The ‘collision warning’ (or, as I called it, the ‘Exploding clown car’) symbol and I were old friends in the Golf. Triggered by bridges, 90 degree bends in country roads, and cars on the other side of the road perfectly safely over-taking another car about half a mile ahead. However, not triggered by the car directly in front of me that suddenly decided it wanted to turn right. I had to prevent that collision all by myself. Just as drivers have been doing for the last 100 years . . . 😀
Turns out my car does have the ‘Sport mode’ after all. Played with it yesterday on the way down to Hayling Island and it ‘does take the elephant off the bonnet’ acceleration-wise. I’ll probably drive in ‘Normal’ most of the time and keep Sport for special occasions – such as the A272 east-bound.
Tharg – the piccies are taken. I’m just waiting on his nibs taking them off the ‘phone, do the important ‘removal of personal details’ stuff, and showing me how to add them to the message.
