jporter12 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I saw the preview for it. I may have to hit it up on TiVo, since the wife is watching a movie that she started in the middle of, AND has me recording a later showing of it.

ReconRat Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Check the pics on this website. I'm going to have nightmares tonight.Worlds Scariest RoadsTrollstigen in NorwayThe word Trollstigen means the Troll Ladder. The road, though not lacking in safety standards, takes a lot of concentration and driving skill to conquer. The vertigo-inducing steep inclines, intense set of hairpins and narrow roads leave no margin for error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after so used to driving a stick that has always been on your right side? It isn't exactly easy to do right off the bat. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 if you say so lol...i dont see it being that hard...and the other people were able to do itive sat in the passenger seat and shifted before with the car off, and it wasnt bad at all...sure its different, but it cant be that much harder with it running lolnow shes on the bridge and still cant shift it even the next day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't exactly easy to do right off the bat. lolI have! In a 500+ HP Skyline GT-R! No I did not run it very hard though, since the engine was fresh, and being so different and all. I don't remember having much trouble shifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CattaniAFJ Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 That is a great find! I'd love to ride some of those, drive some of those, and talk someone into a dash cam so I can watch them drive those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMMW Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 You do need to get up speed through 1st ... and then hitting second may be easier to get into. Just a guess.Our company bucket truck is real finniky about lower gears and getting through them is sometimes difficult.TV sucks and watching them perform (whine) in front of the camera is annoying.

chevysoldier Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) I'm just saying I'd give her a little slack for shifting. Some people just have difficulties in different areas. For many people shifting off hand is very odd and some people just cannot really figure it out. Learning to drive a stick may have been hard for her to do in the first place, now her brain is fighting her on what she finally was able to learn how to do. Now if she doesn't catch on soon, then she shouldn't be there.Throw one of those truck drivers into a truck over here and see what happens. Bet that would be some funny shit too. lol Edited October 4, 2010 by chevysoldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
