No time? blue News summarizes for you
- The RTL2 millionaire family “The Geissens” live in Saint-Tropez and Monaco.
- Shania and Davina Geiss got their driving license in automatic cars in France. There you can take an additional test within two years in order to be able to drive cars with a gear shift.
- Dad Robert wants to teach his daughters this, but he is reaching his limits.
After their exciting New York trip, Carmen and Robert Geiss are back in their adopted home of Saint-Tropez. In the current double episode of “The Geissens – a terribly glamorous family” (Mondays, 8:15 p.m., RTLZWEI), the millionaire couple dedicates themselves to their newly acquired property. Shania and Davina also get an exclusive driving lesson from their dad. If that works out?
The first item on the agenda is the fence inspection. The Geissens’ new property must ultimately be secured. “In Saint Tropez, break-ins happen so often,” says 19-year-old Shania. “Davina and I have even been there live, that’s amazing!”
Thieves once cleared out a friend’s apartment in broad daylight while everyone was eating: “Watches and jewelry – everything was gone.” Carmen Geiss also knows her stuff: “They’re the sneaker gangsters,” says the 58-year-old, “they usually break in during the day, they’re not armed, they’re harmless.”
Nevertheless, the Geissens do everything to ensure that “the bad guys drive past our house,” as Carmen says. A fence around the property should deter thieves. But there are still a few gaps in it, especially on the uneven ground, as the Geiss women discover: “Thieves with masses of models can get through under the fence, that’s not safe enough for me!” Davina complains regarding an open spot. The employee of the fence company assures that earth will be piled up to close the gaps. Carmen’s announcement: “The fence has to be great!”
Shania and Davina fight with the clutch
The two Geiss sisters are convinced that they can drive a car well. But they both got their driving licenses in automatic cars and are only allowed to drive these cars. “We can’t drive gears,” admits Shania.
Robert wants to change that: “Dad now finally wants to explain to us how a stick-shift car works,” says Shania, and Davina is happy: “Then I can tick that off on my bucket list too.”
Background to the exclusive private driving school lesson: After passing the driving test, you can take an additional test in France within two years in order to be able to drive cars with a manual transmission. Robert hopes that his daughters will be ready by autumn. A Japanese small car from the large family fleet serves as a test vehicle.
Shania isn’t comfortable with the whole thing: “I’m scared!” moans the 19-year-old as she gets in. “You have to press the clutch, left, left, press it all the way down!” Robert explains the gear shifting principle to his daughter. At least it doesn’t stall the car immediately when it starts moving. “I find it a bit very complicated,” she groans.
Shania Geiss: “Nobody needs a manual car these days!”
This might perhaps be because Robert lets them drive directly to the mountain. “Take a little double-declutching!” he asks his daughter and is annoyed: “You’re letting the clutch slip – you can’t do it!”
Shania is totally frustrated following her first attempt: “I haven’t checked how to drive a car like that,” she says and protests: “Nobody needs a stick-shift car these days!”
Davina is next: “I can only do better than Shania,” she says optimistically. And she actually manages to start off on the hill without any major stutters. Shania is flabbergasted: “Why did it just happen like that? Is that sport mode? “Dad didn’t explain sport mode to me!” she defends herself.
Davina: “That’s not sport mode, that’s first gear.” Robert is satisfied with his eldest daughter’s driving skills: “You have a bit more feel for it than your sister,” says the 60-year-old appreciatively. Davina is happy: «Did you hear? “I’m a better driver,” she rubs her sister’s nose. But she waves it off: “Pfft! You’re better than anything!”
However, the sisters agree on what they think of cars with gearshifts – nothing at all: “It’s really, really bad! “I don’t know why there are still cars like that these days,” Davina says, “impossible to drive!” Robert Geiss rolls his eyes: “The way my children behave while driving is impossible. “We now have to plant rubber trees in Saint-Tropez, otherwise they can’t be allowed into the streets,” he says, coming up with the usual practical solution.
