Auto or Manual

Auto for me, today i broke my ankle and was still able to drive myself to and from the hospital being an auto :D:D:D:D

cool huh

oh yeah, i wont be driving her for a while now

I presume it was your left ankle that was toast?

I was explaining to my bro why left foot braking is so difficult, he didn't belive me so we took his BMW to a carpark for him to experiance it first hand. I told him to try and stop the car gently from 10mph- I put my seatbelt on and he said "steady on Gaz - it ain't Daytona speedway!". Just you wait.

STOMP! My little bro simply collapses into the steeringwheel!

"ok, you're right."

yup, tried that myself too

LOL i can just see that lmfao

yeah me leftone, BUT i can drive with my left one too (when not broken) you do get bored when all you drive is an auto, you have to learn how to do these things

What did you do to break your ankle then ?

I drive an auto due to the fact that my left leg is a false one so can't drive manuals. No clutch control you see.....

I think i might swap my Manual for an auto as it is putting stress on my dodgy back reaching for the clutch during town driving

I it is putting stress on my dodgy back reaching for the clutch:(

mate your doing it all wrong your meant to push your foot down on it....not your hand

mate your doing it all wrong your meant to push your foot down on it....not your hand

So thats how its supposed to be done

When I broke my two I drove to and from hospital. I also think that it's really hard to brake with your left foot. You could probably learn to be gentle though.

colsoop ill swap with ya

i went far to fast down a step, was a 40 limit, i over steared and hit the central reservation (tripped on a step and hit a garden fence)

lol

Yeah I bet you would swap a Na Auto for a TT6

Ian Xactly

Yeah I bet you would swap a Na Auto for a TT6

yeah lol I bet, but only when his ankle has mended

not that i can drive it at the moment tho lol

mind you i would have a bloody good try :D:D

anyway, you dont ask you dont get !!!! lol

Any chance i could borrow your spare leg sometime,at least i could impress the missus and look like a real man for a change.

BTW

after i broke my ankle/foot i carried a toy car and bike to the front garden, washed and polished me soop with autoglym only then did i drive myself to hopital

Lol, sure thing, Im sure I've got an old one laying about somewhere if you wanna pay postage for something that's about a stone n 1/2 in weight on its own.

Something I love doing being a Blue Badge Holder is parking it in the disabled spaces and watching the peoples faces as I get out of the car (leg being false isn't really that noticable, just ask Marc aka dangerous reptile.. lol).

One time I parked in a disabled space and this old man came up to me and offered me his walking stick and said, wanna take this as well. I clearly pointed out there was a blue badge in the car to which he just sneered at me, so I whacked my fist against my leg (top half is fibre-glass) so i knocked and he proceeded to apologise and shake my hand...

Thinking back I should have taken the walking stick.

Funny as fuck, but you have to understand why some people are dubious......especially with a nice car, and as people do abuse the right to park there, so they probably put you in the same catchment

There is a yellow Supra in B/Stoke thats always parked in a disabled spot in town sporting their own disabled badge, and I do joke with friends about it, but is only in jest.....

Ha, ha thats funny, reminds me when I first tried using my left to brake, funny how the left foot hasnt got as much finesse as the right. Now I tend to sometimes drive around using my left to brake where I can, it just gives your foot some memory on how hard to press and can now squeeze the peddle as gently with my right, albeit with a little more thought involved...
