Alt, just finished a hotpot, which was lovely.
Sticking the motor up for sale, doc's paid for insurance, and that runs out end of the month. Bit pricey, so after a smaller one. Seeing earlier car chat here, I may go for a red one.

He's a doctor, so probably a ghastly diesel automatic jag.

Discovery 3 diesel.

Auto?

( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 3 Sep 2014, 15:14, Reply)

Manual, I don't like autos.

Autos are full of win
Fuck all that "having to change gear" rubbish

I disagree.
Although modern autos are good. Nothing beats proper driving. If you're commuting, fair enough, but you can't take an auto out for a blast around country roads properly.

^ has never driven an SL 500 on a country road^

This is true.
But I've driven cars just as fancy on country roads. Automatic gives you less control of speed and acceleration. Simple.

Tggi. Although not with quavers and pringles.

Being a shit driver gives you less control of speed
Acceleration I will let you have as you can have a bit of delay on kickdown

ENGINE BRAKING YOU FUCKING SHIT JOCK CUNT

( Kroney, Wed 3 Sep 2014, 16:09, Reply)

You can still control the speed though using your foot
Acceleration I will let him have as they are two very different things...
(Bonzodog29 is an unemployed sponge of the worst kind, Wed 3 Sep 2014, 16:10, Reply)

You can control the speed by opening the door and pushing it along the ground with your foot.
It don't make it better.
( Kroney, Wed 3 Sep 2014, 16:14, Reply)

It's not recommended as a way to brake either

I throw corpses in front of the wheels to do that
is this wrong?
(Bonzodog29 is an unemployed sponge of the worst kind, Wed 3 Sep 2014, 16:17, Reply)

I have cut holes through the footwell to do this

I hope you get independence and go bankrupt and then your family leaves you and you have to dig through bins for food before getting killed and eaten by foxes

There's something special about dropping a car down a couple of gears and kicking its knackers in.
Even a shit car.

The discovery is good for this, especially on tight roads, it sticks to the buggers like glue.

(DBT became a fruitarian on, Wed 3 Sep 2014, 15:46, Reply)

I had an astra that was surprisingly good at this.
Especially given that pressing the brakes or changing gear at speed used to invoke a game of 'guess which direction I'm going to try and veer towards'.
( Slippery Mick ‏, Wed 3 Sep 2014, 15:51, Reply)

I did have an x3automatic for a while, I just didn't like it.
