Renton 20567 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Drinks? Are you back in that campsite in Pooley Bridge? If so I'll keep an eye out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20567 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 http://www.arrse.co....11&d=1364148888 Its the fact its essentially an automatic sports car that confuses me. The gear changing is the best part. Come to think of it i think I'll take the Alston road on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has paddle gear changers on the steering wheel and you can also use the gear lever in "tiptronic" mode to flick it up and down gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, I see, very swish. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford a sports car myself. Probably not like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Delighted. Just discovered the BBC iPlayer radio app and its a gorgeously designed bit of highly functional and well stocked futuristic style genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4676 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I've never driven an automatic, how does it differ in terms of feel? It's wired not having anything to do with your left foot, the inclination for me was to use it to break but that was a terrible idea that I only did once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 2 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 You do less with your left hand. Which is ironic, because it feels more like someone else is driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6875 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Does anyone ever feel like their family is cursed? Like you don't have more than a couple months of stress free living before something else shit comes along and stresses everyone out again for a few months?

I did have a period a year or two ago where there was basically no time that a member of my close family wasn't in hospital with something serious. whats happening?

Kid Dynamite 6875 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Nothing I can put on here really but adds to a long line of family deaths, cancer scares, relationship break ups etc. Easily the worst 2 years my family has seen and it doesn't seem to be getting better anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6875 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Cheers, as daft as it sounds I've had a pretty privileged first 28 years of life with very little stress. This real life shit isn't much fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10542 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Sorry for your troubles J69, hope they're sorted. Personally, I'm feeling let down, I'd hoped a friend would help me out with some translating, but he's being a prick and scooting off to some Eurovision event instead... what a prick. I'm also sun burnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
