    BMW to phase out the steering wheel

    Seriously, they're nuts. I don't get it. How can it be the Ultimate Driving Machine if you no longer drive it?

    i think 2 years ago, there was an ad in the paper for a phone (not sure if this was global or just here) that had a built in swiss army knife thing, had a knife and pliers and whatnot folding into the phone, and it was on "limited offer" so hurry up n get yours yea. the people who went there were very politely told that they had just been duped but were given a discount voucher for some store....hilarious!
    wat the hell do i put as a siggy?!?!?!

    Someone mentioned that only UK companies put out press releases like this as there are too many lawyers everywhere else in the world.

    Not suprised. All you did before was point the car in the right direction anyway, not like you decided how fast you accelerated or braked really before, or all that much about how quickly you turned. Ridiculous number of driving aids, why not just make the entire car a taxi that doesn't need a driver?

    seriously!

    i think the closest they come is some porsche engineer in a dark back room who is obsessed with the work 'monocoque' as much as they say it
    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls
