[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 383768, member: 6969"] Just over a year ago when down under I had a go in my BIL's 20 ton tipper truck, not on the road, just around his farm. Boy that was weird. Some gear changes you used the clutch pedal, some you didn't (That goes against all 35 years of driving) and some you just switched the switch on the gear lever, pressed the clutch down and up without touching the gear stick. Oh and the gear stick had as much tactile feedback as stiring a stick in thick porridge so it was sometimes luck if you got the right gear. Even Bruce said he sometimes gets confused changing up and down and ends up stopping and starting from the bottom again! Also had fun on his digger, useful practice for when I got my own, and on his dozer, and I finally got to drive a Roller, a road roller that is. There's another weird idea, whoever thought it would be a good idea to invert the controls and have a decelerator pedal? (that was on the dozer) [/QUOTE]
