Re: Posting pictures

It even generates the code to put in your posting for you and does thumbnails, small images and full fat ones. I'd suggest you remove any EXIF data from your pics before posting anywhere. FB etc. d...

Re: Driving with DSG

Interesting. In general my model of good driving involves trying to make all the transitions smooth, but quite happy to use firm braking or acceleration in the middle. On the other hand, in dealing with what I call the 'progress imperative' with IAM Associates, I say: "Imagine you are taking so...

Re: A Local Incident

I prefer more road safety education in schools to young teenagers focusing on psychological factors - dangers, peer pressure, the idea that it is cool to drive safely.

Re: Driving with DSG

YOU really control the gearbox with your right foot. Sure it will have kickdown, but sensitive use of the throttle will affect when it changes up/down.
