5th? How quaint.

My rental at the weekend only had a 5 speed box. 3 short of what I'm used to.

8 gears?

Stone me I can remember when you were lucky to get 4, and the 1st was crash, just to see if you could change gear properly.

Not to mention column changes of course.

So I won't.

Doesn't it have a spread of torgue or is it so peaky that you need 8 gears just to get the fecker moving?

Like a 50cc motorbike.

I grunted a bit.

Morning denizens

Sunny out, but rather chilly - though it seems to have warmed up a couple of degrees in the last hour or so, it's still only 11°C

My current one is column change (kinda)



The metal curved bar behind the Start/Stop is the column shift to change down.

Morning all

Clear blue skies and sunshine here in Surrey, but it's chilly out

Omm!

We have a new batch of them too - meant that parking this morning was a pain as the main staff car park was also being used for arrivals to halls down that end of town too.

And they're wandering around everywhere. It's a shock to the system after our nice quiet campus over summer.

Indeed.

However the windmill boat is being unloaded at the moment which makes it slightly more entertaining.

Fecking big things those windmills.

There was a fan bladed being hoisted by two cranes just now.

I can't see what it's being unloaded onto because the view is obscured by a warehouse.

There's another load of tree trunks being unloaded too.

I'd forgotten that it had a dash mounted umbrella handle handbrake.

I only popped in for Monday links.

You're a bit premature.

Its a fair cop guv.

I had it in my head that it was usually around 11am. But looking back it seems noon to 1pm is more common.

We need to wait for NF to wake up properly first :-)
