belfastguzzi Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Have you ever wrapped your thumb around the spoke of a steering wheel, down at the boss, and then trapped it against the indicator stalks or whatever gubbins protrudes from the steering column, as you turn a corner? You can't get your thumb out, 'cos you've got to keep turning the car to keep it on the road, but you can't turn the car because your thumb is jammed in the steering wheel... Or you've got feet like Martin and you stand on the brake pedal, but half your boot is pushing the accelerator pedal down too – possibly while you're wrestling with the steering wheel to turn the car but it's going straight for the wall 'cos you're all jammed up in everything???? and an apple has probably fallen off the seat and rolled under the brake pedal anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not mutually exclusive options. You CAN do both, if you've got a suitable vehicle. I tried the thumb shear on a VW Polo today, but there was no way – modern cars have had all the fun removed from them. It works perfectly on an older Land Rover (Defender type) where there is a built in guillotine to trap fingers/thumb and scissor them off. For modern cars, your technique is the best. It's no wonder that steering wheels on motorbikes never caught on. The accident rate must have been pretty high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big J Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 They were reading a thread on a website about aftermarket ecu's being fitted to V11's and simply lost the will to live after page 18. Staff at the local hospital were able to revive them,but they're confined to wheelchairs so they cant reach the keyboard until full psychological therapy has taken place. The host was laughing cos he's got an order in for a Breva,nervous hysteria got the better of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
