My rant, why is when I'm in the Maser people feel the need to race? M61, Asian kid draws up to side of me dead level, in a Focus with all sorts of go-faster stuff on, then accelerates off, dump valve popping, I mean why? Today I was in Woodlesford Leeds, carefully driving over full width speed bumps cos I don't to knacker my suspension, some tw@t in Golf decides to overtake and great speed, car bouncing like feck. Presumably so they can tell their mate they burnt-off a Maserati....
And, sat as passenger in Mrs' car, it's hot cos she has the heater on all the time, I complain, she's says it's not on at all, pointing to the fan speed knob. Yet again I try to explain how it works, that's not the heater, that's throughput, if it's turned to red, it's heating. So I open the window, she doesn't;t like the wind roar, I turn the a/c on, that costs petrol....
Grrrrrr!!!
Tell you what I did today that scared the pants off me, took off from the lights in manual, bit of pedal to get past a car in left lane, flicked up to second, and for some reason flicked down to first, feck me it leap away, screaming revs, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, brill!! I'm not one to bang the revs on, so I've never really heard it full pelt. Seems fine though, presumably it wouldn't let me make the downshift if it wasn't in the parameter....
Wanna do it again now...
