traffic?

[carl_w]

Missus drove the car for the first time today. Apart from some clutch shenanigans (more throttle, more gentle with the clutch!) she did OK. But she's pretty keen to take it to work one morning -- 8 miles of stop/start traffic, at least half of that in a jam!

Should I let her? Bear in mind I've had the "clouds of steam out of the passenger side of the bonnet" once -- though not since Offord's sorted the second fan.

Thoughts?

Mines sat in traffic going to work before, no problems...although it would prefer the open road.

Drive mine in traffic no problems. Things to note:
It's not good for the clutch.
If the car's got an overheating problem, that's when it'll become apparent
It can be tiring on the ankle leaving you (or the Mrs) open to making more clutch control mistakes
It's addictive, and you'll have to have the "it's my car" conversation

Just make sure she watches the temp. guage, and knows who's boss...
