Changing down at 100 mph to 3rd gear is daft. Unless you drive an aston or Ferrari. If you had either then I'd like to think that you'd do like I would and place an order with the AUTO box ticked.

Manual boxes are old and outdated - yes you can get your engine to over-rev by selecting second gear at ninety miles-per-hour. That's a brutal way to prove a very childish point.
