Those noises weren't crunchy gearchanges, just Craig's excited bowells.
Nice one mate!

Lol Craig your nuts!! I love it not sure how that gearbox is still working though... must be all the sweet talking you did to it cheers for the footage :D Yep it's still going strong! Although i hardly use the car so has probably only done 500 miles since the track day. The gearbox is fine apart from weak syncromesh in 3rd, and also in 4th, but much worse in 3rd as you could probably tell. Spare gearbox is on standby but i aint fitting it till the current one is completely broke! Half the problem is that there's such a big ratio drop between 2nd & 3rd gears so putting a bigger strain on the synchro rings (or whatever they're called). The other half is my unsympathetic driving!! |

Nice footage, I too also wanna go to the next one, but just wonder how a auto box estate will perform Yasmine It was an invite only event AFAIK. We got invited via the Autobahstormers. If you have a 6-cylinder Carlton then i would join! One of our members had an automatic Senator round the track, he went pretty well!! |
