Yep, I chat to Chucky (my 101) all the time when working on him or driving him. I always thank him for a good day out when we get home as well. :)

SWMBO thinks I'm mad...

She may not be the only one, I'm pretty sure Chucky thinks I'm mad too...

It save the manufacturers a fortune and then they sell it to you like it's a 'must have'

This is one reason we bought SWMBO new car when we did late last year as the rep said that the new model would loose Sat Nav, heated and cooled seats and a couple of other things but have enhanced smart phone features....

**** that.... He agreed, but said he would have to learn how to sell that when it happened.

What is Sat Nav?

DL

My wife bought me a Bon Jovi sat nav. Thankfully we’re halfway there!
A sign at the local mall car-park said “Thieves want your sat nav”. I just thought, “well, they can get lost.”
I just bought the new Fleetwood Mac GPS. It’s utter rubbish. It just says “you can go your own way”.
“Where would we be without the sat-nav?”
Just bought a new U2 sat nav!I've had to take it back though.The streets have no name & I still haven't found what I'm looking for!!

I bought a bonnie Tyler sat nav. Awful. Kept telling me to turn around, and every now and then it fell apart.

Got stuck in traffic for so long the other day that even the sat nav said “Are we nearly there yet?”

Notice how the car ads now have perky female presenters, first Ford and now Toyota, and women don't care about how fast it goes, but they like toys like sat nav and reversing cameras. The companies have realised that women control most decisions about which car to buy.

If these super tech vehicles are anything like my electronic devices , I would torch the thing. My fm tuner on the stereo won't hold a signal , the wireless internet drops out randomly , the iPad freezes up , this is the third attempt at this post. And a simple device like my iPod is basically deemed non repairable. So what will the resale values be once these vehicles reach the end of their designed lives ?

no, its because females are more easily influenced by TV ads than males.

I would love to have a Monty Python or John Cleese Sat Nav,
Insults you, even if you follow the instructions.
