Manual or auto, which do you prefer?

You see!?!?! Even the old’er’ hands that grew up with manuals think I’m mad. Maybe I am or is it because I’m a control freak? I don’t know. I just can’t stand mechanical things that have a mind of their own and don’t do as I instruct instantly. I do deliver to building sites so spend a lot of time on back roads and having to do tricky reverses as well as getting stuck in mud. All of which autos seem to really struggle with. My last job was a brief stint on fridges where I had a new auto actros. I never felt the need for it to be manual doing that job so I guess it’s horses for courses.
