Done that one a few times too. Hope yours has the 4000 Rpm limit in neutral like mine did. Makes you feel as dim-witted as the box

Also, and I'm not sure if I am imagining this (as it's 18 months since I sold mine and the old grey matter ain't what it used to be) :
You're in D, use the paddles for temporary Manual mode, pull and hold the upshift paddle to go back to D without having to wait for the box to do it for you. I stand waiting to be corrected

Yes, thank gawd it does... And agree, completely spannered it in Abergavenny after 2 hours of Welsh B and A road manual work, then popped into D for a long standing tailback through the high street. Got ‘flashed’ by a bus to pass a parked van, paddled to manual, accelerated, twisting the steering so (from previous cock ups in manual whilst wheel twirling) banged it up using the stick..... Mistake..... Neutral....

Absolument - mon Brave! The road from Tal-y-bont over Nant-y-moch dam and down to Ponterwyd is being used as Stage 2 & 6 on the Rali Bae Ceredigion next month; first all closed roads stage rally in Wales. I am doing the "card collect" PC after those stages with a couple of friends to help out our mates at Teify Valley Motor Club who run the Myherin stage on WRGB. My club has done the stage finish control on WRGB with TVMC for the last 15 years at least. |

This section near Bwlch Glas mine isn’t somewhere you’d want to drop off the edge. Whilst not sheer, you’d roll many many times before the bottom...

Here am I, slaving away typing up this dross in the vain hope it keeps you entertained in the shires and all you can do is take the pi$$ .
As one great luminary that used to be on the quattroforum used to say... Why do I bother?
