I didn't burn it out totally. And my clutch control was and is excellent.
But you probably do have a valid point, as I was doing a reverse round corner (slowly) :P
like turning it into a Private race car and not a Professional one.
And to add to my comment of the Micra...
It was during my "lessons", but I was an excellent driver at the time anyway.
And I learn't in 5 new micras all of them had different handling, like one had smoother steering and another had a smoother gearbox.
And with the really new one, you could smell the clutch burning.
My driving isn't much the same now, and I drive a 97 Charade.
(Full Lisence ftw!)
You should run cars with few miles on the clock carefully and slowly pick up the pace when you get up to like 500 miles or 1000 miles.
Just like I drove a brand new Nissan Micra with a few miles on the clock and nearly burnt out the clutch
