I don't know what one of those is, unless it was called something else where I was.
I owned an old Vanguard with the crank handle to start it in the morning. It had a charger for recharging the battery during the day but the battery did not have enough charge to start the motor in the morning. The car had quarter windows on all the doors (front and back) and roller blinds ond the back doors and front passenger window. Great car.
the first truck I drove in 1968 had a mechanical hand on the door instead of blinkersI'll give you bloody hehehe Ted...I've never had an automatic car in my life...I'm a driver, not a loafer...
A choke, to help start the engine when cold. Haven't seen one of those in a car for a long time.
No synchro in the gearbox. You had to double de-clutch to change gears.
you had to make sure you didn't pull it out to far otherwise you would flood the engine

Ah Ok, thanks. Never heard it called that before, it was just a double clutch to me.
Exactly, and then you had a whole lot of trouble trying to start it.
It's true, most of my friends don't drive manual. I still do and I really enjoy it. It is a massive shame that they are being phased out slowly.A manual gear box...
They wouldn’t know what a street directory was let alone how to use it !!!
