Same old, same old!!!! Do you notice though it's always the Manual boys starting these threads, never the other way round. Us Mighty auto boys have nothing to prove, that's why!!!
Mec even claims that he drove it in traffic for 6 hours and it didn't effect his knee in any way!!! But what he didn't tell you is it's made him Impotent. Gem told me last time at Eurotec he has to use 2 lolly sticks and an elastic band now as a splint. It has it's long term effects!!!

My car has a mysterious third pedal?
A friend was recently driving my car and pointed out that it has three pedals.

This leaves me immensely confused. I know that there's the accelerator pedal on the right and the clutch on the left, but upon further inspection it appears that there is a third pedal in the middle between the accelerator and the clutch.

What is it for? What does it do? How do you use it?



Apparently looking at the Delorean manual, that's called the break pedal. If you operate it your car breaks down and your friends have to push you.

Or you can be like Jay and call the AA. Apparently he has used them that often, he has such a good rapport with all the breakdown recovery guys, he knows them all by first name.

Don't get confused though between breaking down and the mighty auto. The reason why the car breaks down so much is down to poor maintenance and bad mechanical expertise. The mighty auto makes up for all this with its sheer awesomeness. I have had to join the RAC now as I wore out my welcome with the AA. Usually I like to belong to two recovery services, one to get me to my destination, and one to get me home, so I'm going to give Green flag a try
