The VATS (Vehicle Anti Theft System) uses a resistor in the base of the key
to complete a circuit. Wrong resistor value - no start. Turn off the
ignition, wait for a minimum of five minutes without turning on ignition and
then see if the VATS reset itself. Common problems - it`s raining and you
get water on the key as you`re unlocking the door. The resistance is wrong
and it sets the VATS. After years of use, the contacts wear enough that the
contacts on the key are intermittent to the contacts within the lock. It
sets the VATS. It`s a pain in the tookis. A new key costs anywhere from
$22 - $30. I think it may have something to do with whether the guy making
the key thinks you need it REALLY bad and REALLY soon.

Title: Race the Runway event success
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 08:53:16 +0000
Author: Apollo
 Although it was a closed event and not open to public access, the BBC reports that the Race the Runway event we highlighted recently was a success, with 48 participants each paying £250 for the opportunity to race their supercars along the secondary runway at Edinburgh Airport, with invited guests bringing in a further £50 a head. Cars such as Lamborghinis, Porsches, Ferraris, Aston Martins and others were brought to the event, during which the airport continued to operate as normal.
Proceeds from the day will go to St Columba’s Hospice in Edinburgh and the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow.
Together with the runway activity, the day also provided an opportunity for the drivers to undertake a fire simulation exercise, and visit air traffic control.
It will certainly have made a change from the usual sort of track day that takes place on normal race tracks such as Knockhill, as I’m led to believe (since modern, active, commercial airport runways are one place I haven’t managed to get onto) that by comparison with such tracks, runways can be much smoother. One thing is certain, as anyone who’s been round Knockhill will vouch for, they’re certainly flatter!
