Modern cars are so angry.

[BimboBob]

I hate any device that beeps at me. The sheer cheek of it gets on my tits.

Beeps should be banned and beep-manufacturers castrated.

It may take Brexit to get this sorted.

Or it may not.


The Wife's car beeps at everything and once I helpfully pointed out the settings to turn it all off. She ignored me

Snapped many a clutch cable in Morris Minors, you soon learn how to change gear using engine revs and a gentle touch . Used to start one of my cars by putting a shilling piece (5p to you younguns) across the fuse box.

It is usually either a potentiometer (resistive) or a Hall Effect sensor (magnetic) connected directly to the throttle peddle, which is in turn connected to the ETC (electronic throttle control) by wire via the engine management system.

Ah, I've just gotta try n remember that when I'm batting down Broadway. I am not tuggin' at an accelerator pedal, I'm pulling on a, er, what was that again, TMT?

I'm currently (not actually right now) driving a brand new Mitsubishi L200 Warrior Twin-cab (hire car for work).

It's an auto, 5-speed box, which is a bit cack to start with, but the thing is so angry if you don't start it or stop it in exactly the right order.

It's got about three different tones of beep, and the alarm system is also f*cking mental. The bastard thing went off as I was driving it on Tuesday.

Any sympathy I might have had with you (and you do make a valid point) disappeared as soon as you said...

It's an auto

I've drove quite a few L200s in the past, decent off road but not on the road. Nearly lost the back end a few times, especially when going around roundabouts. Are they still shite handling?

Every time i get in the wifes car it tells me something, the fucker even talks too me. Every drive starts with a ''Fuck off''.

Not by choice.

The back end does seem to get a bit lively under breaking.

Can you not just leave the wife at home?

The car tells you to fuck off? I gotta get me one of those...
