Ha. You might be surprised - certainly with “turn on my heated seat” it knows which side of the car is asking…
Well colour me surprised! I'll try it on the way home and report back. Sorry, wandering off topic.

But also - “hey BMW, set the temperature to 20 degrees” solves this. Does it need to be solved this way? No. Is it neat? Maybe.
Volvos let you say "I'm too hot" or "I'm too cold" which is OK if you are in the car on your own but I feel a plonker doing it with passengers present! DonkeyApple said:

My car also lets people whinge about stuff as much as they like but it's smart enough to completely ignore them.

You do have to press a button on the steering wheel to talk to it!

Don't forget that he drives a '73 RS 911.
That's nothing compared to the two original 250 GTOs he has. Some sources also say he was the purchaser of the 300 SLR Uhlenhaut coupe.He paid $3,750 for each one.
A year later he did a straight swap of one of them for a 250 GTO which he still has.
Not a bad trade.
Latest vid: love that Jag, and agree with all the decisions Harry has made both to try and retain the original injection system and to abandon it once it proved bad. The original looks amazing with all that chrome pipework but there always comes a time when function wins out over form.
Interested in the estimated bhp figures - were they at the flywheel or wheels? Seemed low for flywheel figures (to me) given the capacity of the engine but maybe I'm being unfair to such an old car/design.

Just watched the update on the Jag. Poor Harry having to go back and do all that.
Seems a lot of money for an emerald conversion using old car inlets etc. I know there is a lot of labour.
Should be very good when finished. I wonder how much individual throttle bodies would have cost and if there would be any more power without bespoke cams?
