The Z4 is a "hugely entertaining car, a silver-footed roadster with surprising amounts of grip, balance and responsiveness, all plugged into the driver's intuition by BMW's familiar patch cords," Mr. Neil says.
I am a little bit confused about the last part of the above sentence, who can explain it to me? Many thanks!
@Nancy88,
This is what webopedia says.
'Also known as a patch cable, a patch cord is a piece of copper wire or fiber optic cable that connects circuits on a patch panel. '
In the sentence it must be a metaphor. It's saying that the responsiveness of the BMW is so intuitive, it's almost as if the driver's brain is hard wired into the controls.
Stumble It!
