[tdi90]

Hiya

As per title, is the front ashtray in a 2003 ZT supposed to be illuminated?

[T-Cut]

Nope. Not even as an optional extra.
You could wire in a small LED I guess.

You smoke in the car?? :O

Why should you automatically think that someone smokes in their car? ('their' being the operative word), when really I would consider it needing being lit because you want to retrieve something that one has put in there, and I'm not talking about a dog-end either!
I'm a 'non-smoker' but that doesn't stop me respecting other peoples wishes to do with, or in 'their' property that they wish to!
Not only that I HATE the anti-smoking lobby!!! (and almost as much as 'self-righteous' doctors)!

i smoke in mine and no it does not smell as it gets a full clean every week.but the absence of a light in the ashtray is annoying i was thinking of using one of those map reading light things.

Think it was tongue in cheek Bill ;)

With 'anti-smokers' it's never tongue-in-cheek....... Have you been in a pub recently? I hate it as I'm usually the one left at the bar looking after the drinks while they, (my mates) have to go outside!

Hi. I also do not smoke, but have an "suicide drawer" in my Rover 75 cdt. I do not mind anyone smoking in their car if they want.But what a stink when you are a non smoker, when you get in a vehicle that is smoked in.. Smokin!!! Yes. I used to smoke, 80 a day about 40 years ago, and then i watched a programme on the "box", that showed you a lung from a person who smoked, and one from a person who did not. I packed it up the next day.Am i "anti smoking"? No, certainly not. Let them carry on smoking and paying the tax on them, that should keep my tax's down on my hobbie.

Well luckily I gave up smoking years ago when the kids were born, which is just as well, as it is now illegal for me to smoke in my own car as I drive more miles on business than privately. Crazy or what?

If I did still smoke I'd be fuming! :mad:

if you are so pro-smoking why dont you take it up then??

I'm not so much 'Pro-Smoking' as Pro Freedom of Choice! I stopped being a child a long time ago, but it seems a great many haven't and feel the need to be told what to do. - If it's that bad why don't they outlaw it, oh no, they can't do that it'll be too much tax revenue lost...... Hypocrites!

And hey Dan, what would you prefer to do, sit in a room with 5 people smoking or in a room with a V8 idling? I suppose a V8 idling....... Carry on......lol...lol...

[Canonite]

....oh for christ sake!

[danmayberry]

I have never smoked,but in my experience most of the smokers I knew were/are selfish and smoked in confined places,and didn't give a stuff whether non smokers were there,best thing ever banning it in public places,only thing they need now is fag litter penalties

[kissifer1972]

Think this thread may have gone a little off topic........ :getmecoat:

[tdi90]

wow! seemed to have stirred up a hornets nest here lol

Yes I smoke in the car, my car my choice. Stopped going to pubs and clubs unless its for a reason (party etc) because of the smoking ban.
Pee'd off about lack of freedom? not really, why should people who dont smoke have to inhale mine?


Anyway, the ashtray needs a light and it'll get one when I get round to it :D
