Seriously? (the fuel consumption bit, I mean). That's just… …bad. And not in a good way. My petrol car gives 22-25mpg around town and 32mpg on motorways and that's with 385bhp and 3.8litres. I'd have thought that a modern Cooper S would be waay ahead of that - what do they weigh, for goodness' sake?
I did have a british mini in the 80's had a 1275GT so I hope you can forgive me for the one I have now Bloody love this car
Hence why our corsa is an auto and why every car in our future has to be an auto [emoji31] I love the days when I get to take out one of the work cars, just to get back in a manual [emoji106]
I am sure there is a joke here somewhere but I'm fairly sure plenty women can work gears lol. Thinking of female TT racers and race car drivers. I can name a few I've met. I don't have an issue giving them respect even if they are not as fast as the fastest guys racing. They would humiliate most average guys.
