    Plenty of self shifting manuals ( oxymoron I guess ) though. Eaton AutoShift, Volvo iShift, Scania OptiCruise. They all work great, except when bobtail.

    I have a D2 auto and a D1 manual. I like both, but the auto makes better decisions than I do when things get sticky.

    My Ford is auto, as it's a lazy sort of car.

    Had a bunch of twin cam FIATs, a few Minis, four cylinder things. Wouldn't dream of having an auto in any of them. Had a couple of V8 Fords, one 318 Valiant and one Holden. Wouldn't dream of having a manual in any of them, and the Holden was a PowerGlide 2 speed.

    Tins i have the opposite configuration in D1 and D2 to yours. Both V8s. The auto in the D1 makes it smooth. Cheers

    @ Manual vs Auto:

    I am with manual D2 just like a man with a woman, so can't explain (and the woman normally does not need you to explain why you love her or marriage her, if in rarely case she would ask me she then knows that I love her curved bump than anything else just like I love the D2 spare wheel only), just jump on her and rock

    This would then make my D2 a 2005 model

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    It would have come in the same batch as mine. There was a large pool of unsold stock in the UK, at the time of release of the D3.

    The Australian industry was far more cunning, in the early '90s recession, when they had acres of unsold cars. The build plates were attached as the stock left the holding yards. Some vehicles were up to two years old before the plate was fitted.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    It was just the early 90's. My D1 is a Jan '97 build but didn't get sold in Australia till mid to late '98.
    Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from taking a nap.
