Getting an Auto out of a dodgy driveway in the country can be fun. Especially if it's long, dirt and a little wet. You have no choice but to get a run-up and floor it through the entire driveway, otherwise you won't make it out.sonyaleeisapixi said:Sam situation with me, mum after 30 years of driving manual bought an auto the year I got my Ls. As I said in the other thread, my boyfriend basically taught me to drive in his little Lazer which was a manual.
Hahaha. I have the same problem getting out of our (dodgy) driveway at my place when I nick mums car when Im low on petrol.
Hahaha, so true.AusBluesMan said:Getting an Auto out of a dodgy driveway in the country can be fun. Especially if it's long, dirt and a little wet. You have no choice but to get a run-up and floor it through the entire driveway, otherwise you won't make it out.
Gives you some valuable rally-style driving skills, lol.

Haha, I went out to Pumpenbill (May just add that to my thread), never been out there before, and the girl in the back goes, "careful here, road turns to dirt. When it turns to dirt, floor it cause you need a run up for this hill". I do as she says, she didn't tell me that the change to dirt had a rather large hump (I'm in a low-ish car). That freaked me when I saw it. Then... She drives a little 4 cylinder put-put car, so yeah, the hill is rather large, but my car is a 6... I didn't know the road, so I assumed the hill continued over the top.sonyaleeisapixi said:Hahaha, so true.
Mines even worse because its curved and on a slope
So, your run up has to be huge otherwise you get half way and spin out.
