Jump off my storm, get in to the leather seated, heated, cosy, cosseted ambience of my car where i'm not freezing my nuts off......there's a round thing in front of me, I change with a stick, flick the wipers when there's drizzle on my screen instead of clearing it with my thumb and stick on some Jeremy Vine on the wireless......nah, it never confuses me :roll: :lol:

something a little different I find between a handle bar and a steering wheel, that kind of makes ME realise.

Don't have a problem. Hope you're not a pilot, that would make for an interesting drive/ride home!

Then again my Civic 2.2 Diesel remapped to 204BHP overtakes quite nicely too - just need a bigger gap :lol:

I used to be a nightmare, my wife was allways having to remind me what I was driving. I could go weeks when I only drove the fire truck or road the Storm. I'd get in the car and give her and the kids a complete white knuckle ride. I even followed another emergency vehicle up the road thinking I was in the fire truck, the only thing that stopped me plowing through the red traffic light behind it was my wife screeming from the pasenger seat YOU'RE NOT AT WORK. 8O
