The inevitable has happened and I have been out in the Freelander for a bit of off road bimbling. I so enjoyed it, I actually want to think about learning properly.
I hate manual cars, I've given up on several bouts of lessons, due to the fact I nearly rip the gearstick out of the floor in frustration and I really can't be ffin about with clutches. I am am biker, and always will be, cages are far too alien.
The Freelander is automatic, every car between now and forever will be an automatic, as Peg finds it extremely difficult and painful to drive manual, which is a shame as his license covers him to drive almost anything. We'll only ever be looking at automatics purely for his comfort and benefit.
So what would be the point of learning to drive a manual (apart from the license legal bit) if I am only ever going to have access to automatic cars?
BTW the Bus was a piece of cake to drive, much better than a poxy little 1.1 thing, I think I'm off out again on Sunday
, but be a wee while longer before out on the road with L plates as a little time is needed to get used to the sheer size!
