    What makes you feel old?

    Still same definition here Subscriber Trunk Dialling, originally designed to route "trunk" calls (long-distance) automatically. In the UK, these are now commonly referred to simply as "area codes".

    SOS Button or Breakdown Insurance?

    For those without service history or whatever, Breakdown Insurance can be had very cheap using the comparison sites. Don't bother with the AA or RAC or even Green Flag. I have had perfectly satisfactory cover in the past with randomly named ones on these sites in the past ((they are usually...

    The naming of cars...... Have you?

    Only ever named 2 cars, way back in the day. A Volvo 240 was Frank the Tank. * pics not my car as I never had a camera then. Second car was Gus the Bus, A Citroen CX Familiale. 5 metres long, 3 rows of seats and still a large estate space. Travelling through France even the French drivers...

    Efficiency over range

    I think it's from about £37,000 now, I hope that answers your question. :) However, if as I suspect you may have implied, you want to include the manufacturers owners as an element, then probably a similar cost to buying Chinese state owned items, such as ....... :unsure: but we wouldn't...

    Compressed Air Generation Anyone?

    Next Car?

    Archev's adventures in the Berlingo

    That had already been done, only set for order and payment notifications. I'm wondering if it might be an Alexa notification, I have altered some settings there (in the same Amazon account settings).

    Very poor range

    Are you sure it was 73, ;) there are roundabouts and slower speed limited stretches between Cambridge and Sheffield :D Or are you only counting the A1 stretch and not the ends to get onto and off the A1 ? It's a long slow bit from the A1 to Sheff.

    Advice Needed Please

    A lot of the things that affect NCAP are the things we all don't want anyway. I'd take NCAP 4 if it meant the LKA was permanently off. :)
