Re: Trying to find someone.

I typed Liverpool in the search box, top left. :) A master of thinking! I'm afraid I've become a bit 'hard-of-thinking' lately :oops: That's the one! Thanks, my brain's been a bit fried lately, it's the excessive amount of relaxing I've been doing the last two weeks or so! :mrgreen: How's the sleep...

Trying to find someone.

A short while back, I remember someone offering me a drive with them in Liverpool, however I can't recall who it was, or what thread it was posted in!

Anybody remember who it might have been? I'd like to take them up on their offer!

Re: Use of ZF 8-speed auto gearbox (BMW and other makes)

In the days of old where brake fade was a very real and common problem, I could understand the hesistance to use brakes - but modern braking systems are so good that I wouldn't have thought using the brakes to control your speed going downhill would be such an issue now? It depends... for heavy veh...

Re: I'm going to buy a Skōda

I already have a Skoda, and I am now in my first serious long term relationship! The boyfriend still thinks my Skoda is too flash - I guess he thinks I should have some kind of clapped out banger! :mrgreen:
