I don't think we all realize how lucky we all are with modern cars. This 1930's Ford Model A feels like a rolling time capsule of the era, including how difficult it is to drive. To go in depth, the Ford Model A has a button as an accelerator pedal, and you also have to double clutch every single gear. This is without a doubt one of the toughest drives and experiences in a car I've ever had - but was so amazing. It even came with a bench seat on the back of the car. To think that people did this every day because it was all they knew is awesome. Thanks for watching this guys!

Thanks for watching my experience guys!
Have you ever driven something like this?
ThatDudeinBlue nope, but I would love to drive and review one for my channel very soon
Never, but I should put it on my list!!
I drove a 29 ford roadster once with a cadillac 365. I tapped on the gas and i was already spinning the tire. I think these classic car reviews are great. Its important to appreciate the history and the roots of our car culture. Keep these going!
Thicc Boi Totally agree! I have a new appreciation for these early production cars now.
Haven't yet but I might as I have worked on before while volunteering at my local car museum
The pops and static are not camera vibration. Your camera audio electronics are picking up the ignition coil and spark plug leads from the distributor that have no shielding to prevent electrical scatter which was the norm back then because it didn't matter. This became a big problem when they decided to put radios in cars, and then technology improved to better harness ignition electricity and thus you would not hear this popping in the radio. Sometime open the hood on a damp evening and watch the occasional spark jump from the spark plug leads and distributor to the block. Perfectly normal for the time. Today's electronics have so much more sensitivity and they pick up all of this kind of environmental electricity. You did a great job driving the old girl, great car!
I just realized that. It goes with the exact firing of the engine.
Thanks for the clear explanation. It made the pops less annoying knowing the cause.
I thought my headphones were broken lol
exactly!.... took a video of a airplane magneto on a test stand, same thing happened.
TheSuperiorGolem same bruh
Clutch, clutch again, hand signal because no turn signal, turn hard because no power steering, adjust the spark, clutch, clutch again. Jesus Christ lol
Sergio Ruelas this is a manly mans car
This is nothing the model T was even worse with the early ones not even having electric start. Took someone with a set and fast reflexes to start their cars by turning a shaft on the end of the engine. Funny I bet I can explain the audio pops as I've driven a few of these. The coil pack thing (it's more like a modern coil pack than a distributor) actually buzzes if everything is set like it's supposed to be. I've seen those things interfere with radios on the other cars around them because they weren't under any kind of regulations when they were made and they were made to last over 100 years. I'd be willing to bet with improper tuning it would cause all kinds of interference that would appear like we get in this video.
You don't have to double into second, just when downshifting.
Power steering isnt too bad.
@@rapidrrobert4333 Sadly you do in a Model A, it doesnt have anything to prevent Gear scrubbing, so you put it in neutral to die down the RPMs.
Honestly the audio pops complement the era of the car and the music
This review should have been done in black and white with you in a tux lol
Next time!
still a great video, thanks for sharing that piece of history
ThatDudeinBlue I have a 65 mustang coupe with a 302 somewhat restomod with a 4 speed hurst if your ever in Vero beach Florida and want to do a review
justin hendrickson god that sounds beautiful I really hope he does go down to you for a video
I have a 1931 Tudor Sedan and you are correct, ... There is nothing quite like it. #1 general rule, ... NEVER lean against the doors when driving. You never know when they will open up which can be quite thrilling.
Please do many more cars like this. This was awesome
TheCarPassionChannel welllllll hello my dude
Valhalla hi
id like to contact him. i want him to show off the 50 buick when the resto is done. i want to see his surprise when he feels "power steering" in a car with no power steering. they had been developing the steering since 1923 and implemented almost 30 years later{cant say that about new cars}
12 year olds "Weld the diff and drift it"
Hoopties Limited "slam it on tarmacs and daily it XDD"
I hate being twelve
"LS swap it"
"Widebody it and put it on bags"
"Stance the fuck out of it"
The crackles actually give it a nice antique sound to match the car imo
In the 1930s it used to take americans 40 days to drive across country, this was why the highway construction in the 1950s was sutch a game changer for the united states
Who cares? Americans should still be taking the trains.
@Frankie Basile what
@@tommytruth7595 Nothing like sharing a trip with other people, especially considering how civilized everyone is these days. What a putz!
