:shock: Do you guys have technology :o
I have all the tech I need. I won't share what I think of people that want everything in life to be easy and automatic: they will learn nothing and will be useless individuals. The leaders of the human race love a little hardship and diversity: the rest are just drones.

As I said, I'm not into tech.

But I guess the tech boffs will be first in line the moment there's an app/gadget that can take over procreation as well....

So your next car is an ox wagon, Jakes?

You know.. to prove you are a man that needs nothing from technology... :D

At least then, your kak comment will bear some weight and have some truth to it... And then... you could put a claim in becoming the ruler of the world.. :lol: :lol: :lol:

You guys are so freaking funny. :D


Edit: Wait... an ox wagon is also technology... just older.. :roll:

Just admit that you are a miserly bastard that would rather walk than spend a dime...

I drive a Tata Xenon base model. If there were still ox wagons, yes, I'd probably drive one.

And I am indeed as tight as a ducks arse.

Well.... The Tata is as close to an ox wagon that you probably could get today. You have my respect.. ;)

The only bit of tech I use is my e-Toll tag. Makes it so much easier for Sanral to bill me. I’m a nice guy that way.

I have the Isuzu KB300.
I dont use its navigation because Google Maps is free and better.
I connect the Bluetooth so we can listen to music.
I use the cruise control on long trips.
The folding mirrors have never been intentionally used.
Electric adjusting mirrors are used often.
USB is used to charge the phones.
Aircon is used when wifey is starting to melt and the yammering starts to get louder than the music...
I dont like leather seats but it came with the bakkie.
Power steering is nice.
Push button start is cute - even my 6 year old can start the bakkie. I have a bad feeling about this one though for future reference...
Keyless entry is handy when you have too much stuff in your arms.
Traction control helped on slipery roads but I just saw the light flash once or twice. I can switch it off.
I have tested the ABS but not in an emergency yet.
4x4, low range and diff lock have been used a few times this year.
Half the trip computer is handy to see fuel left, km traveled and the consumption. The km left until empty and a few other things never get seen. Outside temperature is also interesting.

Cheese, canals and mud. Flattest country in the world. Wish they had 4x4'ing here

Watch out for keyless entry..........lots of Fords and Toyotas being redistributed due to that.
