Panelbeater rings me up this morning, asks me if I can drive a manual gear shift.
I says yeah but I haven't driven one in years.
He says well I can't get an auto courtesy car til tomorrow but if you want to take the manual you can bring your car in today.
I say ok.
I managed to drive it out of the yard without bunny-hopping it lol. Stalled it a cpl times at the lights. Paranoid about any hill starts, scared of rolling back.
But I got used to it by the time I drove home. 🙂 Some things you never forget. Like riding a bike.

I went on youtube and watched a video, I learnt to drive a manual that way.

I always said I'd never want an auto, but once I got one I never looked back. Same with electric windows.

I hadn't driven a manual for 20 years, then I had to take my daughter for driving lessons.
You're right, you just do it but boy I was nervous. Especially when she bailed at the roundabout.
Tests any relationship, the stop, no no no go, delayed reaction STOP!
