Can you get any closer to the steering wheel?

FFS.



And yes I am back in the white van that had the passenger side wing mirror fall off when I pressed a button by accident. The apprentice has fixed it.



Ford Ts were much worse.

Aren't there dire warnings about the potential consequences of being too close to an airbag?

Reminds me of my Grandad, driving his 1956 Austin A35 (5881 F), cap on head, pipe in mouth, nose an inch from the steering wheel.

Gaffa tape one supposes?

A question, when did most cars get these very sloped windscreens as I'm always bunping my head on the sunvisor of the passenger seat. Brian

I have one. Pain in the arse. It steams up instantly you get in thecar for some reason.

With his pipe between the wheel spokes, then? Turning corners must have been fun!

Was that the "Wing Mirror Eject" button?

My daughters warned me about men in hats driving cars. All crumblies. They were right

My mother warned me about men walking dogs at night. I wonder

Indeed! I remember sitting in the front passenger seat, and being allowed to turn the indicators on and off for him, the switch, in an A35, being top centre of the dashboard.

Not entirely. They're right about being cautious of men wearing hats in cars, but they need to include yoofs wearing baseball hats.

SWMBO and I came to the conclusion, many years ago, that trilbies are the worst.

(I only have one hat, I don't wear it when driving, and anyway it's an Akubra)

S*it vans. They have no passenger side cup holder, breaks down every 2 months (the one I drive does), and the replacement van lasted a day.
