Manual!

Not easy to drive the monster laa...
I must have done some injustice to the GTi when I drove it around my neighbourhood today.. hehehhee ..

The car must be thinking "Which idiot is this driving me around without knowing how to change gears..... grrrr...."

Anyway, the reason why manual cars are so much fun:
1. You dont get to be lazy on the road dreaming about something.
2. You can banish this "boy thing" about driving manual cars.... and finally one less comment about "girls only drive manuals"
3. You can drive super-toycars such as Fiat Bravo 1.8, Mini Cooper S and BMW X3 - err, if u have the money to buy them at least .... or you can try and drink many Cokes and hope you win the Cooper S - but ohh, wait, a boy from Kuantan had just won it!

The trouble with the manual cars are always the clutch and the gear engagement.
"Slow down accelerator, press clutch and engage gear..."

Try and balance at the hill.
"Release the clutch slowly, release the brake and accelerate the car without moving it. Make sure the needle points to 1 at the RPM meter. If you dont want the car's engine to die off, accelerate more , until 2."

How to make an emergency brake.
"Press both the brake and the clutch together!"

Things to work on:
1. The engagement of gears and clutch.
2. Confidence and control of the car on the road.
