No, unfortunately this is not a winning Lottery draw but just how I drive around Brunei at the moment...
My car is at the garage for service and to have some smaller jobs done, so I'm using Nathan's truck which unfortunately, is a manual.

Now, it's been a wee while since I last drove a manual car, and also this one has six gears. That's a lot of gears to choose from! Add to that the way the Bruneians are driving, you can appreciate there is a lot of changing gears going on!
Even the kids have noticed this extra activity whilst driving, and they are both wondering nearly every time we're out why we move that "stick" around so much?

Hihi, och vi som just har fått familjens allra första automatväxlade bil, en sprillans ny Honda CR-V. Nåt som verkligen underlättar körningen! Jag kan förstå att era barn tycker att det är himla konstigt med allt pillande med växelspaken. ;-)
