I mean, there are probably people out there who look at me like I'm some demi-god because I may (or may not) have piloted a SIIa Landie while the balance of my mind was disturbed (Three gear levers, no synchromesh on 1st & 2nd. Oh. And a Fairey OD. Four levers, and it was generally considered a Bad Idea to shift into OD in 1st and 2nd) because they're used to old-skool slushboxes or modern semi-autos.

Yer man in that there Kenworth? Respect due, as they used to write in the NME when it was relevant and interesting. (October 1982)
