Weird car options, an observation

[mustang1]

I remember when cloth seats were a luxury.

They are coming back into fashion. Porsche calls them tex (or something like that) and are about £4k.

Same with bm.

I thought BMW was no-cost option?

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

No.

Thanks

May have changed as it's been 6 years Si ce I bought one but it certainly was extra to have it de badged back then.

When you have keyless and you get home at night do you have to park the car away from the house to be far enough away for it to lock?

Always wondered...

Try the key on the head method.

I thought they were NCO from at least 1986.

Definitely not. I had 3 from new over a 10 year period and Mrs Slick would ask but I would never pay for less.

Did you buy the optional 'trafficator' pack, not many do.

I did. Lovely thing to drive but mechanically the biggest most unreliable piece of shoot I've ever owned.

Never heard of it, so I doubt it. Tell me it wasn't the warning triangle?

Haha, I do remember one old boy having them in an old classic but not sure which type.

I worked on them in the early 80's and discovered that

I refer you all to the Renault thread

You get all these things for £ 6.99


On the special paint ,a lot of Arab buyers have gold leaf paint, yes gold and your often looking at several thousands of pounds a litre, and you need at least 2-3 litres for a range rover.
If you have money its like most of us paying for a carbon bottle rack to them.
Heady stuff
