The Golden Rule I always follow when getting a new car, though, is to figure out how stuff works before I drive off anywhere.
It reminds me of the time in the early 80s when - as a spotty kid - I replaced the brake fluid in my Cortina Mk IV. I drove off to take it round the block, only to discover at the first junction I hadn't bled it properly and thus had no brakes. I frantically pumped the pedal and managed to stop... ish. I shit myself.
My radio in my present Ford has five preset tabs on a touchscreen, and you can swipe to get another five, then another five, then another five.
I have the first block of five set to Planet Rock, Planet Rock, Planet Rock, BBC R5L, BBC 5SX (the latter two for the football, you understand). Then all five of the other three blocks set to Planet Rock in case of emergency.