@Dagwood DogwoodWhy, walking is good exercise, especially if you are old, have bad legs or the weather is lousy. What are you talking about?! Trains are the way to go. You get on, there may be a drunken bum next to you, or someone talking on the phone the whole time, or someone really fat and smelly. The train could also get stuck in a tunnel for some time, giving everyone the opportunity to get acquainted really well. What could be more enjoyable?!
@@tommytruth7595 are you stupid? Foreign jealous bitch
Granny shifting, not double clutching like ya should!!
Layne White Literally the very first thing I thought of as soon as he mentioned double clutching.
...Too soon, junior.
All the comments like this have me rolling. It's amazing how used to that you actually get. I've had so many people tell me it's a pain to get a CDL because you have to learn it and even transmissions with syncros I do this with even though it's hell on a clutch. Honestly I'd be willing to bet my transmissions actually outlast most because they just don't have the wear inside due to how I shift because I'm taking the load off the transmission. Of course I wouldn't drive like this if it weren't for my truck. I developed the habit intentionally for a truck that doesn't even run right now because you can't get parts for it
Still better to wear out the clutch than the synchros. If the clutch goes (probably won't) then it will be alot easier and cheaper to replace than worn synchros.
A stock Model A transmission doesn't have any synchros.
@@TheRguru1 I can float gears literally blind flooded without scratching a gear on my 13 speed Eaton transmission. The only time I touch the clutch is to get in first and to reverse.
Best video I’ve seen on showing what it feels like to drive such a key vehicle from history!
RevMatchTV try Subaruwrxfan April fools tractor :)
It’s the vintage style solid state spark plug wires that messed up the audio. Great job man.
braydensdeals no its not he says in the video its the vibrations
RabbidPotatoe Gaming well he’s wrong, dipshit
@@rabbidpotatoegaming4514 lol You know nothing about old vehicles.
They are not insulated and straps.
There are no wires, they are brass straps going to the spark plugs.
I love how the fenders and running boards are dark blue, it looked black at first glance.
You are right. At first they do appear black. BTW, they originally were black.
A truck driver would be right at home driving this!
chrisjamesr77 I would shift without the clutch, which is how I shift my 10spd.
chrisjamesr77 yup!
The way the transmission is designed you could theoretically float the gears
Yes.
If people had to control the spark manually still, they would understand how a car actually runs much better.
EXACTLY!
during my mechanics course our teacher who was a old hot rodder, brought in a old seized model A four cyl, and boy was it simplistic compared to the V-6's and straights we were rebuild before, also turned out to be completely rusted solid, so not much could be done to save it, more a demonstration of how far we have come
Love these types of vids where Dave is himself and enjoys the oppurtunities life gives him. A youtuber who shows real emotions instead of faking it for views. Keep up the good work david. 👍
David is always genuine. It’s the secret of his success!
Is that my heart thumping or is there an audio problem on David’s Vid ?
I have the same thing not just you
@Mike Arredondo Yes, he said it in the video. The popping comes from the vibrations.
I wonder if it's from the spark
Mike Arredondo it's how shows were in the 30s with that pop
He addressed it at 02:03
When these Fords were built, driving was selecting a gear and going not traffic lights and stops signs every mile.
Yeah, that is why it is more complicated than it should be nowadays.
I would drive one of these babys just for the style alone, beautiful
Classy asf
I love your videos man! Glad to see other college kids into cars!
A wild bladed angel appeared!
I'm subbed 2 u
Bladed Angel hello Bladed-Senpai
Bladed senpai... I have to admit didn't expect you here
Next do a Model T. I've heard it described as trying to drive a car that uses cruise control all the time. The transmission/reverse/brake pedal set up totally messed me up.
Oh, and don't forget starting a Model T ether. Early ones had a hand crank that if done wrong could break your arm. No joke.
@@joshuabrown3525 Starting a Model A with the crank was a BEAR! It is MUCH easier to crank the Ford High Performance V-8 in a Sherman tank. Even if your "T" had an electric starter, the tiny 6 volt battery was good for maybe four tries, then crank it brother! Any Ford you cranked, you learned the "palm facing up" on the crank to keep a "kick-back" from breaking your arm. Timing needs to be fully retarded, very little hand throttle, choke on unless it was hot...
The T is way more difficult to handle. As a 21st century citizen you will have to re- program yourself just to take off with it. The A is very conventional by modern standards. One day practice is all it takes.
