A light hearted thread for this evening.

What option/ feature on a car signifies if a person has 'made it' in life?

You know you've made it when... You've got leather headlining.

Over to you.

You buy a car that was 'POA', but don't ask them how much it is before getting the cheque book out

When a neighbour comes over and uses an expletive?

Back in 2007, when I was doing well (ah, the memories biggrin ) I bought a nice Porsche 911.

When I got home and parked it on the drive, my neighbour saw me, came over, and his first words were 'you bd!'

For me, it was the head restraints and seat belts in the REAR of my 1984 CDi Cavalier.

Saw an Audi a4 yesterday with a car phone aerial, not many fitted these days, back in the late eighties they were still quite a rare site ?, think I got my first in 1990 but we were well behind on technology .

The 76 cortina 's days were numbered

funny how things change!
