I usually use the technique of "Make it move without using the accelerator". I also ask them to hold the accelerator at arbitrary rev count so they get a feel for how much twitchier a manual's throttle tends to be.

Seems like the key is learning to operate the clutch with low revs before learning to do it with high revs. But that's just my experience. Would also probably help minimize clutch cooking

 

......OH and i don't really know if Sherry want to or NOT?...i mean it like I DO...THEN I DON'T! ...............I DON'T CARE, WHAT EVER!!!.

"Don't get me wrong i want her to learn and help out on the long drive back"

 

Count me in please!! No permission needed here either.... Geoff loves driving the X-Terra for the day every now and then!!

Possibly bringing a friend with me...if not then I'll have a seat open too!!

Thanks!!

Julie is in with permission to drive my car... tentatively as she wants a couple of drives to see how comfortable she is driving it.

 

Hurry up and get her out on the road so she can get some practice...from now on until September she does the driving.

 

Okay...did you guys tell your wives about this??? There are 8 sign ups...7 drivers and only 1 rider.

I am going to get Marjene out on the road soon. Pencil her in as a rider right now, maybe she will have my car, maybe she won't.

 

I spoke with Sherry today, and she's in as a rider. Mike tried to teach her to drive...good job Mike for trying.

 

Sherry will go as a rider!...........haha NO for her!