I had my farmer buddy try driving my T today and it absolutely freaked him out. Mr farm boy drive anything you throw at him didn't like the T.
he did okay driving it, but I get it. it's a whole different beast than most
Yeah, a self-driving car, in its early form lol. It had a hand throttle that was manually control, but nothing like a "pressure throttle pedal" (if that's even a term) that we have to do. At least it had a steering wheel: if you combined that driving style with a steering till (the earliest driving mechanism for the first cars) plus the weak brakes that early Model T's had and wow...would have a great car for getting into crashes lol we've come a LONG way when it comes to car safety since then.
The oldest car I've ever driven was a 1928 Buick Sedan. It also had double clutch. I drove it for the first time almost two years ago in Los Angeles and it took me two tries to get the hang of double clutching. Despite how difficult it was driving a vintage double clutch automobile at first, the Buick was so much fun to drive once you get the hang of it.
Super interesting to see a "Tuner car guy"s perspective on a 30s car
Yeah seriously. I drive a 3 on the tree to work every day, only one synchro, manual choke, manual steering, single reservoir manual brakes. But even to me that Model A looks a little tough to drive if you're new to it.
Yeah "it's got no power steering"
Historic footnote. There was a big push or fad in the early to mid 70's to restore model A's
Jared D it’s interesting how 70s cars are as old now as this thing was then
I love the older cars you've been reviewing. More classics!
The only way that happens is if he can get in touch with people who have older cars. Like Jay Leno has.
I thought that my computer was breaking because of the pops. This was fun to watch though
You don’t have to keep moving the spark adjust while your driving. You use the spark adjust when you start it. When you start it you pull the spark advance down about three notches, once it starts you can advance the spark all the way down. You don’t have to adjust the spark every time you stop. You make it look a lot harder than it really is.
I've heard all the way down isn't even the best with it unless you adjust your spark advancement to only go to a certain point. Beyond 30 degrees of advancement, the engine becomes less efficient, and provides no real gain. 30 degrees of advancement is all your need, so whatever point after that the lever can go isn't necessary to ever use. He definitely makes it harder to drive than it is, but it's because he doesn't know much of the Ford Model A.
something quite different from the normal car reviews. Need more of this, this was awesome!
When cruising around at like 20+mph the spark should be about 3/4 the way down
Yup! He'll soon burn the points. (Ask me...)
Awesome to see you getting behind the wheel of a true oldie! My grandfather had and worked on multiple Model T’s and that is where my passion for cars started
My dad taught me match speed to eliminate 95% of the double clutching so long as you use correct heavy transmission gear oil. You shift early and slowly and will get sense of timing your shift. Mitchel Transmission in California rebuilds original gear boxes with synchros. Nurex has an automatic spark advance accessory based on a 85 year old design that eliminates manual spark advance. High compression heads and B cams with new rear gear ratios will make Model A an easy cruiser at 50 mph. Join a club and find how others have found solutions to problems like radiator spitting coolant.
One of the Model A's failings was the OEM water pump and leather seals, that don't if you push 50 (with a low rear axle ). I understand somebody is making a modern type seal replacement water pump for them. With about a 3.30 rear-end, they'll cruise 50 pretty easy. If you have the "four and a dime" ratio, she'll pull but strain at 50 MPH. A friend has a Model AB 50HP dually stake bed one-ton truck, and I think it has a 5-something axle in it! 40 MPH is about all you want to try in it. With 1500 lbs of watermelons in the back, 30 MPH was probably as fast as you wanted to go.
Great video! But ragtime music in the background? Wrong time period...
Had a wonderful time meeting you David! Hopefully Colin’s car wasn’t too difficult to drive haha. Can’t wait until you can review the mustang some time! It’s been under the axe recently but it’s almost running again
One of your better reviews, honestly you were happy, excited + learning things. Great video David
Loved this video. It just proves that there's more to driving cars than what's fastest or what corners best. Driving itself is a pleasure that too many take for granted
Double clutch and first is down towards your thigh? Congratulations, you just learned how to drive a big rig. We still use this process today.
Yaaaasssss!
I've been waiting for this video ever since you mentioned it in your livestream! - even though I'm 17, classic cars are where it's at for me!
You've just made my day...
Also, to answer your question, *yes!* You should definitely drive more classic/vintage cars!
P.S
How could you drive a Model A without trying the "Arooga" horn?!
Missed. Opportunity...
