Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Bless you... 💀

All the mechanical underpinnings are Micra aren't they.

The old methods are the best

drove to london's famous easternly end yesterday for shitz+giggz because i can because electric car etc.

parked up. fucked about for two hours. completely forgot where i left the car. took us nearly an hour to find the cunt.

o how we laughed.

Do you have iPhone paired with car Bluetooth? Apple maps will leave a car icon in the right place for you. Useful for next time.

anrdoid. i have to plug it in via usb in order for it to work in the car.

i'll take a pic of the road sign next time.

the old ways...

drop a pin on google maps :)

Android does it automatically. He could have just said "Hey Google where's my car?"

Hahahhaha

And you can pair it with Bluetooth dude. The USB connection is only for Android Auto to work.

Time for your next lesson?

Sounds like Android is extremely intuitive and provides context driven prompts of great utility

i just tried that and google seems to think my car is somewhere in FoHi right about now, which made my heart skip a beat or two.

it's not .

yes no i do realise this - AA only working when tethered is a bit shit tho.

but then you cant get wankered :(((

What car is it? Most have a location thing in the app now…

go back to land rovers, hillbilly

i think this has more to do with the fact that i haven't been anywhere near london proper for over a year and a half. and my short term memory is fucked.

second stage of rehab

anyhoo. electric cars - they're great and everyone should think about getting one.

Have any of you younguns used a London A-Z before? Used to find my way around with one of them ( my eyesight was good then) highlighter pen and biro used to plan my route.
Often getting lost is the best way to get to learn your way around.
I sound very old , this should go in the middle age thread...

I've been flathunting with an A to Z and a copy of Loot

Lost my car in Torrevieja for a good hour, rental-spec Clio in a vast grid of identikit shabby Spanish streets

One year anniversary of my car having its third replacement ecu fitted and thankfully it’s been mostly trouble free in that time (touch wood).

Treated it to a fresh set of Michelin PS4’s, a full alignment and a proper wash to mark the occasion. Nice to finally ditch the runflats, something I had planned to do a long time ago but had to get over the cost of an ecu from bmw.

Why am I looking at R34s on Carsales? So affordable!!!

AA only working when tethered is a bit shit tho.

I think that's a good thing... Sits under the dash and gets charged while you're etc...

tru - tho the integration/ screensharing into the onboard digi-dash is a bit shite as well. one third of the screen is used to tell you that you are using AA. gee thanks for that, that's super helpful.
