Manual or automatic? Dillema. It’ll have to be manual. First driving leson, River Street South Yarra, a thin stream of a street with cobbeld oblong factories. The instructor is waiting as I exit work. Since 15 I’ve fantasisied of getting my license and now here is the first step. I’ve driven rust riddled paddock bombs around friends farms in the country. Dust kicking up through the floor, choking. Nothing has prepared me for the sheer terror of driving on the road with other people- in a manual! A kangaroo jump start hop down the road is not a good sign. I flood the carburettor with petrol and the smell seeps into the cabin.Off again. My hand glides over the shiny gear knob. Pushing the clutch in is harder than expected like using a leg weight machine at the gym. Co-ordination of clutch accelerator and brake is a bit of a 3 stooges sketch, but not as funny!
My whole body is feeling stretched as if I’m on a medieveal torture rack. I hesitate on the corner of Toorak and Punt and someone takes an opportunity and fails to give way to me. The instructor seizes the wheel like a rebounder on a basketball team and propells the car forward at firghtening speed, pulling alongside the other car he winds down his window and spits a machine gun torent of vitriol at the offending driver. I am frozen, locked in a glacier looking out, but unable to move- Will I ever be able to do this driving thing? The thing I have dreamed about over and over-imagined- lying awake making movie pictures on the roof at night.
I know everything about cars- except how to drive one!
