Driving Shoes

More rather felt them on spa night.

 

Phil always drives bare footed, funny for a bike guy.

Not to mention extending clutch life - last review 2020 showed 60% wear on clutch that is a long way from new.

 

I can't believe anyone on here driving an older classic car out on the open road, especially when driving spiritedly, doesn't heel & toe so as to match revs under brakes on the downshifts especially when you get into the lower gears.

 

I double clutch.

 

So even if you double clutch, as I do, you don't match revs as well by H&T when revs are high.

 

Ditto, but not in the Datto.

Without touching the brakes? Oristhis just a confusion of terms: to me, ‘double clutch’ and ‘heel &toe’ are the same thing, although there is the occassional time when no brake is needed, that’s not the norm, for me anyway.

 

Fixed

 

Well, you can double de-clutch without touching the brakes, but that path leads to madness. Heel-and-toe braking allows you to do both. Gears are for going faster, brakes are for slowing down. The only reason you heel-and-toe is so that you're in the correct gear for the speed you're at when you've finished braking. Simple, huh?

Not in car without synchros you can’t (I learned to drive in my 500). It’s also helpful when your clutch cable breaks...

 

LOL - you’re gunna luv this - when I clicked on that link it took me TopgearItalia - lead story: changing the batteries in your Evehicle!

 

TLDR

 

True

 

Well, it helps if you double going up and down in a Bambino.

 

Which of course I do!

 

1. Riomar Deck Drivers - squeeze the foot nicely. No rubber bits on the outside to get hung on pedals. Don't look douchey. (Run 1/2 size big)

If you wore those in Australia you would be a certified knob

 

The price equates to around 20 dinners at a SC- Surf Club (steak, unlimited accress to the salad bar, and dessert table, a pot of XXXX beer and to finish a "Cap coffee and biscotti) Can't see any SC members on here buying them ......

 

When I save up some money I’ll buy these things (actually I’ve never saved anything ever so I’ll wait for someone to buy me them as usual [emoji16]
