In which case Flamez is amazingly right. Anything a chav does is crap, and we need to get the suggestion in that having no mouth is brilliant

I think people are missing the point? The link was to technologies that are not necessarily outdated, but are simply superfluous.
A perfect example is the moronic electronic indicator stalks that tempt me to snap the bloody things off every time I drive a car with one. Electric
handbrakes also fall into this category.

The most redundant thing on many cars is the message on the door mirror - "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear". Of course
they are! That's what happens with mirrors! So every time I look in that mirror I have to look at a message for morons who can't work
that out?
Even better - on my wife's Matiz, the message is written on the passenger door mirror, but not on the driver's...
Also the lurid and untidy sticker on both sun-visors telling me not to mess about with the air bags. I know they're dangerous, and I have no
intention of f'ing around with them! And why does it have to be especially big due to all the languages it's written in? If they had to
have a label, couldn't they have written it in 1 language and made it smaller? I can't read French or Spanish anyway...

Rev counters, absolutely no point on anything but a race car and even then you'd be better spending the time spotting apexes and looking in the
mirrors.
Electric handbrakes
Bulbs that require bodywork disassembly to replace.
Cigarette lighters (but I can see the point of a standardised power socket)

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Ah... Got it!
Have to be the Focus' bonnet lock, then. I can't imagine why your typical thief would choose to nick the contents of the engine bay over
those inside the car. Yet you need a key to open it. :confused:

Engine bay really needs to be secure else it's an easy target for vandals (handful of sand in through the oil cap etc.) Most cars use the door
locks and an internal bonnet release but presumably Ford find it cheaper/easier to put a lock under the front badge (Mondeo's are the same).
