Subject: women and standard gearbox

It was a women who help get hooked on busses.  A friends mother got me driving her 1958 green on green splittie no syncro for first; come to a complete stop then go into 1st gear. This was back in 1967 she then pick up an 1968 westy with less than 20k. It still looked & smelled new; I loved that bus.

Out of all my friends on all the long trips in the many busses I have owed the two best driver have been women.
