Blimey! The Signum...
I remember that being on the Company Car list. Folks couldn't work out what it thought it was. Hatchback, saloon, estate?
Most gave it a wide berth, and by the looks of it many others did - only in production for a short while.  (5 years?)

Another one that comes to mind was the Sintra van. An even shorter run if I remember. Only one guy opted for it. Probably because he had 5 kids...

I manually changed the clock today in my fancy premium brand 5 Series BMW.  :)

To date my humble Vauxhall Omega is the only car I've ever owned that has altered the time itself when the clocks go back/forward.  ::)  :-\
My VERY humble Vectra C does it too.  :D

...as does the upmarket and highly desirable Signum. :)
Which you no longer own.  ;)

I have a feeling that is what Max V6 from Oxford had for a while?  A rebadged yankee import MPV with brakes suitable for a push bike....

My ML now changes the time itself however the first time we altered the clocks after I bought it, nothing happened which surprised me considering that the R Class before it did it itself. I found a tick box in the head unit that after I ticked it, the car now does it all by itself.

One of the 3 clocks in my 451 Smart I left from last summer so is now correct ..... just need to change the other 2 now!  ;D

I theory TPC does it from a box tick too. Unfortunately, it keeps defaulting to 14/03/06 ;D
Onanists always think outside the box.

Couple of hours plugging and routing wires whilst getting the purple one closer to the road.

Handily some of my labels have got wet and the ink has run so I've been standing there like Indiana Jones trying to decipher "SB--G &£X" or "R§¢✓ F#N"

MOT pass on the Vectra, only advisory was 'sill covers fitted'. Happy days.  ;)

She has given you good service over the years, Ronny.

Wouldn't mind. I hate shopping for replacement cars.
