Post #210,237 by pwhysall 6/7/05 12:19:46 PM Reply	Indeed. Mr EMU starts up, says to Mr Immobiliser "Sir, have we a proper key?" Mr Immobiliser says, "Why, yes, we do." Mr EMU says, "That's a good thing. I can't start this here engine without that, you know." And Mr EMU then proceeds to deign to allow the electronic ignition to start.
