More exspensive tyres if you play with the load pedal too much,

It's a bad habbit yo adopt.  I was taught the right foot id to stop or go, and the other is for changing gear if there is a clutch pedal.

"Two footing" takes some practice but soon becomes second nature - and very handy when your ISCV plays up..

I've always been very against autos, nasty jurky things, with no 'proper' control.

Then one of my  friends pointed out that every auto I'd driven was an old small engined thing ie a 1.3 escort auto, a older renaut megan senic (that really was horrible!! :exclamation )

So I had a go in his BM 535i and I alson drove a merc and like em so when I was lookin for a mig I thought why not! I havnt regretted it yet!!!!! ;D ;)
