DRIVING

I'm learning Automatic and I have found that a lot more easier to digest and not be overwhelmed compared to when I was learning on manual.

In a few years, all cars will be electric - so automatic.     Manual is only useful for high performance cars

I do hope so. Liberty, here I come! 

As you can imagine, I've had a lot of cars....shortest period was only 3-months - I bought a bargain MGBGT on a whim - what a POS - like driving a tractor - made good profit on that.      Similarly with my X1/9 - 4 months.    I've had many multiples of some cars - lots of Astras, Escorts, Vectras, Omegas, Senators, BMWs etc. - easy to buy, easy to sell.

Now the admiration goes the other way... :c)

I'm really into cars - I know exactly what I'm looking at when buying so I tend to buy low, drive for 6-months and then sell for profit -  zero maintenance costs for 30 years -  I've only ever changed 2 sets of brake pads - rarely ever service a car - only fitted one exhaust part and 4 tyres - I let other people pick up those tabs before and after me.  

I had a Ibiza Cupra with an odd fault caused by a dodgy fusebox - tricky to find without my ODB scanner.

The XJ40 was when they finally sorted the rear suspension and braking setup -  miles better than the XJ6-derived systems and worth money on the spares market..
