Go up one level in this thread


I see: you are assuming my case is that of an old man uncapable of fast
reactions. It is not the case. I am a very fast reaction kind of guy. In the
sychotechniques test that are made in Chile before giving you a card to drive or
any time you must renew it, any time I have made the test -with a machine that
simulates a car and where, By example, you must push the brakes in some
situations, etc- I need half the average time to do it. In fact I have avoided
more than an accident -caused by some of those speedy guys- with very fast and
controlled reactions.

The point is I love to save capacity in any kind of fields. A buffer. Typical of
a lazy guy as me. So I could drive very fast if the need arise, but I prefer to
do it slowly because I feel better, more serene and at easy. In my youth we had
not video games, but I played football as a goalkeeper, where you must be fast
enought to react in time. So it is not also a case of letargic temperament. And
of course I played a lot with that electronic machines we call flippers.
Pinball,in USA: Etc. So, Christophe, if ever we meet each other with a car under
our asses, I could challenge you to a race to see how much faster you are than
me. Maybe you are, but narrowly, I bet.  :-)
