Duncan

If you go here --> Car Stuff (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andy.dargue1/index.htm)
and look in the General section, there's some footage of the V8 in action.

It was very windy so the audio's not the best.

Hi Duncan. I.ve never had any prob with the cluch m8 i reckon it mey be down to me using it a lot an mebbi it was a bit tight but as u see theres NO slip what so ever now. can u downlod that footage onto your site m8 coz i cant get on to andys to veiw it (Summat to do with flash not working on my PC http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/confused.gif ) so i aint seen it yet. Ta. Rick.

duncan
15-10-2002, 11:08
god knows what was going on with that clutch then http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/confused.gif it slipped like a bitch when i had it maybe it was on kicking in properly or just needed some use i only done about 20 miles in it before you bought it.
i have uploaded the movies on my site http://www.classicrsfords.co.uk/movies.htm

Hands off folks...the V8 went sarf once and the next time it moves it will just be moving sideways a little...Its a Northern swapping kind of thing!! http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/wink.gif

Duncan, I also dont know what you mean about the clutch?? I drove the car loads and it never slipped once. It was my daily driver and also took me to AVo day and back with no problems and also dont forget i drove it all the way to your house so it had been used prior to you driving it also?? The steering was heavy heavy yeah, but it was getting better with use and like Rick says we eat lots of pies!!

I've also lowered it a touch

Andy, I actually like it mate!! I know its not bloack but would be worth a try with a few cans of paint to see what it would look like in the flesh?? I am getting booked in for a paint job in the new year so its another option.

Mmmm Castrol !! http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Oh and a message to my Dundonian mucka, yep I have 5 blues now cos I bought back the V8 a few months back. Us northern lads like to pass our toys about you know!!
