It was bound to happen sooner or later. With any piece of machinary as complicated as a moden vehicle there is bound to be something that will go wrong. Well, this morning it happened.
Arriving at the garage at 05:30 and intending to drive to Porto airport, I click the button to open the car. I open the door to the bagage compartment and toss in my suitcase and then go to open the driver's door and hop in only the driver's dor does not open. I try unlocking the door in the old way by inserting the key in the lock and turning it. As before, the door pin popped up but the door remained firmly locked.From the back seat, I put the key in the ignition and opened the window to try opening the door using the inside handle but, again, nothing happens. Try as I may, the door refuses to unlock.
I cannot get in on the other side as the car is just an inch or two from the garage wall and climbing over from the back is not on for a person of my dimensions. All that remains to do is to get my bag out of the car, lock it (no joke) and walk home having missed the flight. As I wrote, it was bound to happen sooner or later but why at such an inopertune moment?
Come Monday, I will be giving the local Opel dealer a bit if flack.
