Struggling a bit with 1st gear shift from stop - is it me or the car?

Yep, that's what I'm noticing. How do the rpms look during this process? Is it normal for them to rev slightly before you are off?

Last night it was so much harder for some reason, but today was better. Maybe the clutch was tired? Ha.

All good advice given.

Learn the point where your clutch "bites" and then you marry the correct amount of throttle into it.

This car is one of the more difficult to drive, AT FIRST. It seems jerky, temperamental, and unforgiving….however, when you get it right - there is not a more rewarding car to drive!

It is not uncommon to take a few weeks before you "gel with the car". Once you do, your skills are graciously rewarded!

That's why they say, "It is a driver's car." Take your time and become a TRUE DRIVER! Not just someone getting from point A to B….you will be someone who cannot wait to get off their "A" and just "B".

There. Now you have just thought more about this than you were supposed to. Put some miles on the car…you'll get it!
