ignore johnny thats the best way to the hostpital [img]tongue.gif[/img]

of course thats tempting as well.
i tried teaching my gf once on how to drive.. manually.. my first and last time.. because i was already nearly screaming since we were going straight towards a cliff! good thing my hand was on the handbrake. after that experience.. im leaving it to the professionals to teach her.
oh yeah for tips on manual..
- try to control the clutch handling..
- try to get the "feel" of the car when you are going to shiftup.. or just look at the REV Timer. Just make sure it doesnt go to the red mark.
- its all about experience.. just practice (safely of course) till you get it right.
ps: what i mean about the "feel" is how you feel your engine running at that current speed. if your engine is having a hard time.. then go to the next gear. cheers!
