Random Irritations

A friend of mine has an XC40, he has just changed an older one for a newer one. Lovely car, not too big but feels solid on a motorway. A very nice place to do miles.

The only criticism is that it is largely devoid of buttons and so everything goes through the touchscreen centre console. Make sure that you are okay with this.

I can't speak for the Kia but if you choose the Volvo, you will have chosen well and you will not have to worry yourself about it.
The odd thing is, I am narked that the big screen on my CX5, when it comes to music stations, it don’t show the group or song name. I spent a couple of minutes touching the screen. It’s not touch screen. 😳😖

You might need to tick a box somewhere. Equally, some car mfrs don't have this option as they think it can be a distraction for the driver. Personally, I find it more distracting trying to work out who sang a particular song that I recognise but can't quite put my finger on 😄

It does, he just hasn't read the handbook and played with it:)
Mine does;)
 
It has a touch screen 😳

Is that when the phone is coupled via Apple play 🤔
Yes it has a touch screen, but that is only active when stationary.
You use the jog wheel for inscreen options and functions.
I dont use Carplay/Android auto as I prefer to keep the phone free and use the radio system as it's made.:)

I went up to Doncaster a month ago and used the Apple sat nav. It was rammel following the instructions. Suffice to say I got lost.
 
I use the car fitted sat nav all the time.
One thing I have found with the fitted sat nav. In the Seat Leon, when you adjusted in or out it gave you an idea of distance. And it stayed that way til you adjusted it. On the Mazda, you adjust the screen to what you want and after a while it reverts back. Why?

If I remember right, you can adjust the distance view.
 
We got the keys to the new house yesterday and moved 99% of our stuff in. Fabulous, uninterrupted view over the golf course, bowls club and out to sea.

5.45am... chug, chug, chug of the local fishing fleet!
Count yourself lucky. Stayed in a lovely B&B in Ryde and were woken about 5.00am with all the seagulls on the roof making a right racket. Decided I couldn't move that close to the coast and suffer that every day

Are you going to be that person? The one who gets the church bells turned off despite them ringing for the past 400 yrs :ROFLMAO: . In your case, it's the fishing fleet. Sorry lads, you can't go out until 9.00am :oops:

Buy a house next to a golf course...............

In Hobbits defence, that is something you wont necessarily know until you live there. The church bells, the trainline, golf course etc. all very avoidable. Hopefully it becomes white noise after a while.
 
The easily offended

Guy at work his name is Roberto. Has it on his work pc log in (says this pc is locked by Roberto , last name) so it's his official name

Comes in this morning someone goes

"Morning Roberto"

My name's Robbie

Oh sorry , you always said Roberto

"I'm telling you. My name is Robbie end of"

Alright then kill the mood

The problem is these days the house wins - even if the golf course was there before

Seen it happen to 3 golf course in the area where they have had to change things because of the houses
