So, the bike was overtaking stationary traffic? 
 

Oof.

Yeah… police were nearby as someone had been run over and there were road closures, this is why there was queueing traffic.. then whilst we’re waiting for ambulance (kid is ok thank fuck) another motorcycle goes into the back of a car further down the road towards the road closure 😞

Pleased to hear everyone's OK and hope you're alright PL, and can get the car sorted without any drama.

Went and signed for a new Focus yesterday, didn't I? The best of all cars. If it ain't broke don't fix it. 

 

Went automatic this time though. Should have done it ages ago.

Fucking hell. I'm no petrol head, but you've given up on life here, the automatic being the final piece in the jigsaw. I bet your car is silver too.

It's black, bitch. Also automatic is the right choice. The automatic is higher bhp on the Focus too, you'd be fumbling for the gears as I disappear over the horizon in my dodgem.

Yeah. Prefer it to automatics which I've driven a fair bit as well. Feels like you have more control imo. All getting consigned to history soon enough with EVs anyway.

I thought it was already finished but the lad said no official announcement yet. Seems a weird choice given the popularity.

It was because of the ban on ICE cars but seeing as that’s been pushed back it might get a reprieve.