Of course he should do more vintage cars. Nissan 350z's get old after a while.
Brodie Bennett That'd be dope to spice things up
I've tried he won't review my Alfa Romeo.
Jimmy Grant
Why not?! It's an Alfa!
Right, that's it... I'll have to shout at him in the comment section of every video until he does!
We gotta see that Alfa! ;)
The way I see it only true car guys can respect automotive history and appreciate what was once cutting edge.
David I love that you review these old classic cars too. Really can tell you're just a car guy who loves this stuff. Keep up the good work
My grandfather has a pristine 1929 International truck I've driven a couple times now. His father bought the truck brand new and my grandpa learned how to drive in it on their farm. It certainly is an experience to drive.....or even start up for that matter lol. Brakes are horrifyingly almost non-existent, it really doesn't like warm days (steams out the radiator cap), and finding the sweet spot on the ignition timing lever is always a trick.
Really enjoyed this one David! And that's really cool you got to experience something that old. Can't really say there's anything quite like it...
You don't actually need to double clutch into second. If you wait a little bit before putting it into second, you can put it in with no grinding. I've never had any issues going into third either. Spark only needs to be adjusted when you are starting the car. Put it up, push the starter button and when you hear it fire, put it all the way down. Cool that you got to drive one in such good condition, though! I'm glad you got to experience this car that I love!
Drive some 60's and 70's muscle cars.
I wanna see him in a gasser
Wonderful video! Tons of fun and charm in experiencing the wonderful, legendary Model A thru your eyes. Definitely do more classic car videos. SO nice to see young folks stepping back in time and enjoying the trip.
My grandfather had the model A with a rumble seat for his first car! This makes me happy, I like videos like this!
Hey, I was talking with Ed when I was on vinwiki and he was saying you might enjoy driving my Yugo!
Also I have a 1967 Oldsmobile delmont 88 you would enjoy.
Yes this needs to happen
I swear moderns cars have lost their personality this looks so classy and unique, now most cars look like the modern Subaru Impreza.
Buricrats have regulated variation out of car design
Judgey19XX : Or electric shavers.
Harrison Ashley all the companies are copying eachother. They’ve been doing that since the start of automobiles
Yup, efficency when done right leaves no room for style. I am in the "hate every single unnecessary electric system" kinda guy. The fact my gas pedal is controlled by a circuitboard scares me, and do not get me started on automatic gear shift. There is no larger fiend in this world.
I am a truck driver.
Great video! It was interesting seeing a first experience driving an old car like that! Keep up the good work David! 👍
Great Video! Love the fact of a young guy trying out old tech and liking it! I drive Big Trucks for a living and STILL running 1930's tech on the transmissions lol
Great content :)
-A satisfied subscriber
Absolutely 😎 would love to see more like this
Awesome vid, David! Nice to see something different like this posted!
My Dad restored a 1930 model A just like this one. I think that it was called a "Super Sport" model it had the side tire mounts. We had a lot of fun with it and it was a beautiful restoration.
The audio pops kind of add to the style add of the video :D Love it, nice seeing something extraordinary!
That's so funny, I totally was thinking that to myself as a joke while editing this!
ThatDudeinBlue Works out perfectly for me! :D
I wish I could say the same, they were annoying to me. Still a cool car though
Don't blame you friend, thanks for sticking it out anyways!
Gázser Márk I was thinking the same thing!
Hey my grandpa has a couple of these and I've learned to drive them. Took a lot of arguing and yelling to get the hang of it
Wow very crazy how the car has progressed in the last 100 years. AMAZING to see. Great video David!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
The classic and antique vehicles are my favorite. Please continue to do them.
People still drive around double clutching. Most heavy trucks, like a manual transmission semi truck needs to be double clutched
Old design gearboxes wasn't equipped with synchronizers so You have to match engine revolution with revolutions on gearbox each time You want to change Gear, also u can perform a clutchless shift ups but it needs some expierence to do cuz u have to shift up in the exact moment and take of throttle for a bit, also You can try clutchless downshift but instead of taking throttle off You need to add some to match higher revs on lower gear but that needs hell of expierence to do. Also all the gearboxes in motorcycles are non synchonious today
The steam powered was easier after you got it hot!
After you stop, add wood/coal,and water to go some more..lol..
Or just take the horse.
Steam powered cars were ridiculously complicated to start, it took from 15 minute to half an hour, and you had to allocate another 5 minutes to shut it down properly so it didn't develop scale.
