Having replaced most of the gubbins in my car (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9567) , the roads dried today out and the sun shone, so I could test her out. How unexpected.
I did a few hundred miles on the new motor. It is very nice indeed.
Apologies for the wind noise but you get the drift of it.
I took the Bluestone Heath Road in Lincolnshire. One of the best kept motoring secrets. Near Cadwell.
I am restricting myself to half throttle and 3,000 rpm. That means the car still goes like a bat out of hell.
3,000 rpm is 82mph. The new gearbox and clutch feel lovely.
Cant quite see to point of a 5 speed with a 2.88 rear diff (sorry to disagree boys)
I have created possibly three of the most boring films in history I know. Unless you like E types
In the middle film, I nearly get a pheasant sized dent around 7.45.
Sorry about the language. Then it looks like 2 chaps holding hands (nothing wrong with that).
You might think it is dull, I think it is very exciting.
