I'm trying to get G to drive it but she won't. no power steering. adjusting seat so you can get clutch to floor means very close to wheel. It's not the easiest car to drive for non-car-crazy folks. (quite easy if you drive any stick and have set your nasty Duc up to be immediate response etc.).
We'll get her in it soon. maybe Miata practice for bit? (I love them and need an excuse).

I thought the mondial has that crazy electronic clutch and no clutch pedal? |

Oh hell no. That was a quite small batch of mondial Ts. "valeo". It was te first of their automated clutch cars. Nope. Ours has a nice metal gated shifter and three pedals. |
