Re: Complete idiot.
A colleague couldn't find some newly ordered parts in a room, a second colleague told him that they were there as he had placed them there. First colleague swore that he could not find them when he looked. Second colleague then asked him if he did 'a woman's search or a man's search!'.
I later carried out the search with my first colleague and found them straight away. First colleague duly embarrassed.
That is a 'Pet' hate of mine!!!..............Just asking for trouble if it is a shared car.My daugher's boyfriend, aged 19 leaves his car in gear when parked up - who does that?
Always do that if on a hill of any kind. And if I remember back to 1989 the driving lesson included always ensure neutral is selected before starting. Nowadays they won't start unless the clutch is depressed so not too much trouble should ensue.That is a 'Pet' hate of mine!!!..............Just asking for trouble if it is a shared car.
He even puts the steering lock on, it's a drama getting it started! It's actually my daughters car not his!That is a 'Pet' hate of mine!!!..............Just asking for trouble if it is a shared car.

Driving the QP DS I forget about the clutch pedal! And I'm feeling round the back of the steering wheel for paddles and there arent any......I was always taught to depress the clutch when starting a car anyway.... (3200 excluded!)

And me... esp with a Maserati handbrake!Me for a start, that's how we were taught. Was reminded of it when my son was nearly run over by an empty car in Edinburgh that was only held on the handbrake....or not.

I always 'wobble' the gear stick from left to right before starting, don't know if I was taught that or if I just like wobbling knobs??!!I was always taught to depress the clutch when starting a car anyway.... (3200 excluded!)

I can remember in a few of my fathers Saab's you had to put the car into reverse before you could release the ignition key...........But, we are talking about Saab, they were as mad as a box of Frogs!Certainly left the CC in 1. In fact it would beep if you didn't. The GT / ZF clearly wasn't an issue.
