Had a reversing cam in my Yaris, fucking handy. Makes parking a doddle.

This had the back of the car marked out on it too. Not seen that yet, only actual camera's mounted to the back of the car. Also beeped if I was too close to something etc. I think id rather have a satnav in it's place, or a rocket launcher. Fast lane clearance system. :lol:



...but yeah I did like that Golf. Tells me alot that anything VW or with the underpinnings VW I would have in a heart beat over anything I have driven in the Mercedes range. AMGs, CLS's, soz Merc, you cannot impress me.

The pointless 2.2l CLS variety.



To be honest what ruins them for me is the combination of their signature footbrake and a manual gearbox.

This talk of parking cameras is reminding me of Clarkson in the Range Rover fitted with cameras. Not that I can find the clip on youtube.

Is that the one where the view is "above" the car with an almost 360 degree view? Taht's weird shit, BMW X6 and X8s have them too (same tech, developed by Jaguar Land Rover I think).

Not sure. I just remember a segment where there's cameras in certain places (mostly to help with off roading) where you can zoom in.

A mate of mine invited me to hammerfest for £30! Bargain! Never been before and the line up isn't bad, anyone have any idea how it's working this year? are the hammerfest and aor bands getting a stage each with the other 3 getting one stage a day?

Went for afternoon pints, didn't want a smoke at all while my mate who "doesn't smoke" was dying for one the whole time since she usually bums smokes off me :lol:

I have a proper date date tonight. He's really thought of EVERYTHING. I'm hoping I've finally just met someone really sweet and romantic, but knowing my luck he'll be some kind of psychopath.
