Cruise control

[Nabsim]

Just ignore the "unnecessarily changing gear" abd think "continually kicking in and out"..
As you may perceive, for me, similar comments re an automatic gearbox. Again I have used and realise you can maintain a given gear in say hilly situations. A great idea for anyone with a muscle problem (or more) in their left leg.

That’s a very good point re automatics, I only ever have manual gearbox on motorbikes, anything else I have always had automatics so my experience may be totally different to someone with a manual gearbox, no idea how cc works with them

CC with an auto box just means the box changes up or down if needed as the CC tries to maintain the set speed...

What is involved with fitting? I have a 07 Fiat Ducato.

Elastic on Y fronts too tight.

This is a true story!

I had minor knee surgery that involved a general anesthetic and was allowed home after a couple of hours.

I was warned that the anesthetic would hang around for a few hours, so no driving.

I got home and after an hour or so I noticed a dull ache in my knee and another in my left testicle.

After three or four hours the ache in my knee had improved slightly, but the other pain seemed to be worse!

So I decided to go to the bathroom and check things out.

Horror !
When I got dressed to leave the hospital I had trapped the testicle in the leg elastic on my underpants and effectively cut off the blood supply. I hadn't noticed because I was still drowsy from the anesthetic!

This vital part has been denied blood for over 6 hours.

Worse was to follow. After 6 hours the reintroduction of blood was even more painful.

If a guy tells me that he is about to undergo an operation I always recommend he wears boxers.

I find it hard to believe that most men wouldn't have checked their tackle more frequently than that if only to ensure it was still there or to adjust.

Maybe it’s me and the times we travel but I struggle to use cruise control in the U.K. unless I’m content to crawl along in the lorry lane (which I am not!).

What bugs me off on U.K. roads are those cars that overtake in the motorway outside lane and then pull over in front and then slow down. It’s as if they want to annoy cruise control users.

Different story in France and Spain though where it is used for hours at a time.

Useful to have though.

I agree that cruise control is not much use in this country. However with all the road works and speed restrictions on our roads, almost all of the time, the speed limiter is a great help.

I have diabetes foot issues and this last trip really was quite painful, being able to put my right foot flat on the floor would have made a real difference to me, it's taken it the best part of a week for it to settle down.
