feirce clutch

[series70boy]

hi all

this may sound very daft to some of you but here i go

as you guys may well know i am only 16, i have tried driving my mums grande punto and took to it straight away. Clutch control was no issue and the steering was soooooo light.

anyways the other week mum said, have a go in your little star, mum said you will hate not having power steering... i did not mind the steering in the slightest

but the clutch is just soooo sooooo feirce i could not drive it

it has more power than the punto so i wanted to put less throttle on.... but on the other hand i needed more throttle... when i put more throtle on it was too much!!!!!

i need to know; do you guys think i just need to get used to it, was i just apprihensive or is there something i could do to make it easier to drive??

sorry to sound like a daft novice

and thanks

you must not forget dude it is an old car older than most on this site and mechanical parts will be stiffer than more modern cars but give it time and you will get the hang of it.

when i was learing drove my mums polo for a bit and it was way diffrent to my car

good luck and have fun

A fierce clutch will teach you more control mate, you will get used to it dont worry!

Once you go back to the punto you wont like it as much

Good luck with the motor buddy

Just practise man, always best learning in an older car, I now hate the way a lot of newer cars drive
