for those who want to learn the ride in a manual diesel, it is even easier. Engage first gear, let the clutch come up and the car will start rolling on the overrun. Disengage the clutch again, shift to second and re-engage the clutch. By that time you may start thinking about pushing the throttle to further increase speed. All this of course if you are not in a real hurry
