That's funny - Lisa does that constantly, even if I'm only doing 10mph!

I'm not that bad, honest...

Here's a tip for next time. Floor the clutch, raise the revs to about 6000rpm, then move your left foot sidewards from the clutch, so that the clutch pedal can freely jump up(and floor the throttle when your left foot leaves the clutch pedal.

It won't be the clutch that's burning  s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:  

Oh and make sure there's some room in front of you  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Edit: And don't do that when Slacey is with you  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:
