Hey guys although this has only happened to me about five times, I thought I should bring this up as someone may know the solution.
This happens only on cold starts, driving the car moderatly, pushing down the clutch pedal would cause the car to completly die. There would not be any abrupt movement, the tach would simply just drop to 0 with all the dashboard lights lit on. The car will fire right back up.
This has happened to me a couple times when coming to a full stop whilst depressing the brake and clutch, and also inbetween gear shifts.
Anyone have some useful advise?.
Cheers.

More info please...
Stock car? Light flywheel?
If stock, could be the DME Relay. If you don't know when it was replaced might as well just do it. And carry one in the glove compartment.
