auto conversions....
« on: 05 March 2013, 22:08:33 »
Well, after nine auto-to-manual conversions, I now find myself doing a manual-to-auto.

is this a "muller-light" moment ?

Agreed .. if god had intended us to drive manuals we'd have 3 legs .....  :) 

<start computation>
x = number of pedals
y = number of feet
p = perfection level
If x > y then p=0%
If x = y then p=100%
If x < y attend garage for safety checks
<end computation>

Yoghurt knitting depends on the traffic level. Down here, there's two corners on my commute that warrant a manual. And one of those has bloody traffic lights on it now.

Lets face, the omega manual is more akin to Victorian signal box than anything car related. ;)

So why do we have 2 legs? You only need one leg to drive an auto.....  :D

Heard of it, but 99% of auto drivers don't do it.

What does left leg do in an auto? Sod all!

Lot of effort? While driving the 3.2, I just swivel right foot?

Whole point of driving an auto is laziness?

Think it's well known on here that I always left foot brake when i'm in an auto. Feels un-natural now to use the right foot to brake in an auto.

Must admit, I always used to use the left foot on the stop switch but have found myself driving much more gently lately and have reverted to one foot. Although when in the car on my own it's not unheard of for me to switch back if I'm pressing on ::)
