My brother has an old skool carphone fitted in the centre console of his X reg Alpina. Don't think he's ever used it as he didn't have the car from new :laugh:

There's one of those in a cupboard somewhere at home, a Motorola IIRC. My dad had it in his lorry many years ago.

I wish I could find an Alpina to go with it!

I have to admit for most people the phone call side of phones ( A bit ironic ! ) is not what phones are used for by most people. My lad has a S23 Ultra and I have to admit the camera (for a phone camera) is very good and has the advantage that's it's always with you ( one of my many Hobbies is photography) He offered me his S21 but it is just too big and would have been an overkill for my purpose and I most likely would have killed it, I also realize my outlook on life is very different to what most people want, all I need is emergency/semi emergency contact with people I consider as close friends and family members.

I use my phone to surf the internet, read a magazine I subscribe to or to look at maps. I don't phone people very often or don't generally be in touch with that many people but if I do message or call someone, it will probably be using Facebook messenger or Whatsapp.

I think the last time I made an a traditional phone call was to my dentist to book an appointment a few weeks ago.

My brother’s will likely be for sale soon thanks to ULEZ :sad:
