Mothers

My mum told me today that she thinks there is something wrong with her car. When I asked why she told me that when she was going up the motorway the other day at 70mph, the rev counter was pointing to 6500, just on the red line, so she slowed down to 60mph.
When she was making the return trip later in the day she got up to 70mph and the rev counter only got up to 4500 rpm!

She still hasn't found top gear, then.

Bless old people! This is not entirely relevant, but I taught my grandma some years ago to use a computer, and she's now quite good and uses the internet regularly. Last time I visited I used her PC to check my email and this forum. The following day I get a phonecall: "Did you use my computer to look at illegal p*rn"? (I hadn't) So I asked why she thought that. "It says Internet Explorer has performed an illegal operation and must be shut down"....

reminds me of the story few years back of the american woman on holiday in G B who hired a manual car.. thought it was an automatic she put it in first gear and drove along the motorway

That is just folklore... a person who is not familiar with a manual transmission vehicle wouldn't be able to move off in it without stalling...
