Yes, hence it saying sold.

Well if you're going to be so ambiguous about it!

When maneuvering in a car park I just use tho clutch, do not touch the throttle, only in first or reverse, that keeps the speed down One should avoid reversing as much as possible, is that in the HC? One should reverse into parking spaces wherever possible in order to be able to drive out forwards ...

She reminds me of a friend of mine. Instead of learning from the fine, doesn't modify his behaviour and gets caught again claims everyone else does it and doesn't understand how the rest of us don't have 9 points as well. The fact is that's the one thing she's pretty accurate about - most people do...

Of course the absolutely last way you'd choose to go to the London Marathon is by car.

Most satnavs have lane instruction nowadays. It's a tool, it assists. One of my pet peeves is the sheer quantity of road furniture out there to scan, so something that can narrow the options as you approach a junction is generally a good thing in unfamiliar surroundings. I know there's always the sl...

She's had a daft rant and the reporter has taken her to town. She herself says she knows no-one will listen to her

"Cause accidents?" Not a bit of it — satnavs save marriages. When touring by tandem (Is there any other way?) The satnav fits securely on the stoker's handlebar. This means: — I, as Captain, can concentrate on the road and traffic — Mrs. M-k, as Rear Admiral, can keep me on the straight a...

It is a legal requirement to have a working speedometer. No doubt some boffin will be round soon with chapter and verse over this, but I doubt anyone would ever notice if you didn't have one but relied on keeping below the speed limits by using a device or other. Maybe an MOT tester could notice as...

I don't wish to answer that directly as it may have an adverse effect on my chances of a knighthood

Even if Liz took umbrage, there would be a queue to start waving a sword in your direction, I'm sure

Obliged - I've drifted in and out of the thread, as you sense

That's a lovely thing, and exactly what I'd ride if I rode that sort of thing, IYSWIM!

My size, too...

now if this was the USA he would also be charged with the murder of his accomplace, shame he wont be

Really? Interested to know more.

Thanks for the replies, I wouldn’t say I would never use the bike on the road but first thing is to shift excess weight I am carrying and have something with some competitiveness like Zwift or similar that will add a bit of motivation & enjoyment. I had an exercise bike a good few years ago but...

Just like telephoning, switch the **** thing off The brain has two halves, but one cannae do two things at the same time Could you listen to a person in the passenger seat beside you telling you when to turn? That's what a satnav does. Much better than fiddling with a map on your knee, which is wha...

Forget SMIDSY we can have SMIWOTS - Sorry Mate, it wasn't on the Satnav I dislike this stories intensely as it shifts the blame for caresell stupidity form the real source .... the muppet behind the wheel This junction is clearly marked and there is no excuse whatsoever for these crashes. SatNav's ...
