If you've got the clutch in and you press the brake you get the brakes
but you can let the clutch out and it doesn't engage the engine which is a bit scary when you want... no.. when you NEED engine breaking to help slow the car down because the drum brakes are very, very weak.

My dad's got some upgrades that he'll do over the winter.

It also has indicators AND semaphore signals.. but... when you put the indicators on the arms don't just come out and stay out they rise up and down with the lights so it sort of does a funny dance.

Nice and nippy though from the 950cc engine. Surprisingly comfy despite having leaf-spring suspension in the back and being wooden framed it's very squeaky, bit like driving an old shed down the road.
