I just couldn't get the hang of double declutching on the Austin 7,the noise was terrible when I tried.
One night I went pubbing it with the friend who was teaching me to drive. After several beers I got in to drive home(you could do that in those days) and double- declutched all the way perfectly!
Even sober the next day I could still do it and I never lost the knack. Never really understood how I was doing it either.
