I was on an old deserted road, and I asked my brother if I could have a shot, to which he replied "wtf, why not."
So we changed seats, and I jumped behind the wheel. Turned the key, and grinned a big stupid mad grin as the 2 litre burst into life. A bit big to start on I thought though. John told me to dip the clutch, select first, and bring it up slowly, and to balance the revs. So I brought up the clutch, way too fast, and stalled. Then lol'd. Then facewheel'd and hit the horn >.<. Second time I brought it up slower, but too slow, and was at 4k revs before the clutch came to the biting point, and wheelspun, which was fun . But damn the accelerator is so sensitive, and soon it was time to change to second, so I just put the clutch in and John did it for me, as this was my first time. Into third I did myself, at about 35. Christ, speed climbs quickly when you're behind the wheel, and before I knew it I was changing into fourth at 50mph. Then John said right bring us to a stop so I dipped the clutch and slowly eased on the brake, and came to a halt. Then I started shaking from the adrenalin.

Nothing like it, driving. Can't wait for my next 'lesson'. Those were some of the best 40 seconds of my life

specially fun when you're new to the clutch and 60 (+-) cars are behind you on a crowded intersection, always fun.

I did that 3 times in a row at a set of lights. 4th go I got it right, with a huge shake of the head by the driver behind me
Stalling sucks. Learnt from it though...I always put my foot down now Only stalled once since passing my test 4 years ago.

Mazda 3 Sport, '06.

Did better than my brother, who stalled 5 times before he got moving on his first shot And equaled John when he wheelspun the car his driving instructor had. Rofl >.<

Driving with a clutch is fun. My brother's Clio has a really heavy clutch, then it goes really soft - it's really hard to get it just right - and practicing for the first time ever was quite hard with it! Mind you, I'm excited to start driving come September!

2 liter is not at all a large engine, what are you talking about? It is a small 4-cylinder, my saturn has a 1.9 liter, and only 100 hp.

I'd be scared shitless having to drive this when first learning. Watching all the 18-wheelers and trucks go by and you're stuck in a pregnant rollerskate.

That's because you Americunts have your stupid big ass saloon cars that handle like boats and your SUVs that are like 10x bigger than they really need to be. You lot may have bigger engines, but they produce a tiny amount of power. You can get like 180hp out of a 3.2, we can get like 180hp out of a 1.6, maybe smaller.
