Yes must be confusing for Garbon.

I only remembered the order of the pedals, by invoking 'muscle memory', even after all of these years.

What has got me confused, is remembering using 'heel and toe', but for the life of me I can't at this moment recall why.   :hmm:

Pedals are in the same order as manuals with the wheel on the proper side, but the shifting is all fucked up.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I only managed a dozen or so lessons, then gave up because it was so irritating; if Garbon wants a driver then I'm afraid i can't help  :(

A lot of put-put-putting in 3rd?  :D

To be fair, on some Italian cars the shifting is pretty fucked up, also I recall one or two french cars being odd. 

Though nothing beats that dashboard mounted shifter in things like Renault 4 etc.   :frog:

The old "start in 2nd and hope to find 3rd" routine.

Agreed with booking a train many years in advance and stopping in York for a few hours.
As I said in the post many years ago Durham is worth a stop too, its on the same London-Edinburgh mainline.

Weird, I could have sworn you had been a driver.

A visit to Durham is probably in order if one is going up the East Coast main line anyway  :cool:

Garb should go to a Millwall home game.  :)

You're forgetting this would be taking place within an old French car, with all the attendant peculiarities.   :P
