Took a 200-mile-round journey to Andy's to pick up bits for a manual conversion - with only 1st and 2nd gears working - and didnt have a single problem!!! :bow: :bow:

 

Imagine spending half an hour at a time at 5000rpm in 2nd gear on the A-roads :eek: :slap: then popping into N for a downhill bit or when approaching a roundabout, then back into 2 at full blast again!

 

Needless to say I set my tubby timer to about 5 hours wind-down afterwards!!!

:eek: Glad it all went well! :)

 

Don't blame you about the timer, I bet them tubbies were glowing!

aye, wasnt fun, especially on the way back with about 100kg of manual gearbox in the boot!!!

 

any guesses at the total value of petrol used?

LOL, Fekkin crazy man!

 

Shudda asked me, ive got an old mondeo estate that i dont mind getting oily and im still off work at the mo!!

 

:p

Good on ya Dave, hope it didnt cost to much mate and ya Tubs are ok now ;)

The manual conversion will make that journey seem worth while in the long run mate ;)

how the fook did you fit a gearbox in the boot, was it spare wheel out and everything. :confused:

Got a gearbox in the boot in my SWB plenty of rooom lol

Nice one Dave, like Chunk said, you should have given him a shout rather than trashing your boot!! At least you made it though!!

 

When I took the Auto box off my motor, two of us struggled to carry the fooking thing, does anyone know the actual weight of the autobox? I really wouldnt want to put that in my boot!

 

That'd be like Chunk AND Macca in the back!! :D

Opec have decided to put up peetrol prices due to the high demand for fuel. Apparently some Fooker emptied their reserves. :shock: :shock: :smash: :smash:
