Keycard dimensions?

Ok, ok, it's a slightly slow afternoon here, and my mind wanders tooooo... 197/200 keycards! I've never actually seen one before. What are the actual dimensions, and where do you keep yours? Is it thin/small enough to fit in a wallet for instance?

You've never seen a 200 key card and you've got a 200? WTF?!

It goes in my purse. Done. Keyless entry and start up FTFW!

What wrong with the good old fashion key?

I've got a 200, it's just in pieces, being watched over by frowning men pulling hard on cigarette butts in Dieppe for the next 2 weeks

credit card size, about 4/5mm thick. sooo convenient, but always para about locking the car.

Thanks for the info. Further questions cross my mind such as; what if someone dives in the car, starts it and drives off while you bend over to do up a shoelace before getting in? Does it keep going until they turn the ignition off, or simply coast into the nearest front garden once it gets 20 feet away?

If I'm sitting in the seat, the card needs to be in my left pocket for it to work...doesn't detect the card always if its in my right pocket. You have to at least be in the car for someone to start the engine. Once you've started the engine, you can chuck the card away if you wish...engine will stay on regardless.
