Re: The most difficult aspect of Advanced Driving

A couple of years ago I was mostly using public transport or cycling to work. I'd go out to practice/drive for fun, because otherwise I wouldn't have been driving at all (and with wales on the doorstep, it would have been rude not to!).

Re: Classic hot hatches

205 GTi was up there for me in terms of hot hatches. Never managed to have one, but did own 205 XS (which was my road rally car - surprised a lot of people how quick it was as it was very short geared!), followed by a 309 GTi - again used for road rallies. Then had a 405 Mi-16 for a bit. More recent...

Re: Posting pictures

I will have a look - however what that usually does is still load the original image and resize on the fly - which makes loading a page so much slower... Page loading is already slower than it needs to be since the img tags don't include picture size, which means when one selects the newest unread ...

Re: Brake vs. Advanced Driving

My point was you aren't looking for the same level of progress in a 30 as you would in a quiet country road. I tend to use light and shade as I think the saying goes. I dunno, a busy city environment you can be working just as hard at trying to protect your space, optimise lane for progress (withou...
