Thread: Embarrassment

I would suggest if she learns on a small auto that is all she will be able to drive for the rest of her life. If she learns on a Landrover manual she will be able to drive anything she wants to drive in the future, manual or auto.

So I think she should learn to drive on a manual, then if nessesary drive an auto after that, as she will then have the confidence to drive anything.

One day a few yesars ago I drove a 15 ton Fire truck in some driving lessons on back roads, on that truck. Do not have a truck licence and had never driven a truck over 4.5 ton, but went to learn to drivde a fire truck.

John, John,John, where did you hear that rubbish. Learning on an automatic makes getting her licence easier and then if she wishes after she has gained experience, it will be much easier for her to learn on a munual, she will pick up the knack of foot (clutch) and left arm (gear shifting)cordination a lot quicker. My youngest daughter did just that and she is now fully confident on a manual car!!!

Hey Banjo

It will depend on when I leave here and what sort of trip I have, I guess.

At the moment I am playing it all by ear. Yesterday I put the seats back in it, doors on, bonnet on... I have to find where I put its battery - haven't seen it for a couple of months but it will be here somewhere.

Today I did the wheel swap but didn't spend much time on it as I was out on a mates property doing stuff on the S3 (see the What Work did you do thread).

At this point in time I am hoping to pick the trailer up on Friday so that should give me an early start on Saturday (unless I haul arse up on Friday arvo...)

I'll keep you guessing Jason so you won't be worried about me lobbing up
