Pass! Effectively he did everything possible wrong which is also the reason why he shouldn’t be driving it.

I should of mentioned that whilst I’ve been in them a lot of times, I’ve never driven one!

And the traction control was also switched off.

As someone who has experienced various McLaren traction control systems, this cars TC was definitely switched off.

The cars I did the milage in are well know for reliability over huge mileage but it was split between the 3 although they all ended over 200k before I sold them.

I thought it was obvious but maybe not. I swapped cars when each individual car exceeded 200k, I didn’t buy new as I knew the car would do lots of miles and not be worth much when resold.

Signed payments are exceptionally rare here in the UK so the cashier probably checked it out of suspicion. It’s a fall back method here usually only used by visitors.

My 3 banks here in England do not allow pin selection for that reason.

I always wonder why the US is so far behind most western countries in this respect. Everywhere here in the UK is chip-and-pin and nearly everywhere does Apple Pay.

Whenever I see that brand, I always think of the famous Royal Jordanian, the only person I’ve ever known to ride one of their bikes. He’s also the king of the filterers! (Not a word, I know!)
