A little achievement today.

Definitely well done Tanith as Alima said achieving all those three things is great. I must stop wimping out ( sorry pedants ) and sort out all the things I don't use on the car.
You have inspired me

Know what you mean Tanith, I had to tell all my family when I renewed my passport on line! Was so proud of myself!

Blimey - that is an achievement in my book!!!

My car just has wheels.

I'm truly impressed Tanith. I don't have all those clever features on my car but I sometimes struggle to know whether I've got the headlights dipped or full beam. I might have to copy your idea of reading the manual.

I’m happy some of you are inspired I think we women give up too easily when it comes to cars I know I did.

Grannynise ??

Gosh how brave of you tanith it sounds scary to me.
I don't think I could bring myself to sit back and let a car take me somewhere, much as I'd enjoy that. I take my hat off to you!!

I'm not sure that tanith's car took her anywhere. I think it is just the speed that it controls.

Luckygirl just wheels...those were the days. I remember my dad fitting a heater in his van and putting some seats in the back of another ?

We had cruise control and DH would only ever use it on the really quiet, virtually empty bit of motor way that runs south of the Humber, can't remember what it's called. We used to use that stretch a lot taking DD up and down to uni in Hull. I never used it.

Since going on a speed awareness course (33 in a 30 zone), I now use our cruise control in light moving traffic to keep under the speed limit. 29 spot on!

Oh my..I hope you are talking about automatics..otherwise I have a lot to accomplish! I don't even know what cruise control is! Sounds like something out of Thunderbirds!

Great attitude tanith.

It’s when we get to the ‘can be bothered to try to understand new things’ that the end is in sight.

I think of two old ladies I knew. One, my late MiL, wouldn’t even consider using the internet or email to keep in touch with her eldest son and family living in the US. Her loss!

The other, in her 80s was given her daughter’s cast off lap top and was happy to learn to use it. Her only complaint was that the local Internet cafe’s stools were too high for her! But this led to her getting set up online at home.

Lifelong learning ??

No PECS no just on automatics

? Oh anja I am sure I don't have that option in my car... but if I do I will make sure I know about it by the end of the day! ????

I don't have cruise control or heated seats etc. but I do know how to turn on my fog lights.

My tiny yet satisfying achievement was finding out how to retune my digital radio to find Virgin radio breakfast show instead of Radio 2 which it has been on ever since I was given the radio. Now I can swap between the channels with ease. Might give Radio 4 a go next. Am feeling very tech savvy!
Car cruise control? No chance. I can't even work out how to change the clock when it changes twice a year.

Sent away for the SatNav software and map updates, 45 mins sitting in the car whilst stationary with the engine running to get those done. Felt very proud of myself until I worked out that the SatNav was now giving directions in Km, threw me for speed limits. Drove me nuts until I found a way to change all the displays to km (by mistake), and then when I switched the system back to miles, the SatNav went back too - phew!

Haven't attempted cruise control or speed limiter, really ought to make the effort, you are an inspiration Tanith!

If drive my polo for years without realising where the fog light was! I rang my son who said mam it's underneath the normal lights ! So we still smile about it. Driving a mini now and the gadgets drive me mad !!! Well done tanith.x

What do you mean Steering wheel kitty - you mean it steers itself?

I think you may like a blessings jar I have one and whenever something good happens write it on a small piece of paper and pop it in the jar. When you have a disappointment of are just feeling down open the jar and reflect on how far you have come.

Well done Tannith. You have given me inspiration to take my car out and get some practice. I have used cruise control only about twice and need to practice more without my husband sitting beside me. Thank you.

What a wonderfully positive and celebratory thread! Well done all you lovely ladies ????. I really like your idea of a blessing jar marpau....

Good for you

Wow! Well done, Dora Marr's mother
