Talk to me about clutches

[Keith Tedford]

We were in Ireland a few years ago and noticed that the cars, even the BMWs, were all stick shift. Dale asked her elderly great aunt if they had any cars with automatic transmissions. The answer was, "Oh, they are for invalids." Apparently, the only only ones who drove automatics were those with physical handicaps that prevented use of standards. We had quite a chuckle.
