No, the old ones used to just jump from one gear to the next.* My Gol= f (1998) Umm yes, "jumping from one gear to the next" is generally how old styl= e auto boxes worked. They generally don't go straight from 1st to 5th. With a torque convertor, there is no jumping.* It's like a manual gearbo= x with a lot of clutch slippage. Rubbish. It depends how its built. You can have very slippy fluid couplings and you can have ones that feel like there's a solid connection. I guess Rover made theirs ****. My VW, Honda, and Range Rover could often change gear with the only way I could tell being the rev counter and the engine pitch.* I was physically not jerked at all. The heaps of crap you drive might only manage 250, probably because yo= u nail the throttle until you hit its top speed of 85mph, but most modern car= s will get 400 out of the tank at motorway speeds. Define "motorway speed".* I do 100. Nuff said. So you're one of those retards with the slow brains that grind the country to a halt.* Just get out of my way. Have a look around you, how many cars are electric (and don't include hy= brids).* Here I'd say it was 1 in 300 at the most.* They cost more to bu= y, you have a huge =A35000 cost when the battery needs replacing every 5= years, there are **** all places to charge them, and it takes forever t= o fill them up.* They just aren't yet a viable means of transport. Not yet, but go back to 1819 and try to fill up a petrol or diesel car. Coal from the local railway wouldn't do you much good. I'll get an electric car when it will travel as far as a petrol car, costs me no more to run, and will fill up as fast. In the future I daresay you will not be given the choice. -- Xeno Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing. (with apologies to Ralph Waldo Emerson) |
