Right back to business. do you use the cruise control on your cars?

[Pat Vegas]

I don't like it I feels odd. Like I am in a metal box on 4 wheels flying down the motorway on its own.

[Berni]

Also, I don't like the car thinking it knows better than me - even if it does.

[Classic Jorge]

And that was by accident, which was quite scary

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

After a while it just becomes a different means of control - the buttons to increase and decrease he set speed become just another way of using the throttle, a dab on the brake to disconnect is perfectly natural, then the resume button is your friend.

It works best on a quiet stretch of road, of course.

[Classic Jorge]

It's almost as if it didnt understand that's exactly what you're supposed to do with hire cars.

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

[Berni]

Not least because it is often wrong. I am climbing a steepish hill doing about 40. No I do not want to be in fifth, you c**t.

[IUFG]

the other tossers in front vary their speed too much imo

[IUFG]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Live a little, for f**k's sake.

[Rich]

it's only worth doing when the road is quiet.

[Herbette Chapman - aged 15]

gradually switching all of this extraneous **** off.

[IUFG]

the car, not you.

[Berni]

By which they mean they'd rather get rid of the tiresome lump of meat in the driver's seat that keeps f**king things up. :hehe:

[Classic Jorge]

The Jag knows I'm the master, The Jag is good like that

[Berni]

doing 54mph. Your 5mph increments aren't going to get your speed down quick enough.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

in order to please its key demographic. :hehe:

[Berni]

I'll give it another go.

[Pat Vegas]

I haven't looked into this. EDIT it's for optimal driving and reducing emissions or something.

same with daytime running lights. I can't turn the f**kers off.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Your determination to worship at the altar of ignorance does your Irish side much credit, b.

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

[Pat Vegas]

I get out the car and there is about 3 foot gap :shrug:

That's all you need loads of beeps when you are trying to concentrate.

I always thought the same with Pilots. When something is wrong they have all these noises and warnings flashing and speaking to them all at once. No wonder they crash.

[Pat Vegas]

after a month of driving the car.

[Berni]

I certainly don't do anything as silly as look over my left shoulder anymore.

Mind you, I did brilliantly once manage to get myself stuck between a wall and a pillar in an underground car park where both my front and rear sensors were blaring away on a continuous beep because I was within 30cm of both obstacles. Someone had to help me out. That was embarrassing.

[Classic Jorge]

You're coming in too hot, Striker!!

I guess you'll never be over Macho Grande

whilst it's quite good you can't quite see the very back corners of the car. He may or may not have knocked down a part of a small wall in the car park :hehe:

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I think.

[Berni]

the new job. I'd only just got the parking space. With my name on a plaque and everything. The person who helped me out was a lady from accounts who I'm pretty sure has thought I'm a moron ever since. :-(

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

An idea, as such.

[Berni]

the way they propose to manage traffic.

It will happen, of course. My major excitement about them is that one will be able to get pissed and drive wherever you like. f**k off taxis!

[Pat Vegas]

I'll have a look through the menu later :hide: too complicated.
at least changing the clock was easy.

On my old car it would take forever to put the clock back as you had to hold down one of the buttons on the steering wheel as it would go minute by minute forwards. no way to skip the hours.

I cant even remember where that :grass: custom tag came from

[Berni]

Still you do have to be a bit of a cund to film that, don't you?

[Classic Jorge]

Come on, you must remember

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Ashberto]

I don't have a cruise control on my car.

[Berni]

[Berni]

If you are a cyclist or motorcyclist and have a helmet cam, you are definitely a cund - but much of that is to do with being a cyclist or motorcyclist.

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

Motorcyclists have none of the sanctimony of cyclists, nor do they slow traffic down or demand special treatment.

[Ashberto]

[Berni]

irresponsibly as they like on the road while using a fundamentally vulnerable and unstable vehicle and not get killed.

[Classic Jorge]

Be it, as they are, unencimbered by a massive sense of smug self-satisfaction.

[Ashberto]

Not enough to justify the cost of running a car, probably, but it's nice to know it's there. It was bloody handy when perpetually ferrying stuff between home, storage and temporary flat last year.

[Classic Jorge]

Yes, fried rice please.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Tottenham winning the league?

[Berni]

one of those at all times. There he'd be, running his gloved hand down the side of the desk to see if there was dust, ready at all times to deal with any failure-to-clean-properly-based emergency via his headset. Naturally, he had a moustache.

Ridiculous, jumped-up, headset-wearing cund. :hehe:

I was once extremely put out when I had to travel to Germany on a work trip and forgot it.

Clipboards indeed, this is disappointing.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Also, the little pen-holder bit was broken.

My favourite one was a black leatherette number.

One often hears of various cancers but not anal. Perhaps it is simply not reported to try and allow the deceased some degree of dignity.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Who am I, Doctor f**king Kildare?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

so admirably that Hitler described her as 'the most dangerous woman in Europe' - such was her effect on British morale.

It is such a shame that we breed so few people of such calibre these days. 70 years of socialism has weakened our blood.

[Classic Jorge]

I merely mentioned that she'd suffered from wrongbottom.
