 Lack of Car Knowledge - CGNorwich
"Some people just don't get mechanics at all."

I understand how a car works and like to knowhow everything works bur messing about with cars or indeed anything mechanical is about the last thing I would want to spend my time doing. I did a bit of basic stuff when I was young but to my mind if stuff needs fiddling about with its a design fault.

I like the idea that most things on a car are automatic, allowing me to do what I do enjoy i.e driving.

Having an electic car now is my idea of what a car always should have been. No gears, no clutch, autohold, automatic lights, automatic wipers, climate control, drive assist. I'm always slightly bemused by the accusation that modern cars are simply "white goods" . That's exactly what I want: stop & go pedals and a steering wheel.
