Auto > manual

Sure manual you are in more control more "driving" but autos are quicker that's the facts

[Sunkist]

Mate just got a major defect pulling out of the panel shop. Didn't directly take a speed, and was going over it on angle and the cops pulled him up about 10 seconds later.

Got done for being too low, tint, walls, bump stops and tyre placard. Merry Christmas.

walls, bumpstops?

Sounds like a supercharged v8

Pretty loud for a stock exhaust, I'll probably just leave it and get tune only

Xr6 turbos are nice as well, but GS is the way to go if you want to spend 1500 and get some huge powahh, plus sound cooler

Not just the quickness, but yea want to keep the car for ages and will be working in the city soon - not to mention people already replacing stock clutches in the manuals

People might say auto is gay, but when you drive a ZF auto they are pretty awesome

[R-SPEC]

Yes auto is crap which is why it's used in most of the latest top end sports/supercars because ofcourse it's gay and a waste of time.

what would the best engineers in the world know anyway...

No but it was pretty funny

[dezz]

Yeah you're a flog mohsen, no ones impressed that you get kicked out, you sound like a 14 year old delinquent.

Leigh, did you have any riding experience before you got your l's?

[Birds]

With Alex on this one. People use getting kicked out of places as bragging rights these days...so they do stupid shit to make it happen...sounds like something worth encouraging?

Not really. Some autos are f**king shit. Like the one in the bf xr6 310kw version. I changed gears around same time as him and lost no ground what so ever.

[Mohsen]

Lol we didn't really do anything.

Insert "okay" meme here lol.

[Mohsen]

And I spotted a Delorean last night. So. Fkn. Cool

Exactly

Yep much better for cruising / daily, if I were drifting it I'd get a manual but I'm not.. well not intentionally

Leigh, did you have any riding experience before you got your l's?

I rode dirt bikes from a young age (pee-wee 50 types), started off small and ended up with a 150 which I sold at 16 - rode only once every month or 2 so not too much.

Got my Ls on the 1 day course, they expect you to know how to ride and basic controls. That being said I hadn't sat on a bike for about 5 years still passed fairly easily, you'll be fine. If you're worried just do the 2 day course, seriously though don't stress its easy.

As for on the road, a bit weird at first.. just doing 80 or 100 seems like your flying. I just took it easy, didn't weave or go to the front of the lights at first. After a few months you get more comfortable, still I always wear gear and don't try to be a hero. Good fun though. Do it!
