    Top secret one off spy cars do that, Your missiles are out of warranty.

    They need to be tested to ensure they still work and not going to explode if you sneeze. You can get extended warranties for about £500,000 a year.


    If the clutch stuck down then putting it into gear shouldnt make any difference. Unless you matched the speed/revs. Bit when you stop it would have stalled.

    I had a VW Bora that did that sometimes,just used to hook my foot under the clutch pedal and lift it up, went to VW and and they said the pedal bushes need lubricating so the fix was just to spray the bushes with a lubricant, did not do it after that

    Jammed underneath ill fitting floor mats? (this is why you should only buy mats made for your specific car).
