Re: American's and stick shifts (long)

What about using the hands-free kit instead??

I agree with Phil (and the GB traffic reg) that it should be an infraction if
you use a hand-held phone. I've got one and use it in my A4 only when not in
motion.(Still need to get the interface for my old Motorola)

As for the cupholders, I use 'em for transport but will rarely sip while driving
(unless I'm at a standstill in traffic).
