Malcolm that is a good setup! I am jealous of the amount of space in there with no engine installed! The gear shifting is something to get used to for sure, we don't have much space so if I can get into third I feel like I am going 100mph! Gear changes require double clutching but unlike a normal highway truck as soon as you push in the clutch and move the stick to neutral the tank instantly loses momentum and if you aren't quick you are stopping, starting in the basement and trying again. Normally you can start out on flat ground in second gear which really helps, the upshift from 1-2 i find quite difficult but 2-3 is a snap now...Tony you have burst my fuel mileage pipe dream, but what you say makes sense and explains why we are in this mess...disbelief! Perhaps I will have to start including a fuel level check on first parade!
