Paddle shifters

Thanks.....never lived with either, but that's what I'd have imagined.

Have you got these ones in the Scuderia SD?

The guys with these long ones swear by them.

I put the 430 Challenge version in mine. Looks the same as those sans the stupid red colour.

 

WTF are those red things,handle bars?
or post box extensions.

 

Monkey bars.

 

That's them alright.

Those paticular ones were powder coated red. Matched the race harnesses and other bits of red trim inside the car apparently.

 

could they be used as a sex aid?

 

Why, do you need help?

And NO, that is NOT an offer.

 

I reckon it is

 

Love connections being made on the chatline.

 

It's how we met!

 

You never call, you never write.

 

I do...You just don't answer because I borrow Moretti's phone.

 

when doing race stuff with the 360ch the fixed paddles are great.......gear is selected before the corner then turn wheel


but what would I know

 

having a road registered one does count.
Why are there not more GT3's racing in the S/A State series.

 

cos they hate to be found out about their driving and won't do it on a track cos then they can't lie to the insurance company

 

prefer illegal road racing, then bosting on AE,the drunks forum?

 

The trick is not to. Takes skill.you wouldn't understand.

 

I never miss a gear,unless your foots in the way.

 

How many schools?

 

Driving schools? Quite a few. Failed them all though.

 

i crashed and burned.

 

since Bobby invited me, I'll add my 2c.

Manual change in Golf is a delight. Automatic hill hold function, a light clutch and slick change action make traffic driving a breeze. I tried a DSG, didn't like it at all. The 458 DSG is very good however and I would happily have one.

Driving back and forth in the Golf to EC on the weekend, at 80kmh in 6th I was using 4.6 litres/100km. Average around town consumption, without any effort at economy is 6.9

Paddle shifts were developed for F1 because its easy to miss a shift in a (no-syncro) racing dog-box. Putting them in road cars is just marketing, they have little in common with an actual F1 box, which is a sequential (like a motorbike) single clutch robotised manual.
