After 5 months, I've finally swapped the dealer's plastic key ticket with a small rectangular metal plate wittily engraved "World's Best Golfer" (sigh).
Set me wondering what key fobs fellow BR members use.

The one the dealer gave me. Leather with an attached metal plate which bears the dealer's name.
I must confess that without looking at it, I couldn't remember which dealer (we have two cars) it came from.
Big improvement on the plastic fob I got with a previous car - after a few years, the plastic had become brittle and snapped as I was unlocking the boot and cut my finger deeply enough to make a bit of a mess.

A Yamaha one from when I had bikes and one my other half made me...
|
|
Mine was given to me by the doormen in SophistiCats night club in W1. It?s a round metallic disk with the slinky cat logo punched out of the middle. Classy.

Mines a Tesco barcode thingy.

A silver('d) fob of St. Christopher supplied by Parkway garages, Lilliput c.1958 with mini we inherited in 1973 and a small witches stone from our local beach.

Very boring, I'm afraid - it's the RFID key tag to open the lab doors at the uni.

A cast and polished pewter Elise on a chain from the Lotus Cars marketing dept. Now windscreenless as this was flush rivetted on as a separate casting but the rivet failed.
|
On my caar keys, I have a red MG Owners' Club leather fob, a small steel golfball and a Turkish good luck symbol (like a blue and white roundel, symbolising the all-seeing eye, I think). On my house keys I have a minmag torch, a UKplay bottle opener, a 'The Producers' brass fob and one of those 'lost keys' things.
My pockets sag alot...

My pockets tend to get holes in them.
My granddaughters give me key fobs at Christmas. At present on my car keys there is a small green rectangular printed circuit with rather sharp corners. It replaces another gift from the same granddaughter whose chain gave way: a large and beautiful real green beetle set inside an oval piece of clear plastic, which alarmed and repelled a policewoman who saw it on one occasion. She couldn't understand why I would keep something so sinister in my trouser pocket.
On my house keys a silver Jag XK8 convertible, clockwork but only able to tow the keys along on a shiny surface. Its windscreen is broken too.
The only time I ever put a maker's logo on my car keys the car in question immediately started a long, gruelling process of self-destruction, in which I played a full halfwit's role. So I won't be getting one of those again in a hurry.

My fob is actually a purple AAA size Maglite and a Swiss Army knife with a little LED in it.

It's a virtual certainty. I'll keep an eye open for you! :o)

I forgot my wife's keyfob, which has a huge teddy bear attachment that is annoying bouncing off my right knee.
The motorbike key has no keyfob since they tend to mark the headstock finish through vibration, and the alarm/immboliser remote control is kept separately in my pocket also because of vibration; it tends to break the circuitry over time.

Mines a nice classy Audi dealer keyring which my boss gave me with the keys to where I work. He's had millions of Audis and gets them everytime

A sliver "leaping cat" syle jaguar on a chain, bought at the british grand prix in 2001, a Tesco bar code and a caribina.

None. As I already have keys and remotes for the two vans, The car and the trooper plus keys for the suplementary locks on the transit and keys for home and also the workshop / compound.
This is one big bunch without making it even bigger!
|
A er...."Polar Ford" keyring.
I did have a beer bottle opener on it but once I realised the irony I just couldn't bear to keep it on.

A very old green Top Gear fob, and a bright yellow smiley, which detaches and you use instead of a pound coin in supermarkets.
