SteersWithThrottle Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 14 hours ago, New POD said: You haven't driven the right one, far enough. If you want me to demonstrate the use of an autobox that suits the car, let me know. I'll let you press the button on top of the gear stick. Maybe so, only one I've driven is a 69 plate Merc E class with the 7 speed box. Didn't like it, didn't see the point, as my left leg works perfectly well, and my brain can choose the correct gear at least as well, and probably change more smoothly if not as fast. Automatic handbrakes are the spawn of the devil also, it's the one thing I hate about my Insignia, and will likely lead to me selling it earlier than I otherwise might have.

That needs respraying in bathtub blue, and a numberplate reading "CI 15", for that whole Father Ted vibe. Seller seems to be in Clare, so that's even more serendipitous.

Since it's listed as a Fiat Uno I'd guess that's what it's based off? I guess things like those will find their own price but £5000 seems like about £3000 too much to me, it's not even an 'iconic' kit car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story goes that it was driven on trade plates for six years - back when one could get away with such carry on of course - and registered when the new plate system was introduced.

She had some issues* with her arm and shoulder, which caused her excessive pain when using the hand brake and changing gear, such that she could no longer drive. * Calcific growth on the shoulder joint causing the nerves and muscles to be inflamed- sorted now..

I'm fine with the electric hand brake and hill hold, hill start function. You've a legitimate use case there, can't argue with that. Nevertheless, it's one more thing to go wrong, and it just so slow to use I find it frustrating. Yes, I know I can just set off and it releases automatically, but I prefer to release it myself, to minimise wear and tear on the clutch and brake mechanisms and friction parts.
