims that you can increase the range of your plip by holding it to your head. It must be a TV trick I thought so out I went to try it.

Well it does work, much to the amusement of my neighbours.

My mates just tried it with his Rover and it does work!!

Jeremy Clarkson could be resonsible for a sudden increase in the number of fried brains!!

Yep!
It does indeed significantly extend the otherwise feeble range of the peugeot remote.
Just because you're paranoid, it don't mean they're not after you.

it wasnt 6 hours. I did in fact e-mail Top Gear with that at 21:30 on Sunday night so I wonder if Clarkson will mention it, after all he did want peoples explanations of why it worked :scratch:

V useful if your remote battery goes flat. Also works if you stick your finger on your nose - ON not up!
