    Funny story about that, in 2002 my username was "Brocktonblockbuster" but when the site got revamped later that year I think, I shortened it to Brocktonblockbust because it was too damn long to type.

    I know quite a few people on here who have been banned from about 2003 and are now back on here with their third or fourth username to be honest.

    Got a new car which is my first since 2009. It is all electric brakes, automatic wipers, lights, drive assist on hills, keyless entry/start, alerts when it thinks you will crash which cause you anxiety etc

    I am finding it hard to give control to the car.

    Getting close to driverless cars.

    Ha! I get you. We got a brand new motability motor 2 yrs ago now and the auto handbrake thing did my head in at first. Bad enough not having some wire ratchet to pull with both hands, now replaced by a little button lever, but then for the car to apply the handbrake for you freaked me out. Auto headlights, auto this that and the other, but luckily still has manual gears, which i could never imagine driving without. How souless and joyless to drive a car where the car even decides what gear you should be in?

    See, now I must be a few steps ahead on the road to “fogeyism”, but I CRAVE an automatic car next time round. I hate changing gears.
    Or more to the point , I hate being in a car with my missus , and her bleating “you should be in 5th now!”
