Re: Thief can't drive car.
not at all surprising- manuals are by far the minority.

A bit sad that the manual gearbox is becoming a security device.

Re: Thief can't drive car.
In the USA automatic gearboxes are so prevalent that a manual gearbox is one of the best anti theft devices you can fit.

Re: Thief can't drive car.
I'd love to hear the response from the insurer.
Yes sir. I have security device fitted....its a manual. LOL
I doubt it would fly though

Re: Thief can't drive car.
It's funny how what you started with is your default.
I've always been a Car Nut so I don't count, but both my kids were taught on a Manual and then bought cheap manual cars when they went to Uni.
When they bought the next car themselves - Manuals!
Neither is remotely interested in cars (I achieved my goal) but they are both very committed to Manual vehicles.
