I bought and sold a 306 once without pas. It made a Rover 214/216 seem light.

Mrs Rocker had a struggle-steer Micra K12 when I met her. Hateful fucking thing, I tried to punt it on as soon as my feet were under the table domestically but nobody wanted it as soon as the lack of PAS was known. A sleepy village dealer swapped me a W124 for it - I took his hand off which won't have helped his steerage.....



Edit...it was a K11, not that I still care.

Alfa 4c doesn’t have pas.


Less annoying tag line.
Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.

What about Audi and their reluctance to fit airbags in favour of this bollox.

Pro-Con 10 was amazing. And arguable safer than an airbag.

Have we had town and country horns?

IIRC UK cars didn't have them but "exotica" such as Italian built machines.
So what was the last one to have those fitted? Maybe it was an Aston Martin or a Bentley even.

Anyone know?

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

One of my Italian cousins had a Fiat 850 Abarth in the late ‘60’s with them. Don’t suppose that helps much.

I can say it, but I'd be lying.
