This Valet Parker Was Completely Baffled By A Ford Fiesta ST’s Manual Gearbox

Despite insisting he knows how to drive a manual gearbox, this young detailer's assistant makes numerous amusing errors while trying to move a Fiesta ST before finally giving up and letting his boss finish the job

Despite a little crunching going on, the uploader mentioned that no damage was done to the car, and clarified that he is “not pissed about this.” We can only assume the employee exaggerated his ability to drive a manual gearbox’d car when applying for the job.

Our favourite thing about the video - other than the gentle classical music in the background adding an extra touch of hilarity - is the excuse he drops at the 2min 9sec mark…

This used to happend to me everytime i left my car at a parking. I own a Mercedes 190e 16v with a dogleg. Each time i told them 1st gear is down and left. They act like smartasses and then i hear my gearbox breaking apart -.- No more valet parkers for me..

Can somebody please explain to me what’s so hard about pressing the clutch in, shifting the stick into gear and then slowly letting go off the clutch while giving a little bit of gas.

Have you ever tried to drive a car that has manual everything and even the clutch works by levers instead of cables or hydraulics.
This fiesta has power and smooth everything so why is it so hard?

My god. The dumbest valet driver ever. I won’t trust him if I wanted a Skyline over by me.

Driving stick is not a job requirement here.

A Fiesta can make those noises? At least I know I’m doing something right with mine…
