First thoughts on driving a car with gizmo's

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

My car has AutoHold which you can switch on or off - works really well and has never rolled back.
Press brakes, car stops, handbrake comes on, press accelerator, handbrake disengages and car moves forward.

It's also got Stop/Start which I find annoying when stuck in traffic queues, so I switch it off.

I have a very clever bio-mechanical feedback system on my car. :lol:
