chrisp65 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I like that my Skoda has hand gesture technology. Swooshing my hand close to the screen changes the album, or shows me a text I’ve received or turns the volume up on a call. Of course, it also switches the radio to BBC Radio 3 if you try to use the indicators, but hey, early adopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I’ve had my car 18 months, it came with the self parking feature which I thought was really cool... still not used it, not even as a trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom_Wren Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Sold the f350 truck, couldn't do the payment (see the 12 months thread!). Hopefully weds/thurs have an update on a new ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I don't think they work well in red for some reason. I chose the blue because that was my favourite colour for that model, but I've since seen the Brera spider in champagne and that gave me a trouser crisis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 NO. Never buy a car in light brown. Beacuse that’s what it is. You can call it champagne, you can call it organic calico in California, you can call it Gwyneth’s crotch. it’s metallic light brown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aways amazes me when you see cars in these shitty colours, I think at some point someone was in the dealership with a full colour pallet of options to pick from... and went with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 'hearing aid beige' has to be the most descriptive thing I've heard in my life lol 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Probably a bit stereotypical or sexist even to say, but SUVs should come with a lisence requirement, i.e. there should be a test involved. The amount of women driving SUVs where I live is ridiculous, and they can't drive them for squat. They have no idea how to position the car, nevermind driving it. But for some reason the housewives here come with a cabin tractor, even if they clearly aren't comfortable driving it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, I see, the Fiat colour is flat, but Alfa’s metallic hearing aid beige, that’s a different level. I’ve mentioned it a few times before, I saw a brown Porsche and I just couldn’t get my head around what thinking process had lead to someone deciding brown was the right colour for their Porsche. If you want it to disappear, choose black, or white, or silver. If you want a cock substitute, go with red or yellow. What the hell is brown about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree no-one should be buying a proper 'morning stool' brown car. Unless it's one of those period 70s yokes that just looks like a time capsule. maybe with a lovely orange interior.

Some colours just suit a car. Red and Ferrari. White and Lamborghini. Silver for an Aston. BRG for a Jag sports car. I wouldn't even consider a red Aston* A brown porker though? Not good. *well, it was free, I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
