    Hi,
    I'm giving my friend a few lessons in a place you don't need insurance etc to drive so all that is ok. Just wondering, if he throws me a few bob, is it really worth it? Is he doing more damage then he is paying for? He's doing all the usual starting off things, conking out, spinning the weels, more conking out, engine reving, bad gear changing everything you can think of, and when I say conking out I don't just mean the car stops, the engine turns off and the car shakes like there is an earthquake :eek:

    Is it worth my while do you folk reckon?

    Yeah, a lesson or two can't really do any significant damage. It's only if he's driving like that, in your car, all the time.

    I'd say I'll have to put up with another 6 or so hours of it, I'm starting him off with hillstarts because in my experience, once you master the hill start, everything else is a breeze. Of course, speed and awareness are a different story but control wise and car motion wise hillstarts are the big problem everyone has, or was it just me :D
