Test drive day. Not sure how I'll cope with all the new fangled gadgetry. And bloody autos, but there's no arguing with Boyo on that one unfortunately.

I decided that fancy stuff doesn't matter. You'll set it up once and never touch it again. I just wanted to know how the cruise control worked

I'd rather it didn't exist at all where possible, but that is pretty hard to find.

It also makes cars a privacy nightmare, just like TVs. I'd like a TV that's nothing more than a good screen of that size but no one does that anymore. Both cars and TVs have to track you as much as possible these days

Read the manual. Familiarise yourself with the controls. Be calm.
