You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

There's no way mine goes over 100mph :shock: and it won't go near that rpm in Top/Overdrive :roll:
Through the gears using kickdown I sometimes just let it have it's way :D It's brilliant when you've got an a**eh*le leaning on your rear bumper while trying to join the motorway, you just let'em have it :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I deliberately restrict myself as much as I can so as not to exceed 3000rpm by releasing my foot slightly off the gas. This makes the box change up a gear :wink: and helps keep consumption down :D

:idea: Mind you, if I took the ladders off :?: Nah :!: Don't wanna go there :wink:
