Anyone here want to admit to being the driver of the blue new-shape WRX on the M25/A3 junction at 13:30 yesterday afternoon? If so why the hell were you wearing driving gloves, you sad muppet?!?!
;) :D |
lol
might have being nicking it! |
What are driving gloves - isn't that something used in Golf :confused:

One of us needs our coat - and it aint me ;)
|
There's a taxi each for both of you outside :p :D:D
|
Wrong Forum too :p ;)
|
And what sort of GIT drives in a massive thick coat and hat, with all the windows misted up ????
THATS WHAT THE AIR BLOWERS / HEATER ARE FOR!!!!!!!!!!!! |
The ones that have broken heater systems? :p :D
|
You should always wear driving gloves when drivin someone elses car!
Rule number 34,page 16,paragraph 2.......... :) |
Driving gloves? What tan leathered ones usually found in Mercedes or Momo suede race gloves?
|
I always drive in gloves.........fireproof sparcos that is when Im on track ;)

tan leathered ones usually found in Mercedes or Momo suede race gloves? However, even if they were Momo racing gloves, there's still no excuse for wearing 'em on the M25. ;) |
Doesnt Dave T-S wear driving gloves...
|
I wear Sparco Triple Layer Nomex gloves... cos I dont like the feel of leather steering wheels.. :D
|
So get a steering wheel which isn't leather. Wearing driving gloves on the road is just plain pretentious.
|
Can some one send me the "Impreza driving uniform guidelines" as my dealer forgot to advise me. Next you'll be telling me I shouldn't be wearing a crash helmet.
A friend who works for one of the touring cars teams gave me a set of Ex-Anthony Reid Sparco gloves that live in the glove box (funny that) but have only been worn once when I went go-karting. |
I'm talking about on the road here - in particular on the motorway. For track use, gloves/helmet/etc are obviously important.
But are you seriously telling me that when driving on the M25 or the A3, driving gloves are necessary? |
I hate to say it but i agree with MarkO on this one.........If I was to wear driving gloves my mates would be taking the pis5 for years to come!
|
if its cold I wear mittens..the string can get caught in the handbrake if Im not careful though.
:D DISCLAIMER - I dont really, Im lying. |
Maybe he finds his car so exciting his palms sweat and he loses grip?
I'd like to point out this was not me wearing the driving gloves, I'm just trying to understand why someone would wear them. |
I wear Sparco Nomex driving gloves every time I go out in my EVO VI.
This has nothing to do with being pretentious. I find it helps me keep a grip on the steering wheel when I'm attempting to hang the tail out on roundabouts (I believe there are roundabouts at most junctions of the M25). In fact, it has transformed my enjoyment of the car as I can grip the steering wheel lightly (as Don Palmer instructs on his driving development course) while still maintaining a proper grip. I think the chap in the WRX was probably out enjoying himself, while the real muppet thought it was worth starting a thread slagging off his choice of attire. Nigel (former Scooby owner) |
I think the chap in the WRX was probably out enjoying himself, while the real muppet thought it was worth starting a thread slagging off his choice of attire. The guy I saw wasn't exactly hooning it - we'd just come off the M25 in heavy traffic, and he was sitting stationary at the lights before heading up the A3 London-bound. But as I say, whatever. I'm sure his wife thought the gloves were very necessary, anyway. :D |
sounds like someone suffering from wankeritus if you ask me
|
If I were a betting man I'd be betting with Barge on this one :p

Thanks for your advice Kermit but I think I can decide for myself how fast I can safely drive on the road.

You're a bit mouthy for somebody who's only just joined the board, aren't you? And the name's Mark, not Kermit.
|
if you have a mans grip you don't need gloves, the only reason racing drivers wear them is cos they are fire proof!
Only the limp wrist brigade need gloves for the road |
Anyone that wants to call me limp wristed can do so to my face at the next SIDC trackday ;) :D
|
fancy yourself as a bit of a hard man eh,i bet you look rock in them gloves :D :D :D
