Technology dumbing down?
So as some of you may know I help on the "Driver Alertness' course (NDAC) for drivers who would have been prosecuted for driving without due care. Last week I had someone who when faced with a hill start in my car, panicked and exclaimed: "I can't to this!". After me talking her gentl...

Re: Steering input
So you are happy putting your hand/wrist/lower arm across the airbag during some steering?
I use a combination of fixed grip and pull/push for larger movements.

Re: What Happened?
Even in a short drive there will be dozens of situations in which a collision could occur, if yourself or another road user did not take some action. In the confused and, may I say complex, average High Street with all the 'polite?' giving way and stopping and starting; the poor old machine is goin...

Re: I'm resigned to driving slower and slower.
Yes I share your feelings. I've seen some perfectly good local rural roads go from NSL, to 50 and now 40. Autonomous cars aren't going to be practical/available anytime soon but when they are I guess AD will increasingly become a minority sport (even more than it is now) and seen as somewhat 'outdat...

Re: Does anyone ever see a blue IAM badge?

Re: All change
Sorry Nick bit late to this thread (I blame my holiday)...I'm sure the VRS will be fun and def. approve of the Boxster wheels...it's only taken you what, 3 years and I don't believe a word of your 'it was going to be too expensive/difficult to repaint yellow'. Look forward to seeing both in the comi...

Re: Low Profile Tyres. Why?
I've got 18" moderately low-profile tyres and I wouldn't describe the ride as bone-shaking...would you?
The Mk3 STs come with an option of 19" wheels and that's one I wouldn't be taking though.
