I think some folk have a complex about being passed.
Now it really irritates me and was one of the reasons I wanted to try radar assisted cruise
I can't imagine that it would be impossible to design sensors that don't freeze or get bug splatter on them.
There once was a 1970’s British van called the Leyland Sherpa. After that we got Freight Rover which turned into Leyland Daf Vans (LDV). They all kept making essentially the same ancient panel van with various noses grafted on.
At some point we got a new model called LDV Maxus. GAZ was involved in this. Then the big 00’s credit crunch happened and the Chinese company SAIC bought everything.
Fast forward to 2021. Were now getting Chinese made Maxus badged people movers and vans. I’m probably one of very very few in the country to which the Maxus badge means anything at all. I’ve seen a single LDV Maxus in my life, ever.
I watched a Finnish test drive of one on YouTube and it seems that whoever ordered it didn’t read the fine print properly because it didn’t have an adjustable heater. It did have both AC and heat, but they were either on or off. Assuming they actually worked properly this means you were either in a chest freezer, in a sauna or at the mercy of the outside elements.
It’s not a bad looking box though.

Forget that, look at the old one!There once was a 1970’s British van called the Leyland Sherpa. After that we got Freight Rover which turned into Leyland Daf Vans (LDV). They all kept making essentially the same ancient panel van with various noses grafted on.

Provided you can adjust the heat/cool levels you would just have a loud fan all of the time.

I need one.
I'm gonna need 1996 or older...A load of red 2004ish LDV Convoys with roller shutter doors cropped up around my bit last year.
Apparently the Highland and Island Fire Service had a clear out.
Because it's vastly simpler than their "actual" model names and communicates more pertinent information (i.e. "is it a good or a bad BMW" versus just "series and relative position in the lineup")Why does it feel like everybody knows the BMW e naming system? Not everybody can be a diehard bmw fan.??
