Re: Fuel saving tips

I watched Jay Leno showing off his new Spectre yesterday and was struck by one part of it that made no sense. He said that the regen braking was so good that he had more range in the car when he got back than when he set off. Assuming he never charged it then I think RR may have just invented perpet...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

The photo is a snapshot of a moment in time. It does not show at what point the signal was applied or whether it was cancelled a moment later. In the example given by the OP he states that he was already in the offside position and then applied the signal to mean "it's going to happen now"...

Re: These shoes are made for walking

She doesn't understand how I can feel the pedals through the rugged soles. Maybe point out that the police seem to manage, given they must wear chunky shoes and still be able to drive to a high standard. I remember attending a local IAM group one evening for a talk given by the head of Sussex Polic...
