I’m driving Yvette super carefully.

What the fuck is a”top”

I fear I know….
Something visible a lady wears over her bra

So now home and broke but we seriously enjoyed today.  Didn't realise how much this driving licence shenanigans was winding me up until today.

9 times out of 10 really annoying, mine has just started working again now I have a new battery.  I can turn it off but then it doesn't do the auto coasting which I really like.

KIA-Ora would go months without working and then suddenly stop the engine when all 50,000 conditions had been met... ::)

KIA-Ora 2 and 3 have been much more consistent and switch off most of the time when stopped... I quite like the silence but it often starts the engine again before pulling away to keep the Climate Control working...

Coasting is called 'Sailing' on the KIA and it is really cool IMHO...

The AMG calls it sailing as well and has a little sail symbol.  The algorithm for auto stop is simple:  car stationary with pressure on brake pedal. 

Sailing algorithm appears to be gearbox temperature 50oC or higher, speed 37 mph or higher and no brake or throttle applied..

Taking unwell cat to vet, poor little bugger has cystitis and was as good as gold

We were concerned about her last night so phoned the emergency line, they wanted £345 to see her then.  Even they said probably not needed.

Bottled out of Bakewell but went to Southwell instead. Mixture of suburban, country roads and dual carriageway. Confidence building exercise with Kate metaphorically holding my hand.
