Yeah, but street racing's bad. I'd love a 500rwkw manual VLT. lol That would a handful, going up the Foreshore, on a Sunday arvo. Meh I love having a clutch. I don't drag race, or worry about driving in heavy traffic, so Autos can get f***ed. hehehehehe Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

HAHA autos are good for concerntrating on your drivning but boring? I have found myself dozing off and losing concerntration almost everytime i drive an auto. Manuals keep you much more alert and in control.

Manuals keep you much more alert and in control. Yep. You have to multitask in a Manual, but do f*** all in a Auto, other than Steer, Brake and Accelerate. Like that takes much concerntration. I don't hate all Autos, but I seriously can't stand them half the time.

but after a while, it's not to much of a problem to drive an manual, sure you use both hands for differnt things an have 3 peddels but it's not like you have to sit there and think everytime you got to change gears or something.
