Driving a short distance with a broken accelerator cable

Hi There!

I have a 1961 VW Bug. The accelerator cable broke. Would it cause harm to drive it to my mechanic about 3 blocks away by using the clutch, brake and maybe having to start and stop the engine? No hills and maybe a couple of stop signs along the way. Or should I just have it towed in?

Thanks!

I decided to get it towed:)
