My only screw up in the UK was to circle the wrong way in a cul-de-sac -- `lag 01/19/2022 09:57AM

Better cul de sac than a roundabout onto the A1 -- Happy Dog 01/19/2022 10:08AM

I thought roundabouts were great for that - we didn't have them here at the -- `lag 01/19/2022 10:15AM

Heel on clutch? -- EDGEMAN 01/19/2022 11:27AM

Oh... haha... I had my peddles swapped - been awhile (obviously) -- VTENGR 01/19/2022 11:32AM
