OK I got a bit "over-interested" in this one

Dare I say it but most haven't...

I used the syncro yesterday to do the regular 150 mile round trip eround the M25 and A21. Performed faultlessly once again and suprisingly economical!
(if only everything in life was as reliable as a DG )
Definitely a bit "scrubby" in Tunbridge Wells services forecourt on the way back though. Come to think of it, getting full lock when backing out this morning was rather heavy too.
Sod the data, it's done 100k, I think I need a fresh VC

My first syncro was like that but never spoilt the enjoyment of driving it .....

I expect to swap out my VC soon as it has 285000 kms on it. If anyone wants to take it to bits and do a post mortem on it, be my guest.

LOL ... Ive just wet myself from laughing at that Clive ...............

Incontinence is a terrible thing, maybe silverbullet can work out how much pressure you can hold with a piece of string. We need data !!!!!
