[Spridgets] Driving Schools

>From the BMW circles I belong to, the best way to put it is "..brakes are
cheaper than clutches, so have fun."

I tried heel/toe, but my feet are too big to make it fun and comfortable.
Double clutching is great with a car you know.

Careful when you try that in a friend's car that does not know about that
with them in the passenger seat.  It is fun watching them reach for the
fitzle and grab bars.

What?? Everyone doesn't do this on their spridgets?  Actually I rarely

I've always double clutched on all my driver cars over these long years.
Maybe that is why I've never replaced a clutch - even after as much as 160K
miles. I guess I'd rather replace brakes than the clutch.
