  OK, let's get back to the car analogy.
  
  Sixty years ago I build a car. Since then I've spent a small fortune on improvements to it to add electric windows, air conditioning, disc brakes and all the other things I see on foreign cars in the 21st century.
  
  I've also had to extend the seating due to the increase in my family size plus the fact that for some unknown reason I've allowed a load of other people to live in my house.
  
  When I look at my neighbour's cars I note that none of them have copied my design and that their cars are a lot more comfortable people-carriers with quieter more efficient engines and much better fuel economy and do not have the same trouble starting whenever the temperature drops.
  
  Should I consider getting a new car designed for traffic conditions in 2018 or continue trying to keep my much loved jalopy on the road?

  
  
  And I would appreciate it if you come and get it off my drive:
