Hi guys,

 

Just on my way back from the bristol meet.

 

Saw a jag xk8 on the way home on an unlisted private stretch of road, looked similar to the motorway.

 

He was being a bit of a twat and under taking me and cutting me up then slowing down for a bizzare reason.

 

Anyways after a while, I called him a ****er and floored it, it seemed like within seconds, 140+ was on the clock, the revs rising to the red line.

 

I was confused that my car wasnt changing gear, it was pulling like **** and I was happy about that but confused as to why I had no fourth gear?

 

I slowed up confused. Then saw the yellow light on the dash, DOH!

 

What a twat lol, must have been one of them subconscious actions turning it off lol.

 

But anyway, other than me being a nob. Have you auto drivers ever floored it on the motorway with OD off? my god it flies, I can not beleive how well third pulls to 140 from about 70mph, its like second gear to 90 all over again. I was gobsmacked! I uaually always have OD on on the motorway because of the high speeds and fuel economy, but with it off third is a complete demon all the way to the red line!!!!! and probably well into it!

 

Call me stupid, but its not often you get the chance to accelerate to over 140 with overdrive off, by then it usualy changes you into fourth, but there is no need :D
