Off road driving technique

[Cuppa]

(otherwise known as TET)

I was trying to think how I could suggest that TET, as well as being an abbreviated form of The Evil Twin, may also be an abbreviated form of TETanus, but we all know that ET’s no arsehole don’t we.

Standby... I'm working on it

Cuppa does your car have a hand throttle?

[Cuppa]

Yep, sure does Winnie (it ain’t no ‘shopping trolley’).

Mine doesn't have one though wish it did

There is the answer to your problem.

It is very disconcerting to use the hand throttle on rough terrain, for the first couple of times. I had my feet hovering near the clutch and brake.

Yeah I reckon it might take a bit of practice. Gotta know what revs you’re gonna need before you need them. That only comes from experience. Might try the sponge first.

Set it at 2 grand and you can't go wrong... Cover it with your foot if you have to.

I might have to try the sponge as well. Mine's as jumpy as a rabbit when its at 2500rpm in lower gears. If you need to give it the berries will the sponge allow you to get the car revving?
