Nice to see her driving a vintage model: Heidi Klum in a sweet Ferrari
yep - 328; http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/04/19/10/3F5D5BA900000578-4424476-image-a-45_1492595651449.jpg
Maybe she likes the headlights on to be more noticable. https://media.giphy.com/media/sT7D8bJEiH1D2/giphy.gif
Great to see stars like that driving manual shift cars. (Sad to see how they are stocked by commercial photographers.)
Well, anyone in Europe can drive a manual shift car, you know...we learn on manuals, and we drive mostly manuals (I would be absolutely unable to drive an automatic trans myself...) Rgds
Looking good in black at her age ..and Heidi also not so bad either.Flavio had a penchant for super models in the day.
He still has, but...time waits for no-one. I just had a look in my garage, as I do have a black 328GTS. The car is still there, and Heidi is not at the wheel. Ah well... Rgds
At least I can quickly accustom to an automatic trans car. Always telling myself, that my left leg has to rest now. Only once I slammed onto the brake pedal when trying to press the clutch. Luckily without someone being behind me. Much more difficult for me is shifting in a RHD car. Renting a manual trans car in the UK, driving left-hand traffic is still a big challenge for me. So I prefer automatic rental cars in the UK. Best Regards Martin
I have been driving RHD cars here in the US for years. Never had a problem. Only noticed it when you go to change gear and end up with the window winder... but back to Heidi. Must say the lady has good taste, in cars, color and...guy's?
I also follow BMW quite closely. Interestingly, BMW claims that European enthusiasts have no interest in manual shift sports cars and that it is only we Americans who are crazy for our manual shift M3s. BMW Corp tells us the world has changed and we should just "get over it". Personally, I have been surprised at how easy I have found shifting with my left hand. ... Navigating clockwise roundabouts however, well, that I find absolutely terrifying, as I do driving those narrow two-way rural laneways which inevitably have a stone wall inches from the side of the road.
try to brake with your left foot ... just like in carting very challenging in the beginning but incredibly surprising how fast you can school your skills with practise and routine Ha! Mark, had the chance to practise this technique during my recent 4-months-stay in the austrian alps - meanwhile I developed a really sensible feeling in my left foot ! good practise while driving (and sliding) automatic AWD cars up and down snow covered and traffic free serpentines all day long .
Mark and Michael, your suggestion with left foot braking makes repeated swapping auto and manual cars even more problematic. I have a relative with a right knee implant and she drives an automatic car with left foot braking since ten years but never got accustomed to manual trans style again. I don't know whether there are still automatic lessons during driving school, but when I got my license in 1981 we still learned driving automatic cars. And learned, that the left foot has to rest. Best Regards Martin
"your suggestion with left foot braking makes repeated swapping auto and manual cars even more problematic."...I agree...stick to your right foot for brake and accelerator to keep it consistent. I always own both Automatic and Manual cars at the same time and I would never switch to left foot braking...doesn't make sense for street driving. By the way, good for Heidi to drive a 328....wonder if she has power steering added to hers?