Really enjoying the channel. I've been subbed for around a year and a half and have seen nearly all of your reviews. These cars remain an inspiration to me to make my RX-7 FC the best car it can be :)
My favorite ep. by far
Wouldn't have been right without the music, and for some reason I pictured this in black and white
Yeah? The music was decades old and Scott Joplin was long gone too when this car was new.
Love that you are expanding your horizons. You are now becoming an automotive historian!
Awsome video!!!! Old cars are awsome! Keep doing what your doing David awsome job
You don't double clutch 1 to 2. Get rolling on 1, off gas let RPMs match instantly then go right into 2nd.
There were probably great racers from that time
I couldn't imagine how much skill it took to race stuff like this!
paulo dimabayao no Dodge Brothers built way better cars.
ThatDudeinBlue not as hard as you would think actually. If you're used to the technology it would be pretty natural and it's the racers of the that specific time that we really have to thank for everything cars had in the 50s and 60s from the factory. Those original hot rodders probably had potential to understand more about how a car worked and many of our modern engineers have the potential to today. Thing is they just didn't know exactly why what they were doing worked only that it did. Those guys were doing more than 100 miles per hour with that technology on the salt flats. To think it was roughly 20 years before was the first time someone reached 90mph. Of course a lot of people died trying to go fast and a lot of people died because they made something that couldn't work. That actually how Hooker got started was a man in a small shed building parts just to go fast from nothing
hahahaha maybe they had races between other Model A's, kinda like today's NASCAR, where all the cars are roughly equivalent and have either "Ford, Chev or Toyota" names applied to them, with fake paint schemes to slightly resemble actual current passenger cars. And there were "hot rodders" in the old days who modified the little engine to increase the power far beyond the stock engines.
I loved this one. You should do some more cars like this. I love diversity in cars when watching your reviews man!
Best car vid you have done! Awesome job.
You need to drive an SRT-10 sometime, you've done all the Ford muscle truck now do the Dodge and Chevy (454ss or Callaway if you can find it)
You should definitely do more classic cars, they are the most fun and I would pick them over current cars any day. So if you have the opportunity to do one take it with both hands!
Now a little real talk. I really enjoyed the video because Model A, but as a fellow TH-camr I am well aware of the 10 minute mark. Hit or exceed it and you can load up the video with ads. This was the first time I noticed sections of just black screen at the tail end. Yes, when I watch your videos I watch it ALL. You placed a total of 8 seconds of just black screen there. You can blame it on lazy editing, but given the total time of the video and the length of the actual footage shown it is too close to be a coincidence. I believe you use premiere like I do. It won't render just black screen at the tail end unless you put it there. Do not fall in this pitfall David. If you can't make it to 10 minutes deal with it. Don't try to stretch it out using these tactics because it is very obvious.
The Dutch Texan I prefer that over youtubers that just put boring parts in the middle of their videos, most people wont even notice the black screen.
You are probably right. But since I am a TH-camr myself I can't stand for tactics like that. I understand it is his livelihood, but if you can't make it to 10 minutes don't put blank sections in your video just so you can.
For the record, I am a long time subscriber and David has inspired me in a great way. But it is not going to stop me from calling him out on it. To me it brings down the quality of video. If it comes back in future videos it could drive me to unsubscribe. Not because I am a hater, but because David turned into something I can not allign myself with. Fake.
The Dutch Texan yeah, im not saying that its a good thing and id rather not ser it either. But tou gotta do what you gotta do. Maybe some of his footage was unusable and he had no other option. Hes still the best automotive channel imo, but you're right that doing that is wrong.
never have driven something like that looks like you had quite the journey! thanks for sharing!
One of your more interesting reviews. Thanks for expanding your horizons and ours.
See. You can't text and drive while driving this. I say we bring back simplicity. We'll have safer drivers.
Did this come with the Ford performance pack?
I'm worried people aren't going to know this was a joke 😖
No, this is the eco boost model.
It has the coyote ecoboost running a gallo 24
That was great David! That looks like a great experience driving a Model A! Hell yeah you should branch out and do more vids like this! You're reaction at the end was hilarious lol!
thank you people who keep their old stuff forever so the next generation can appreciate it later down the road. You guys are legends
My Dad restored a 1930 Model A. It’s definitely a special car.
