Re: used 911 or tuned MX5 ?

Learn to drive a slow car fast ... then learn to drive a fast car slow. Well said, but I prefer to learn to drive a fast car slow...then learn to drive that same car fast 8-) A fast car doesn't punish you for your mistakes. If you get it wrong you can just put your foot down a bit more and recover ...

Re: 20 MPH limits

that is itself a confusing set of proposals: Drivers turning at a junction giving way to people cycling and walking who may be on your nearside, or crossing the road you wish to turn into. Why would a driver need to give way to a cyclist, if they are crossing the road into which you turn, then they...

Re: Explaining and developing gear selection with a 'student'.

Still not 100% sure which way around it is.... Nick miss quoted Smee when he snipped it and so definition of former/latter not quite clear!

Re: 15000 miles later

Thus, it will go like this: press the clutch, blip the throttle and simultaneously move the gear lever. Then quickly lightly press the throttle as you release the clutch pedal. You can see why people were getting confused - Once you press the clutch in, the gearbox input shaft is completely disconn...

Re: Nespresso Machine

expresso After 9 years in Italy I'm surprised you're still calling it expresso! A personal favourite of my Dad, along with his "labtop" computer :hit: Also a big no to milk from a pod or sachets because they must have preservatives added and not requiring cold storage. Agreed. They do hav...

Re: Nespresso Machine

Re: Cheese Sandwiches

Shhhh... I'm not sure you should be mentioning "The latest news exclusively for IAM RoadSmart members" on a public forum.
What incentive do people have to sign up if they can find out about the price of cheese sandwiches without paying their subs.
