I've always driving Manuals and find I'm much more comfortable with them.
I think that after Rockingham last week I had a real sense of accomplishment that it had been the gears I had selected that got me up & down the hills (obviously with a great deal of valuable instruction from Ray, otherwise I wouldn't have even believed the vehicle could go down hills like that )
Manual for me. Coffeecup March 2005 TDV6 S - Tonga Green - Manual May 2008 TDV6 SE - Stornoway Grey - Auto Dec 2010 SDV6 XS - Galway Green - Auto

also forgot to mention that Gareth is 4' all with his hands in the air, so it's probably easier to use the CC than the pedals.... think he uses the HDC instead of brakes
