[Spoggle]

[QUOTE=TobyJug;493232]u off-road as well?

Have been known to get a little muddy at times. Have driven all manner of Landy things off road, had an exelent day on the Landy jungle when on a driving course once. But have to say with hand on heart it's gotta be a Surf Auto anyday.

Auto every time for offroad. Can't stand the things myself. Far more convenient and comfortable but I like to think I'm doing something.

Just out of interest.....

People voting yes to manual ....are you under 40 and slimmer build

People voting yes to manual .... never driven an Auto

People voting yes to manual .... fancy themselves as Colin MC cray

People voting yes to Auto........are you over 40 and slightly larger build

People voting yes to Auto........have you driven both and know which is best

People voting yes to Auto........just plain lazy

[TobyJug]

toby you forgot to add a poll.

Good point....
Will go put one up now....

Thanks mate...

[yoshie]

you dont need a poll 90% will say auto the other 10% will never have driven one off road and are plain wrong

[new surf]

Toby if you want to test fly my auto that would be ok by me, Only problem is there is no mushroom on the bonnet.

[plumb bob]

My two penneth.

I drive a manual, and have diven an auto, the auto seemed faster off the mark, and doing the Wales run a number of times, I can tell you that the manual gearbox is just hard work and I have stalled a number of times whilst diving across/through rivers, with hidden rocks under the water.

My driving style is not as aggressive as some, which is why my Coopers tyres ar still unmarked after Tgree trips to the Welsh Mountains and my clutch is still good.

I would get an Auto if I was in a position to afford one, Iam not so I will have to make the best of what I have.


Auto is best for the slow rock crawling that is Strata Florida and Happy Valley.

Good to meet you and Debs too, hope you're feeling better, I'm still tired after all that driving, The Wales runs can be quite physically demanding.
