Talking Refuse To Learn To Clutch

That's O.K., the bus is fine too .

My son's first car was a 1963 VW DeLuxe # 117 Beetle with sliding sunshine roof, he's in his 40's now and still doesn't like slushboxes but has a few so his wife doesn't have to work a clutch .

Haha, my kids choice was the 240D or a bike!

I think this car made them learn to pay attention, understand and anticipate the actions of other drivers.
