My brother smashed a ring in his nissan shifting from 5th to 3rd for a nippy overtaking manouvre - 3rd would have been fine but he bounced off the gate and it went nicely into 1st as he lifted the clutch. Made a nasty noise for a split second til he realised.
I've stuck a 1.0 corsa in second multiple times from 90mph and the cambelts never failed.
Double declutch and give it a damn good blip...
You do *know* how to change out of first gear, don't you sir?
Or was that not quite how you meant it?
At least it doesn't record *where* you did Vmax. Probably you were on the autobahn, I expect. ;-)
It was on a six lane private test track m'lud...
Tim S Kemp ( snipped-for-privacy@timkemp.karoo.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :
I don't *think* that paying a few quid for a toll for the M6 means that it's officially a "private test track", Tim...
Anyone else think the toll plaza in the middle of the M6 toll is hilarious? The uprising of diesel powered repmobiles makes a big grey cloud as they nail the accelerator away from the toll to get back into the 3 lane 90 ish cruise...
It's fantastic isn't it?
Hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAA *cough* hahahahaha
