tbourner Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 it goes with is your car front or rear wheel drive "dunno" well when you lift the bonnet which way round is the engine that normally gives it away " dunno never looked under the bonnet" that why some basic mechanical knowledge came into the driving test i guess, shame its not more Didn't the Passat have a longitudinal engine and FWD? Or the other way around? I'm sure some cars do anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 X3 or the 330iX? Neither of which are FWD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Neither of which are FWD I was thinking that, and also that the X3 isn't even a 3 series lol. Is the X3 same as the X5? Xdrive or whatever it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 ... and it doesn't stop there MNin7QJEOZE See a damsel in distress. Make a video and take the p!$$. Maybe he will sue too for damage to property. U.K.s' new 'modern man' strikes again. Long gone are the days of chivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Regardless of gender, colour or race, I would have been out there pushing and shoveling. I regard this as pathetic, and a prime example of U.K.s' new 'modern man'. Maybe my chivalry is a sign of maturity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BazzaAlpine Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Chivalry is dead. I've been like that my whole life and all it got me was broke and single. Wouldn't have stopped me from offering to help but so glad I wasn't in the position where I'd need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 It's not to say the guy wouldn't have gotten out and helped. I was stuck in the mondeo a week or so back when a guy came out of the house across from us and gave me a push. He said he had been watching me for 5 minutes trying to dig myself out of the hole, and having a good laugh, and decided to come out and see if he could lend a hand. It is unfair to judge that the person videoing wouldn't have had his fill after a small time and gone out to help when he realised she was getting nowhere. If I got out of my house everytime I saw a car struggle on a hill/road I would be as well keeping my coat on. I have only actually had to go out once where the person couldn't actually get anywhere (an old guy that didn't really understand that flooring it wasn't the best plan of action).

Yes, Audi A4 also has longitudinal engine with FWD, so it's not always an indication of drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are to be filmed, laughed at and poked with sticks at any moment of trouble, because it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'd have gone out to offer help. Something along the lines of "It's rear wheel drive, you dozey f**ker" before going back indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
