Awesome! Much better after Robbie Williams has stopped singing - can hear the real music!

[jamesketchell]

Yeah i used that track intro as a small teaser download earlier, but then thought what the hell, let the Tubi play its own music

Good decision! Downloading the big version now!

Only downside is that you have made me hugely jealous!

Delicious. That and the clic-clac of the gearbox.
Seems to be totally unsensitive to understeer, too.
Any reliability issues since you've had it ?

[jamesketchell]

Car has been fantastic. Very early on had a premature clutch wear issue which was solved after much arguing. since then ive dont 4k trouble free miles. May and we're off on the gumball!!! Camera attached

James,

Great clip. Just noticed you had a manual. Did you testdrive the egear? Any thoughts of the diff (+'s and -'ves) between the two?

[Davey S1]

Love the 'clack' clack' noise of the gear changes.

Nice vid

If you enjoyed that clip just wait till i get back from the Gumball in May

After the F1 box in the 360 i had, i swore I'd never go semi auto again. I know the egear is said to be an improvement, but its still known to eat clutches and i enjoy the challenge of the metal gate

James, I don't doubt you find the manual better to drive that your old F1, but to say e-gear eats clutches isn't quite right. I've seen complaints on the forums about failed clutches from manual drivers (including yours) but only one e-gear owner called Chris. The e-gears might have (had) software problems, but I haven't seen anyone tell of a replacement clutch for an e-gear on Lambochat, Lambo Power, or Lambo Talk other than Chris.

Here's a thread on clutch problems - the cars are manuals, not e-gears.

Sorry i was repeating the conversation i had with the UK service agent this month. Not my own personal opinions. As you know I'm well aware of clutch wear on the earlier cars, manual or otherwise.
