Junkman Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Quite the opposite of the Stuff fitted to your car that you never seem to use thread.What irrational stuff does your car absolutely have to have? What can't you live without? My cars must have working interior lights. If they don't come on when I open the door at night, the car is unusable.

Mr A Lawrence Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 My jaguar has the feature, I think it's for fat American people, that when you take the key out, the seat moves back and the steering wheel moves forwards. This I can't do without. Also, armrests in the front is another thing I can't do without. brickwall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Breadvan72 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (1) Wot Junkman says. I will drive a spavined death trap that is mostly on fire without a second thought , but will spend 20 hours trying to fix the interior lights on a perfectly usable car; before sending it to the crusher if the fix fails; and (predictably enough)(2) At least one dead hooker in the boot.

Guest Breadvan72 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Yay that. Of all the myriad reasons for not buying a Princess, the absence of a rev counter has always been the clincher for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren t claim Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 From a taxi point of view I must have electric rear windows cos punters have a habit of leaving them open. Alloys are a must due to me hating having to replace trims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloth in a bowl Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 manual gearbox is the killer app for me, I can give up almost anything else. oh and predictable brakes, they can be shit as long as they are shit in the same way each time. hauserplenty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alusilber Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Generally speaking, a rev counter, temperature gauge, and the main dials in front of where the driver sits. Oh, and I do like a leather steering wheel too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Adjustable intermittent wiper speed. Dealbreaker. You'd hate Binis. Only has intermittent at 5mph or less, otherwise the only settings are 'on' and 'fast'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuke Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Rev counter - if they never came with one (e.g. boggo classics) I'd have to cut holes in the dash and fit one anyway. Decent sounds - doesn't have to be really loud or bass-heavy, but cannot drive with tinny-sounding speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