TheUnlimited001 My family used to have a 1930 Model A, which we recently sold. Belonged to my grandpa, who was a mechanic and racecar driver. His Model A was hotrodded out as much as possible while staying true to the car, no real engine swaps. He started with a 1928 block and worked his magic. I miss that car a lot.
It looks rather Bonnie and Clyde. But they liked the Ford V8 Sedan.
Indrid Cold correct! they loved the Ford flathead V8! it truely held up to tons of abuse on the non paved roads.

@@pkerit308 and how old are you
Im watching this cause im planning on getting a model A as a daily driver for my first car 😂🙏 im 21
@@cocoproductions3645 very important question
Double clutching is not that hard lol. You get used to it. That's how manual semi trucks are double clutch or floating the gears
LongWhite Line I’m not a trucker so forgive my ignorance but, why would anyone bother with a manual truck ? Seems far more hassle than reward considering the weight and that manuals typically don’t haul as much as automatics do
@@Justin-qe3tj manual trucks have PLENTY of power just trhe same as an automatic just depends on your powertain for instance the freightliner cascadia I driver before my current truck handled way different and had power on demand cause if the manual. The automatic on the other hand is a different story. Slow to get up to speed and the computer always thinks it knows better than you do. I miss my manual truck but I drive an automatic because the truck they gave me was brand new
@@Justin-qe3tj secondly I would add yes usually manual weighs a little more than an automatic nowadays cause they're building autos from scratch not modifying a manual to be an auto so tthe automatic transmissions are a little lighter. But otherwise they can haul the same amount of goods for the most part
Good stuff. My great grandparents took an A from South Carolina to California and back on an epic vacation across the southwest in 1932. To the best of my knowledge, they had no troubles at all.
I never met my grandfather, but that's all he ever drove and what my dad learned to drive on.Model A's are big in my family and it's cool to see you do a video on one.
David, will you be at Caffeine and Octane on sunday?
drift it.
ROKR FILMS I think you're on the wrong channel...this isn't TheSlapTrain 😂
LMAO I know just doing my daily trolling.
ROKR FILMS LMFAO ur a god
No car deserves to be humiliated by drifting it.
😂😂
I might not be a typical of your viewers but I love vehicles of all ages. This having the history makes it more important story to tell. Its a cool car.
this vid was awesome david! props to colin!
No need to play with the timing that much. Only fully retarded on start up. After start up put it right in the middle. Should only need to drop it to full advance if driving extended time at high revs....assuming the initial distributor timing was set correctly. Also, if you just use 1st gear to get the car rolling then shift into 2nd almost immediately there's no need to double clutch. Going from 2nd to 3rd before the 15mph mark is a smooth shift also. Car may lug at first, but once you get her rolling it's all good. Tons of fun to drive!!!!
Model A's are easy to drive,try driving a model T those are harder to drive
Exactly...
Yeah.
AMEN and Hallelujah! Model A's have four wheel mechanical brakes, but you can adjust them to really stop you. The Model T had BRAKE ON THE FLYWHEEL!!! Like a really old John Deere or lots of lawn tractors used to use. BREATHE on the steering wheel of a Model T going 30 MPH and RUN OFF THE ROAD! Not kidding...I got the "T" I drove up to about 17 MPH and chickened-out. Three feet off the ground in a 1200 lb (including two ol' fat f*rts) "car" on bicycle tires...It's getting dark? Get out and pour water into the acetylene generator on the running board and light the "Headlights". I've seen two lightning bugs gettin' friendly put out more light.... He ain't felt SHAKE until he's in a "T-Model".
I actually liked the audio pops, it kind of added to the old music like an old record player. Loved the video.
I really enjoyed this video David, and I agree with you about doing more videos showing cars from the past that started everything 😁😁👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Shifting up you Don't need to double declutch. To shift up, you press the clutch, listen to the engine revs die down then put it into the next higher gear.
Shifting down to do have to double declutch essentially to raise the engine speed to slip it into gear.
It was made to go 30 mph not 70 mph
i’ve seen this car on the road and now i’m watching it from my favorite youtuber, awesome:)
I love when you do videos like this!
Lol i drive a double clutch every day, semis still use em.
Still way more conventional than driving a Model T.
I really enjoyed that Classic car review David, would love to see more.
"Turn the key and go" a phrase that we'll look back on with nostalgia as keyless ignitions become the norm.
granny shifting, not double clutching like you should. xD
