westy 614 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 People who list SMG, DSG, ETC or what ever other transmissions on Trade-Me as Manual. Rant marked 1/10. Lack of extreme hyperbole, absence of excessive swearing and proper spelling all counted against. You also left out 'dont you know who I am'. 16 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 I agree with Westy, if you want to see a proper rant find one of 3pedals posts about automatic gearboxes. And, sorry, but SMG = Sequential Manual Gearbox, emphasis being on the MANUAL part of the words 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan 338 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 People who park next to you when there are plenty of free spaces that aren't immediately beside me. People who park too far away from the fuel pump so that a second car can't get in. People who don't indicate at roundabouts (Euros at Ayr St./Shore Rd. Intersection this means you!) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boowhup 26 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 I agree with Westy, if you want to see a proper rant find one of 3pedals posts about automatic gearboxes. And, sorry, but SMG = Sequential Manual Gearbox, emphasis being on the MANUAL part of the words If there was emphasis it would be written SMG. Although I think SMG is cool, It's automating the process for you, so imo not manual. But thats just my interpretaion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 1060 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 people who take forever to order their food and hold up others This happens to me at McDonalds. I've all the time in the world to decide while waiting in line and then I get to the counter and panic and order the same thing as always. I'm not ready for this type of responsibility. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 I have the sprintshift in the Merc MH which is a manual gearbox controlled by a computer and the clutch working off hydraulics. It can drive in Auto & Manual. The MH weighs in at over 3 tons and changing gears manualy and having engine braking makes driving it a dream. The 2.2 TDI engine has a sh*t load of grunt which combined with the trans makes it a pleasure to drive long distances. I must also add.... I don't hold up traffic 100kph full time no problems just need to slow down in the twisties as you would in a car. I can also run at about 15-20 kph over the recommended speeds indicated on road signs. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
