automatic or manual

No need to take it personally Ronny, we don't just have an issue with you...

It's with all women who drive autos!

:\pimp3:

don't generalise. some of them can drive too. its just the ones in 4wds (suvs for you north americans) who often are dangerous.

Ladies, I think you've been officially damned with faint praise.

For his next trick, Ronny will review 'Women and VCR Programming'.

the modern woman can operate technical appliances as well. i don't know what kind of females you've been hanging out with.

Wow, that's a relief. I sure was getting sick of all that confusing button-pressing every time Neighbours came on!

How are they at taking the rubbish bins out onto the street? Any headway there?

Manual is standard here. I never learned to use automatic.

And what are they like at quoting on a forum, Ron? Any good with them pesky square parentheses?

I was going to go for a more cerebral reply there, but it seems unfair to go into a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

Good to see all the big issues are being taken to task here though - up next; electric shavers vs. disposables - the grudgematch. Intellectual pistols at dawn. CTB

BHCD? Be Hind Closed Doors? It's not 'intellectual highground', Ronno - it was just a wry comment. And not everyone talks crap here either; many here are also capable of using capital letters occasionally. And in the spirit of of your sage advice, if you don't like my comments

I believe I have more than my fair share of no-crap talking posts, just look at my comments re the Sydney riots. Why the vitriol? I never had a go at you.

I have my 'Ring wings

2 laps on a proper death track, in my own car, un-insured

Been on a corporate shin dig tonight where some guy was trying to tell me 'all about' the Nurburgring on a Playstastion thingy, he knew the course.

On his fookin PS2

He did the 'Karusell' on a joystick.....I fookin did it in me own motor.

Did he listen?

nope

People would be better off driving with both feet. Look at how many stupid fuckers drive into buildings and crash. They all say I meant to hit the brakes but hit the gas instead. If one foot was used for the brakes and the other for the gas the reaction of hitting the brakes would fall upon the foot that always hits the brakes not the one that hits the gas.

My friend

i'm a sim junkie a you know...been round the ring a trillion times....and i wouldn;t go near the real thing. Furthermore had i talked over you with my "rimmer's risk stories" of combat on a PS2 LOL (yeah, lot of REALLY accurate sims on that)....rather than perhaps sit their wide eyed and listen to your REAL tale of glory, perhaps with the odd pertinent question like "does a road car get airborn a flugplatz"..."what's that big compression like when you finally reach the bottom of the valley after the tight right that exits under a bridge (sorry name missing from brain record)"...I would not only have forgiven but positively expected your forehead and my nose to meet like twat meets Armco round that place.

Because of all the hours I've logged on sims and arcade games, I'm a dead man in a 3 pedal car (part of the reason I favour "smart manual" boxen.)

However even among the very bset drivers there is still a little debate, tho it would seem to stem mainly from a re-learning thing with drivers raised on 3 pedals.

Manual for me. All my cars was manual.

Driven some automatic cars though, but it was boring.

manual transmission is more challenging! and it doesnt consume as much gas as automatic does,thats what my mechanic says anyways......auto/manual,as long as i have a car,its not an issue for me...

Manual, Automatic's are for people who can't pass their driving test
