chrisp65 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 people imagine they have more control and the full driving experience with manual, that's compelling, but mostly rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Ugh. I'm 22. I should not wake up with an absolutely bolloxed back each morning. Lost weight, exercise, all the rest of it. Still aching. Might just devour painkillers, grow a beard and change my name to House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted May 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I'll happily drive either, but I prefer driving manual. (BTW, I didn't learn to drive until I was 33). Edited May 30, 2013 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2013 The Irish international team is staying at the hotel where I have my wedding on sat! Bin dunne Saw him today actually. I'll tell you one thing he's not, and that's fat Saw him in Selfridges last year and thought the same. Surprisingly gangly actually. Thought the same thing when I saw Heskey once actually.

PompeyVillan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 But why do we bother with biting point and clutch etc, when it's not necessary. Seems to have been phased out in a lot of countries. If I had my way everyone would drive using a PS3 pad. Think of the man points you'll lose if you don't learn to drive a manual. It's like learning to ride a bike but with one stabiliser still on.

mjmooney Posted May 31, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'll happily drive either, but I prefer driving manual. Don't know why. I'm baffled. Hard to say. I guess it's because I learned on a manual, and it was the only driving I knew - it was several years before I first drove an auto. It was in the USA,and - while it was easy enough - I found that on twisty climbing roads it always changed down moments later than I would have done. Made me think it was wasting fuel. I know you've got the kick-down thing, but... dunno. Driving manual just feels like normal driving, it's second nature. In an auto my left hand and foot are redundant, and it feels odd. Having said that, I do tend to still choose auto in a left-hand drive hire car, as I find changing gear with my right hand feels really counter-intuitive, and takes me ages to get used to.

P3te Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Have to drive an automatic in Canada as that's what the wife knows how to drive, but absolutely hate it. You're at the mercy of the transmission when it comes to shifting (which is ALWAYS too late), and despite what some say about the "lack of control" thing being a myth, it's absolutely not. If you haven't got the ability to shift up and down when you choose, you have less control - particularly in adverse weather conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
