hoooooohhoooo
I love Manual, I was born with it
The only thing automatic is good for is big luxury rides
If you have any questions, just ask
But you'll see, after a short while you'll find it easy
The advantage with manual is you can play with it and you feel that you are in control

Well I guess you agree it's not that easy to explain on a forum.. I'm sure that like most of us, when he will jump in the car and try for himself he will soon find out it's easy like learning walk

Be very patient. Very very patient.
Once you've actually tried it, memorize the sensations through your hands and feet, and practice whenever you're sitting around watching TV or something. The more you practice, the better you'll get ... and after a couple of thousand miles driving manual, you'll be able to perfect the hard stuff, like perfectly blipping the throttle on downshifts, even while braking.
For now though, take it slow, try not to stall, and watch how others do it. Smooth = good.
