Drivers have been warned that cars present a “privacy nightmare” with vehicle manufacturers collecting extensive personal data on drivers, even including their sexual activities.

Cars know about people’s sexual activity? I guess if some drivers try to insert their exhaust pipes up their bums then this was inevitable.

All the more reason to move away from private car ownership.

Given what happened in the back of my first car, they’re going to get fearfully bored after the laughter stops.

They can collect what they like as far as I’m concerned. As long as they fix my windscreen that got hit by a dirty great stone on the A12 on Monday. You know, when you see it coming towards you, you know Autoglass beckons.

More a case of knowing people’s sexual activity from their car. You know, Skoda driver doesn’t get any, Volvo driver once a month in the missionary position, Mazda drivers have to get by on their own. That kind of thing, I think.

So yeah, about that cancer, we're probably just making poor choices.....probably nothing to do with toxic industry and anyway the EU has our backs!

Experts are still in the early stages of understanding the reasons behind the rise in cases. The authors of the study, published in BMJ Oncology, say poor diets, alcohol and tobacco use, physical inactivity and obesity are likely to be among the factors.

Oops, that's me Although I balance it out with a Fiat too, but I don't know what that means. Struggles to go the whole way maybe?

People on the "far" left and "far" right have been warning about this stuff for decades now, and yet people are still uniformly voting Tory and Labour and wondering why nothing changes and we move ever closer to total control. The "centre" the "middle" ground, and their whole ilk are the bad guys.

I guess I could edit out my post if you remove the bit about Skoda drivers in your OP...I used to have a Fiat so if would go with surprisingly powerful for such a small unit and can deliver sustained performance. And early VW GTIs come without accessories...
