Does anyone else talk to their Disco 🤔
Just got back after a stunning 1500 mile round trip from Sussex to Oban for New Year with friends. So as I drove up to the house I, out loud, said “thank you for a flawless trip with no issues” My wife looked and me and said “it was a perfect trip” she thought I was talking to her😂😂

After saying that you are totally doomed! You need to find every 4 leaf clover on the Island of Ireland and touch every bit of wood on the planet. They hear you, they remember, trust me I know.

I must admit I do say well done for getting us back after long trips. He’s been good to us for five years.
I grew up in Argyll (Kintyre) - that stretch used to be a wonderful overtaking opportunity before all the landslides!!2005 D3 V8

Hi, that’s what the long queues were. They seem to be erecting massive metal nets at the base of the mountains. Yes amazing roads. Wish I was still there 👍
Yeah they have been working on that mountain pass for decades now. They will probably end up having to build a whole new trunk road on a different route because every engineering solution so far has failed. Sadly investment in the infrastructure in that part of the country is fairly non-existent. It's great you had a nice visit - it is a wonderful place. Argyll itself has more miles of coastline than the whole of France. the area around Oban is nicknamed the Scottish Riviera but you will need to come back in the Summer to see it earn that!!2005 D3 V8

Indeed it is.
Probably just like “Gods Own Country”.
Kent thinks it’s down there, but it is in fact up in glorious Yorkshire.

Oh, and back on topic, no I don’t talk to my Disco …… I’m not that daft. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I used to argue with the voice command system, esp when it said “command not recognised”. How can it not recognise “order me pizza!!”.
