        Talking of brakes - I nearly went through the windscreen when I replaced my 307 with the 308. Brakes are much better than the 307 - yet the 307 still passed the MOT.

        Thought I'd also throw in this picture - I'm not sure why - he just looks so cute :cat-kittyandsmiley::dunno:

                  It's a six but she can corner almost as fast as the straight. The overdrive is mega. On the 400 series highway up at 130 I'm still just over 2000 on the tach. Thank goodness for the dead peddle to steady ones self, on the corners. She hugs the road the faster you go.

                  Now, the cuda has a 440-6. Nother experience.

                    I had to look up dead pedal, didn't think I had one, but I have.
                    Only driven an automatic once, and I nearly fell asleep:biggrin:

                    But my dead pedal gets in the way if I drive wearing my work boots, go to push the clutch in and the side of my boot catches on it.
                    Not enough room down there.:biggrin:

                      I wear size 5 1/2 so no issue. Had fun with a Cadillac CTV 6 gear model. Loads of fun. I am somehow resticted on this forum so I can't add emojins but if I could, it would be wiley coyote with a rocket pack on his back.

                      Hmmm, maybe I'm being told to pee off ...slow learner nere!

                      No restrictions, but we are having some issues with images loading that I cannot for the life of me work out just yet. I cannot load certain jpg images for love nor money, yet if I open them on my PC, do a screen print, save them as a different filename they will load just fine.

                      Are you having trouble with your avatar pic too?

                      Oh, I best get this back on topic......... hospital parking charges are abhorrent.


                      Oh wait, wrong thread - - - Goodyear!

                        Stick to the intervals that Ford recommend then

                        Lighter means better handling - simples! Lower overall mass, lower centre of gravity and better weight distribution. Improve it even more (without losing ride quality) by fitting some quality uprated shock absorbers.

                        Don't you use your left foot for the brakes then :dunno:

                        If god had meant us to drive manual cars he would have given us three legs and feet. Obvious innit!

                              When I click to post, the whole typing area turns yellow and tnere are zero options for adding smileys etc. Something changed in the last month. Maybe admin didn't like something. Who knows!
