If I get in a manual car I stall the damned thing every time I have to stop , I change gear ok but I forget the clutch when I stop . As for the wife driving , she let her licence lapse thank god . It was like the ride of the valkyries with her behind the wheel .
One of these days she’ll work out how to drive that computer, Dave, then you’ll find out what “marital war” is all about! 
After a day on my Mickey mouse I’d get to 4th in my car flick left indicator dip clutch n into 4th high!!!
And I came close to ripping indicator lever off a time or two after climbing out of my ERF n putting the park brake on in the car!!!
Just remembering them, rooting about bottom right of my seat feeling for the park brake, Atkinson. "What the bludy ell are you doing this time? " guess who was asking.
Lost count of the number of times I pulled my car out of top looking for another gear and was caught by the dragon sliding my hand down the lever feeling for the range change
I’ve got a Renault Master campervan. I always double declutch
when changing from first to second. Don’t know why.
My youngest daughter who is now 52 tells me You always say that
Dad. Whenever I stop at a junction I look up and down and say. " Every body
and his brother are out today!" Old habits eh? Regards Charlie 
When we had our latest batch of new Scania’s I was in our yard when one of our drivers was about to ne taken out on a training run by the Scania instructor, we only went about ten miles to Winchester and back with the instructor on the edge of the bunk and me in the passenger seat. Now the drivers were having tuition as these new models have no gearstick and I found it highly amusing the amount of times our trainee reached out for that gearstick that was not there, years of using a gearstick became odd to live without, need less to say I cant drive them even if I was asked to, cheers Buzzer.
