^^^ Very much this.

Although ... my S class turns 18 this year and is about the most complicated you would want for running a barge-on-a-budget - probably 5% capital cost i.e. it lost 95% of its original cost price when I bought it 54 months ago and it is costly enough, but not bankrupting, to keep it going - but the telephone and TV system are obsolete ..... just think what might be obsolete on that new one in 15 years!?



Of course, next generation won't have ICE, but will (we assume) be self-driving.

The generation after that presumably won't have any capability to be "driven" at all in the sense we know today


And it'll only be grumpy old men that have a problem with that

I’m sure be able to choose who your virtual driver will look like... entries on a post card, please.

A suitable ending to vol 16 I think.

I would just add that for any barge heater control, my preference is for temperature and an 'auto' button. Possibly a fan speed with 'max' for the odd occasion.

Currently drooling over these E38s: both for sale for around the equivalent of 3.5-4k GBP - they're rather unloved here. I'd have one in a moment if I didn't have to drive on such terrible roads (which is probably why most people don't want them).

That looks very good. I hadn't realised the peso was so weak against sterling.

As a marker for Vol 17, can we avoid the 'I'm in' posts and perhaps use the Watch button instead? I know, radical...

Happy birthday! Don't worry, I had an E38 728i when I was 21 hehe just don't do what I did and get an E65 745i. We all know how that went.

The W12 seems very cheap? Germany seems to be the last place to even find one these days.
