Hi, Does Any One Use A Automatic Instead Of A Manuel Off Road As I Have Noticed That There Are A Lot Of RRC With Automatic Gearboxes, What Are the like Compared With A Manuel Etc. Ben

They're great - you can feed the power in very gently and it gives you a lot of control. Given the choice, I'd rather have an auto, apart from the slight loss of fuel economy, and the arguably greater complexity when it breaks.
Out of interest, why do you put a capital letter at the beginning of every word? Doesn't that make typing a lot slower?
jjsaul:
ive driven autos and manuals offroad, and certainly with a v8, i'd choose an auto anytime...you just need to get the hang of cadence braking on steep downhills...other than that they are much easier to drive offroad.
clbarclay:
I know some that prefer a manual, but having inadvertantly bought one I'm converted. V8s and autos go together nicely.
The one trouble with auto boxs I've come across is where someones converted to a diesel using the V8 torque converter, said vehicle was ok on the road, but off road it struggled to get up any significant slopes.
