Cali Gal 1 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 If women ruled the world? We do love, we just let you guys think you're in charge... Speaking of cars, I got a new one, it's a little white one and I don't even have to take my keys out of my purse to start it, which means less chance of locking my keys in the car!

mick2me 3,033 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Thats typical Elaine? If you ask a woman what type of car she has, she says "a white one" A couple of years ago, a friend of mine asked me to visit his address and discuss the benefits of the net, so she would allow him to have a desktop or laptop. Her first question was, "what colour will it be?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bazza 71 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Cali. Very impressive specs for your new car but you still didn't tell us the actual make of said vehicle. Is the make"A little white one"????LOL Baz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cali Gal 1 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Actually, in that photo, it is sort of white...Ivory Pearl to be exact, but I agree it does look to be silver. It's an Infiniti M35. Have you heard of it? I don't know if you have them in Australia, Dennis said they don't have them in England. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tutanic 8 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Don't know about that but the writing on the wall is brilliant, I wish I could do that... A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cali Gal 1 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Looks like a Buick or Oldsmobile to me. Actually Baz, Infiniti is the make, the model is M35. I believe Infiniti is the luxury make owned by Nissan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bazza 71 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Ahhh!!! Gorrit now. I've had a few Nissans over the years.All very good cars,but,the best of the lot was my Skyline 3.0 turbo. Now that was a car with POWER.!!! Baz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,187 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 1 hour ago, LizzieM said: What’s a clutch? I’ve driven autos for as long as I can remember but when I took my wife’s previous car in for a service last October I was lent a manual courtesy car. I was surprised how nice manual gearboxes are these days with smooth positive changes just like a hot knife through butter! I still wouldn’t have one though as I cannot see the point when autos are so relaxing to drive and you can still use the flappy paddles for steep hill descent and for more spirited driving. I have now to consider whether I would drive an electric car. Ultimately there will possibly be no alternative but even electric vehicles leave a carbon footprint somewhere in their power generation and they are more expensive to buy in comparison with conventionals.

MargieH 7,613 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 A clutch is a desperate grab which doesn't get you anywhere as in "clutching at straws". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 When I was a driving instructor I had a very nice 54 years old lady who'd failed 5 tests. I took her out for 5 lessons in her hubby's automatic Merc & she passed, she nearly crushed me to death with her ecstatic hugs, she was one happy lady.... I've been driving auto's since 2010, I'm a bit lazy now, lol... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hard to find a manual here, now. I was opposed to them when I first moved to Canada after years of manual shifts in Nottingham. A year or two of driving slush boxes soon changed my mind. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,514 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Other than rental cars when we’ve been overseas I haven’t driven a car with manual gearbox for over 30 years but I don’t consider it lazy at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Exactly, it's purely down to personal preference. I've only ever had one automatic, and that was a Triumph 2000 estate. Absolutely superb at towing my caravan ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 My Volvo D60 is manual. I have driven an automatic and hated it. I also hate cruise control because I like to be in control. I drive the car, it does not drive me. I love driving my Volvo and I also loved driving a Peugeot Boxer van when we hired one. I am a little puzzled as to why we have a thread about women drivers that started in 2009 with nothing in the first post. Women are people and they drive. This is the 21st century. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I like cruise control too. If you are going to drive 500 miles a day on the freeways it is very nice. I guess I need one of those self driving cars. Only problem is I could probably still lose it in Wal- marts parking lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
