My argument against automatics is that they are adding unnecessary complexity. In other words, you don't NEED an automatic gearbox and (this may be my being prejudiced) when they go wrong they are more difficult and more expensive to maintain. Also, you can't bump start if things go badly wrong...! Having said that, I would love an automatic if I could be sure that I could afford it if it went wrong. best, Pete (Manual 85 900) -- Peter Thompson Computer Manager Emmanuel College Cambridge
