I've obviously disturbed a hornet's nest.
I'll keep my ignorant comments to myself. :(

Just write them all down, then at the end of the year you can post them all up in a "What Pushki thought" thread ;-)

I not out to offend you either, and my last comment was very much tongue in cheek to prove a point, hence the ;)
I'm just saying, have a look at what it is and when it is used, before shooting me down for it.

It would be a huge list.
Most of my thoughts I keep to myself. I really don't like to offend, but some of the stuff......... :zip:

Love that Senna video, heel &toe in loafers 8)

I used to be able to heel toe in the Punto but then if I really wanted to I could press all pedals at once with one foot, they were stupidly close together. Can't do it in the Lude, too far apart

italian cars are made for heel and toeing and double clutching lol all the pedals are offset and close together making it curious to drive normally ie not heel and toeing but starts to make sense when your heel and toeing.

I do it the Prelude but not in the van unless downshifting. Uses more fuel.
