DOING vs GOING / CUT PRICES/ MANNERISMS
Could you take a look at this please?
1 I Can't go faster than (what) I'm already going/doing. (walking or driving)
2 Tall and big people get good deals on clothes and shoes as there size are the last in stock and so no one buys them so the stores cut prices. (how would you say it?)
3 He's always trady, so if he say 12 add an extra 30 minutes on (top). (is this ok?)
4 He reminds me of John in his way of acting and mannerisms.
thank you

I meant to indicate that all of the options you proposed were acceptable.
Sometimes we use the square brackets to show that a word is optional.
So, "what" is indeed optional, and both "going" and "doing" are acceptable, in my opinion, as well as "walking" and "driving."
