We went for ice cream In never Ripley this afternoon, as we walked back to the car, there was a 40 something lady taking pics of the car and video. I stopped so she could finish. Then said, you can have a sit in it if you want, she said, omg, it’s yours, how embarrassing( for her).... beautiful car.....
Happy to get that type of reaction.....

My favourite was in France. At a service station a family was getting out of their 4x4 in the space next to my car. I started it up and the mother screamed in shock.....her kids loved that...

I tried driving an auto with two feet once, was a lurching, stopping, lurching disaster.

on DS it gives a blurt on the throttle on start anyway, at least mine does...

Yep left foot braking is an acquired taste.

You could fully depress both pedals on start up to see what it sounds like.

I spent much of the mid 70s been driven around in the back of a Hillman Hunter. We used to take it down to northern Italy in the summer hols and my little legs could hardly be removed from the vinyl seats in the heat.....would be banned now.

Saw a horrific accident in that car, Lymm junction M6, woman in a Volvo, tanker crossed carriage way head on. She was lying in back seat no doubt propelled there, rear door open leg hanging out, blood and guts everywhere, first dead person I ever saw...

what age was I? 1991, 30....
