Knobstalgia

I used to love being able to write an extended text (no errors) under the desk at school without so much as a glance at the old brick.

I tried an IDBuzz recently. The haptic steering wheel controls are laid out the same as the buttons in my T6 van, so should have felt perfectly familiar.

Just teeth grindingly bad, progress my arse!

As above, I've no idea how the central touchscreens are legal.

I find myself looking at immaculate old Jap import Volvo V70s for my next car...

We got a taxi a while back and a Tesla Model S turned up. It was night so the wife and kids couldn’t see in the back to put belts on. The driver had to go through a couple of menu levels to get to the toggle for the rear interior light. Why not just a bloody switch!?

Because the driver was being a knob. Put the car in park by reaching out a finger and pressing the button and hey presto all the interior lights will come on.

or

Simply push any of the lights in the interior and they will then switch on.

Probably best not to judge cars by the behaviour of taxi drivers...

I have a 19yo Fiesta, it doesn't have the functions to warrant knobs or a properly working stereo so have been looking at ways to fit an old tablet for Satnav and audio.
