I disagree.
Although modern autos are good. Nothing beats proper driving. If you're commuting, fair enough, but you can't take an auto out for a blast around country roads properly.

This is true.
But I've driven cars just as fancy on country roads. Automatic gives you less control of speed and acceleration. Simple.

Being a shit driver gives you less control of speed
Acceleration I will let you have as you can have a bit of delay on kickdown

You can still control the speed though using your foot
Acceleration I will let him have as they are two very different things...

You can control the speed by opening the door and pushing it along the ground with your foot.
It don't make it better.

There's something special about dropping a car down a couple of gears and kicking its knackers in.
Even a shit car.

The discovery is good for this, especially on tight roads, it sticks to the buggers like glue.

I had an astra that was surprisingly good at this.
Especially given that pressing the brakes or changing gear at speed used to invoke a game of 'guess which direction I'm going to try and veer towards'.
