Transmission Wars: AT vs MT

[antigon]

Hey, got into a hilarious story recently.

 

So, I've got into some big movie shooting (that is a big story worth separate post=), and according to my supporting role I had to drive a car. Surely, I said I can drive! But you should have seen my face when I realized that it was a car older than me with manual Transmission!

 

Last time I drove those was 6 years ago, when I was studying how to drive. Fortunately, I somehow managed to recall my driving skills in about an hour (luckily, action was in "desert", not a city scene). But that made me think - probably MT is not only for racers even now?..

Hi Oleg,

 

manual transmission ---  most cars in the UK are manual transmission.  In fact, the x type 2.0 litre diesel doesn't have an Auto version.  My last Jaguar was a manual transmission model too, a 2.5 AWD x type.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.
