It has paddle gear changers on the steering wheel and you can also use the gear lever in "tiptronic" mode to flick it up and down gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, I see, very swish. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford a sports car myself. Probably not like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Delighted. Just discovered the BBC iPlayer radio app and its a gorgeously designed bit of highly functional and well stocked futuristic style genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 8157 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Does anyone ever feel like their family is cursed? Like you don't have more than a couple months of stress free living before something else shit comes along and stresses everyone out again for a few months?

Kid Dynamite 8157 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Nothing I can put on here really but adds to a long line of family deaths, cancer scares, relationship break ups etc. Easily the worst 2 years my family has seen and it doesn't seem to be getting better anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 8157 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Cheers, as daft as it sounds I've had a pretty privileged first 28 years of life with very little stress. This real life shit isn't much fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11667 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Sorry for your troubles J69, hope they're sorted. Personally, I'm feeling let down, I'd hoped a friend would help me out with some translating, but he's being a prick and scooting off to some Eurovision event instead... what a prick. I'm also sun burnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
