I'm so much used to quick coordinations between the clutch and brake (paddling as reffered to here) after using a Premier 118 NE whose engine used to behave crazy each day.

My brain had to learn the pedal pressure over again almost everyday!!

Sometimes managing that car in Peddar road upward traffic towards the city was hell.

Now,... it is a breeze with the OHC's FI and ECM control. But it will always be brake and clutch - never the half-clutch.

But I feel "Paddling" is the best as the response time is quick and does not irritate the driver behind you each time your car backs up on his face. (I somehow hate the L 'board'ies for this, but have to take them in a good spirit. hehe)
