Learned a lesson Sunday. When your vehicle is a standard, don't do the entire ship tour at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park, and immediately drive the 350 miles home! Doing a stair step exercise routine makes shifting that much more difficult latter on.
LOL, I did 1400 miles in a standard a few months ago. Love it. Give me a standard any day, any amount of traffic, any distance.
You say that now... Have you driving a truck with 450,000 miles on it that had a 50 pound clutch? Highway miles were fine,.. but City and hills sucked like an F5 tornado.
Oh - I guess I should say it was a commercial MACK truck so you had to have CDL (commercial Drivers License) with Air brake endorsement.

I miss driving a standard. One day when the ship comes in, I plan to have a second car with a standard.

The vehicle I want and that we have the tech to actually create today is all electric drive with an onboard generator (preferably a turbine with 1 moving part). I know of none being made tho.

They used to make these. Porsche made one in 1901, in fact. It's called "electric transmission."

Porsche in 1901? Mixing something up with that date combination? Key word is used, history doesn't really help us in the here and now.

SW London is copying the MangoCon model, but just a one day event. More like the NYC MangoMeetup model.

At least there's that. Those who already purchased travel arrangements I'm sure are happy.

Well Spiceworld London was completely cancelled, I'm sure they had to put something up to cover the cost of peoples tickets to SW.
