Hear, hear. To both of your disparaging statements. Auto-parkers: wonderful expression of technological skill, but like the spell-checker they just
ramp up the dumbing down (and other rants).
Manual trannys...Oh hell yes. But let's narrow it down to stick-shift only, I mean, who the hell ever raced in a three-on-the-tree? (Well, actually,
see if you can find HQ Holden Series on Google).
That said, I did use to have fun making the back end break loose in my Dad's EB2 Falcon. 4 litre, DOHC straight six with fuel injuction and an
electronic T-bar auto. Never was into using the handbrake to get the back around, always preferred the right foot...
Also, anybody else want to comment on this:
Have never liked travelling to SEAsia (from a driving point of view). I have to drive a LHD with the stick in my right hand instead of my right hand
on the wheel, where it belongs. Anybody else have to do a regular RHD/LHD conversion (or vice versa) and what do they think of it?
