Well, you speak as you find. I have driven manual and auto cars for years. You learn to really drive an auto with two feet. You have two feet and two pedals, two hands and two stalks, it does seem logical. What all people take into consideration is the mixing up of the systems. Forget the manual system. Why is the brake pedal on an auto twice the size of a manual? If autos came first then manuals would not get a look in, like fuel injection versus carbs, and I liked to look at the complexity of the Stromberg, Weber etc.. but where are they now. I had a great conversation with an AA examiner over this point and I can see his point and he could see mine. My thoughts only after 60 odd years driving both systems, nemesis
