This delightful young man asked if I would set up a Mark Sullivan pose for him and when he grows up and looks at this photo maybe the likes of us and double rifles and vast plains blackened with buffalo will be a thing of the past.

Andrew, your words are, unfortunately, too prophetic. My love for African Hunting, the current status of education, constant barage of negative social media stories, and the infatuation of having a virtual life on a mobile device has led us to the twilight of individual accomplishment. Your photo and pose will serve as a reminder of a past lifestyle which has faded into the anals of history. Well Done! | |||

It's good to see a young man with a proper roll model like Mr. Sullivan. | |||

The young man in the photo is my 8 year old, Benjamin, who joined me and my wife for our spectacular two week hunt with Andrew & Patsy at Royal Kafue immediately prior to Darin's trip. I think Mr. Baldry's posting of this photo was a subtle reminder that I need to go ahead and post my hunt report! I took wonderful buffalo, roan, sable and waterbuck on the hunt, but the highlight of the trip was Benjamin's killing his first two African animals (a puku and a reedbuck), albeit not with Andrew's pictured .500 double. As soon as things settle down at the office, I will complete my write-up which will include some very silly pictures of Andrew. Richard | |||

Indeed it did. I taught him to drive a 'stick shift' and from then on he took over the driver's seat.   ROYAL KAFUE LTD Email - kafueroyal@gmail.com Tel/Whatsapp (00260) 975315144 Instagram - kafueroyal | |||

. Andrew, A "stick shift"! Really ! It is and remains a 'manual' old boy. Even if you do spend most of your time in the bush please do not let standards and language slip! Otherwise, congrats on a great photo and well done on teaching the lad to drive and about the good life! . "Up the ladders and down the snakes!" | |||

Stick shift is the American term. ROYAL KAFUE LTD Email - kafueroyal@gmail.com Tel/Whatsapp (00260) 975315144 Instagram - kafueroyal | |||

Either a “standard transmission” or a “manual transmission” is more traditional American than “stick shift.” “Stick shift” is a rather modern term for a “manual transmission.” We new them as kids as a “standard.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

First: very good picture. Second: '4 on the floor' or '3 on the tree' was common for me growing up.  | |||

Only Texans who are too young to know that "STICK SHIFT" was in common use from the 1930s to way up into the 1950s in Texas! The term "STANDARD" was rarely used except for big trucks till today. Today a standard transmission is rare and I doubt more than ten percent of the public, under the age of 30 today can even drive a car/truck with a "STICK SHIFT"!  .....................................................................  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

Great photos, I envy your son as he already has the memories that I had to wait until I was 50 years old to acquire. When I learned to drive, we never said "standard transmission, manual, or stick shift. We just called it a truck because they all had manual transmissions. I know that there were trucks with automatic transmissions but I never saw one until I was about 12 years old and I had already been driving for a couple of years by then in a 1950 Ford with a flathead and a 4 speed that had to be double clutched when shifting. From there I went to the 5 ton hay trucks with 4 speeds and split rear ends. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

Up until about 1949 or so there just about wasn't any automatic trans missions. Buick and Olds, had "semi auto' pos setup that was a combo like workings. From a hay truck I got into a Mack mixer with 5 & 4, making 20 fwd and 4 reverse speeds. There's a whole bunch of varieties of "truck" transmissions all within the trans itself. Big rigs got away from the two speed differentials. Even though they worked much the same way. IF anyone wants to know more, say so and I'll get into it deeper. I drove OTR ten years giving it up Dec '75. Long before many of you were born. George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!" LM: NRA, DAV, George L. Dwight | |||

How many under 50 can double clutch a non syncromesh gearbox today..? Try driving ie a WW2 GMC truck without mastering that..or a Diamond truck...we had those in our army up to the eighties...Marshall help for sure.. | |||

They were called stick shifts here in the northwest. Match engine rpm with road speed and forget the clutch. Dave | |||

Cougar: Yep, but not many here would know that term. Most gears I ever ran was an Allison automatic with 36 fwd's in a 185ton Euclid dump. AND that ain't the big un yet by far. No idea what the big 'dumps' have for gears. I do know the tires are the biggest made. About 5' wide tread and 14'6" tall. Duals on both ends. Kids off to a great start both driving and hunting.

God I LOVE this photo.  The anxiousness of the boy to GET GOING! His back WAY off the "back rest" of the seat, His chest just about to hit the steering wheel... The wonder of being a boy...

And I'm sure Andrew was quoting his driving student when he used the term, "stick shift", a popular term in my youth, (born in '60) in New York City, and more often then not short- ened to, "Stick"!
