Gaaahhhhh....

I had to drive the work pool car this afternoon - we have a Focus estate we share, to save the cheapskates in accounts from having to pay us mileage in our own cars.

Six weeks with the DSG, and it took me a while to remember that I had to change gear!  I didn't actually stall it, and by the time I was getting near my destination I was back in manual mode, but I did find myself trying to turn cormers in 4th and stuff like that.

And yet I still grope for the gearstick in the Golf, at inappropriate moments!  Whoda thunk the habit of a lifetime would wear thin in six weeks!

tricky!
Manual is more fun for me, but the Auto option is nice for daily runs about town in rush hour (with lots of stop \ start). I went for a Golf manual as I use another car week days mostly
