where you don't know whether they are on or off simply by feeling the =
position of the stalk; stupid light clusters that are a triumph of =
'styling' over function and you don't see come on unless you are looking =
right at them, and then only if the sun isn't at a particular angle; =
big-brother systems that in real-time transmit back to the manufacturer =
exactly where you are and what you are doing down to which door was =

the attention drivers of them pay to what it going on outside.
My MG ZS 180 is 15 years old, has only done 50k but I'm going to have to =
replace it soon because spares are getting harder and harder to find. I =
