I passed my test about 8 years ago and haven’t driven since, but now needing to get a car and very nervous about driving and particularly stalling - these videos have been a godsend! You explain things really easily and calmly and don’t assume the viewer knows too much about cars, thanks!

I switched from a manual car to an automatic car because of the heavy traffic. Your channel inspired me to go back to manual 😣

I've been driving for 17 years and I still find out useful info by watching your stuff. Great content dude, cheers!

I'm currently 15 and learning driving theory and watching videos on how to drive a manual, I want to make a good impression when I begin to drive. Thanks for the great videos.

Such a great way of describing things. I got this completely.

[dhritimansinha]

There's so many things I learnt from your videos that I wasn't told in my driving school. Keep it up!

[mgvideo]

I believe pupils (or customers) learn more from your videos than they do from their instructors. I've noticed this from comments on your channel. Well done.

For real u have a heart of a true teacher I do have my driving license but I can't forget about your post.

Rewatching these videos 2 years on when I've actually begun my learning! Still an amazing help 2 years on! (I left a comment on this video 2 years ago when I was 15, I am now 17 and learning to drive)

Recently bought a Ford Focus ST and its my first Manual. Its modded to about 320 hp and these videos have been a godsend. Only drove automatics before this vehicle.
