-- Hello folks,
I have this gripe about new cars and this is the only big platform I
have on which to sound off.  I do have my own Aston Martin Feltham Club
but that is only 150 members. I am getting exremely puzzled as my 2003
Golf is getting a bit sad although it still goes like a rocket.  There
is a little rust and one of the courtesy lights does not work. Â
However, whenever I have a look at new ones they are gadget rich and the
dash is becoming like one from a 737.  Why on earth does there have to
be a rear end crash avoiding system (used to be rear brake lights) as
well as an unwanted-lane changing warning (used to be keeping eyes on
the road) to say nothing of bluetooth (where is yellow and red?),
Spotify (dog treatment?), Hands free telephone (used to be concentration
on the road) and the dreaded in your face screen which like today's TV
and Internet is intent on delivring information you don't really need
(when did you last ponder over your oil temperature?).   So instead of
forking out $30-40,000 I am going to have the Golf all tarted up and
enjoy another 170k kilometers.  The only regret will be - it does not
have a powered rear end tailgate - but maybe I could get that
retro-fitted!  And in this day and age electonic/electrical gadgets die
first ($$$$$)- and Lucas smoke is unattainable now.
I like my MGB GT so much that maybe another as a 'family' car could be
an alternative - but not 100% restored just road worthy and oiled up to
the hllt to counter winter driving conditions. Trouble is I would want
to drop in a Rover V8 as the engine bay was made for it on later cars -
and the broom broom is so much better. Or I coul find a Golf owned by a
little old lady with a tiny mileage. OMG, I am a little old man (I will
not get a sex change) with a low mileage Golf !!!! Oh sherbert - now
what do I do?
