Im guessing you drive a diesel?

The htp will pull away with throttle input, but you have to let the clutch out soooooo slow haha.

Remember driving Pug diesels years ago - they would (with careful letting out of the clutch) let you pull away in 5th without stalling.

 

I always try to match my revs to speed so that the car doesn't lurch when changing gears (up and down).

When I was little (really little, I mean I can just remember the car) We had a Pug, think it was a 405, we traded it in at a garage and a couple of days later my dad was at the garage and someone had just taken the car back from a test driv. So he told the guy that it was a good, sound car and he should get it bought. Guy said yeah, but I didn't really want a car with a turbo. So my dad says "it doesn't have one."
