I've been offered a manual fairway,my own is an auto and I'd thought of buying the other for spares.
I've never driven a manual fairway and wonder what they are like to drive,anyone on here any comments?.

On my second manual Fairway.
Always seem to be off the lights before the autos.
Just had gearbox replaced. Original had done 380,000 miles.

My first cab was a manual FX4S. They're not too bad, but hateful driving in London!
