I think that you should be abel to stole the engine if you releases the cluch without giving gas/to fast, and the indicators should not turn of it you hit something.
Hi Simon, and welcome to the LFS forums, if you notice on that blue line up near the top you'll see "search" (or go here for advanced search), where you can search for topics you are unsure have been brought up.
I agree was thinking the same thing just a couple hours to days ago, its kinda happened to me before, when use my laptop, when ever that is, my keyboard has a tendancy to drop out and ive been foot to the floor or fingure on the button then bang green lights car doesnt move lol its actually really quite funny but not when your mid pack.
Anyway +1 for stalling and stealing someones engine.
