Light braking on the road and blipping the throttle to match the revs and use engine braking as you suggest is smoother. Heel & toe has its purpose and place and with my driving ability, serves little purpose on the road.
I never suggested you don't understand heel & toe, quite the opposite. I said I'm sure you fully understand heel & toe, therefore not intending to insult your intelligence.
I'd love to join you all for the Dragon and if my numbers come up on the lottery then I'll gladly fly over, buy a 6 Speed Manual and tag along. As I'll be your guest, you can buy the beer.
Left foot braking does not apply to manual shifters. Brakes are not for 6 spd driving, they are for stopping. We clearly have different driving styles. That's OK.
Win or lose my pleasure to buy the beer. It'll be domestic from an ancient disident's recipe. Sam Adams. You may have heard of him.
If you wish, I'll serve it Brit style, warm. I'll pull it out of the cooler, set it on the hood, and wait 'til you catch up.
