Sooo.....

Took my daughter for a driving lesson in her manual car today, got almost to the top of a VERY steep hill.... and she stalled the car and needed me to do a hill start and get her going again.

Managed to start the car first go without any drama, but my left leg was jumping like a puppy having its tummy scratched for the next half hour (not the smoothest clutch manoeuvre either). As a matter of fact, everything was shaking from the inside out.

No, I am not a nervous driver, and I wasn't scared to do it, but now I have the strength of a wet noodle all down my left side - leg and arm - and still very shaky.

Did have to pull over and laugh though - so glad I have an automatic - I haven't done a hill start like that one in fifteen years (and that was with two working legs).

Won't go that way again
