The bet was that I get the beer that sombody would say that.
I have never had to heel and toe a hill in my life and that includes very large military vehicles in the Bavarian Alps. Mind you I have never once used the handbrake as well.
Driving a MT is not some special mad skill that only a select few can do and to glorify starting on a hill as a major achievement is just silly.
