For many of us, driving our Model A's is the only time we get to 'relive those thrilling days of yesteryear', by driving our 'stick shift' Model A.

Beyond that Model A 'stick shift' experience - how many of you drive a 'stick shift' in your modern cars ? Today's modern world of driving is all about creature comfort and ease of operation. There are getting to be fewer and fewer vehicles (of course their are some 'sports cars') that provide a 'stick shift / clutch' experience.

I was prompted to think about this question today as I drove my only 'modern' car, which does happen to be a stick shift - owned since new, my 1969 VW Beetle.

So, as regards 'stick shift' in modern cars, who drives what ?
