You mean you've got stuck to the sweaty seats?

I bought my Mk4 Fezza on a wet winter night when it became obvious that the brake failure on my Minor wasn't going to get fixed before work in the morning.....Kept the car for three winters until the MOT failure sheet became a full house at Scrappit Bingo.

I still miss that car, would definitely have another. Oh, and the seats were fine in mine but I never could/did clean the steering wheel satisfactorily and ended each journey feeling like The Yorkshire Vet after a particularly fraught lambing season.

I've even been mulling over the thought of sorting the paintwork out with a professional mop and maybe a partial rattle can respray.

The thing I miss the most over my previous cars is built in Bluetooth.

Mine had an aftermarket Panasonic head unit with USB capability. I still miss that, although it is in the shed pending arrival from USA of a loom swap to enable it to hook up with the Chrysler system....

Tempted to swap the Ford CD player for a tape unit and use one of those phone adaptors that worked well in my E36 Coupe.

Yeah, if only the Chrysler had a tape unit (1994 and CD - quite unusual for US cars) I could have done the same....It plays any CD I've put in it - for 40 seconds. Enough to know the 6 speaker Bose system is well worth sorting out a head unit for.

I'm sure they do but sadly I have a mobile phone that would scarcely raise an eyebrow in a 1930s sci-fi film.
