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?..

Must be a foreign language film?

[Impasse]

Yep, must admit I haven't driven a car with manual transmission since this morning. They're dying out. Definitely.

[PositronicRay]

In a video game it doesn't really matter though.

"STIG FALLEN ON HARD TIMES" reports the Daily Wail.

Will Chris Evans welcome him back?

You've registered at PH yet your driving experience consists of nothing but slushers?

That is an hilarious story for sure. I look forward to your thread on some big movie shooting.

Top story, thanks for sharing it.

[Theophany]

Well, this has been... Educational?

[anonymous-user]

Inexplicably the OP has posted EXACTLY the same thing in a Volvo forum. Teacher training day or something?

School holidays more like...

Only thing here to remotely defend him would be that he lives in the usa as they all love autos

[Jimmy Recard]

Whether or not that's true, it's still a st story.

What's a transmission war?

It's where two (or more) rival TV stations fight over the right to broadcast public interest documentaries during the hours of 0300 and 0600.

His profile says UK
I wonder where you'd shoot a desert scene this time of year
