The shape of the sills on my car are *ever* so slightly off from one another due to the body shop not being perfectionists. I thought I was okay with it.

I'm not

The pressings are probably British Motor Heritage ones, and while I believe they use original tooling, said tooling was over 40 years old by the time they finished production, so it wouldn't surprise me if it'd been hosed around with/bodge repaired a lot over the years.

It's the kind of thing that you'd never normally notice. Apparently, a huge number of AC Cobra replicas in the UK have different length doors either side - because several companies' moulds for the fibreglass can be traced back to this one accident-repaired original Cobra. When BMW built the Dixie as a licensed version of the Austin 7, it looks almost identical, but if you compare the engine bays, a load of stuff is on the "wrong" side.

I think I've mentioned/quoted from it before, I finally found it: the 1997 Motor Trend story on the street-legal sprint car.

quote:

Except for a letter-slot area straight ahead, everything was a total blur: The letter-slot area was a partial blur.

quote:

The automatic transmission (which I straddled as if riding a large dog) can�t shift for itself, so I was expected to read the digital tach (which was updating information so fast it said �8888� all the time), reach between my legs, and push the lever ahead one gear.

quote:

A major transmission fluid leak problem (the second-degree burns healed nicely, thank you) prevented us from doing handling or stopping distance tests.

That seems to be a fairly normal trend. Car company comes out with a new small car. In successive generations the car gets more features, gets larger, heavier, and more expensive. A few years later car company comes out with a new small car.

I'm sure the graph of crash ratings would rise up faster than the weight. I think the used car market works -- enthusiasts willing to have worse crash protection get to buy the cheaper cooler cars they want.

There isn't the traditional clunk into gear you get with a regular manual transmisson. you have to rev match up and down, and if you do it right you don't feel anything at all.

It has less gates than a 6 speed + R, it's basically a 4 speed with a switch to double it up, and a dog leg granny gear below reverse. Once you've started, you shift it like a 4 speed, slow stop and go it's a 4 speed in the bottom box, highway fighting hills it's a 4 speed in the top box. you have a splitter in each gear if you need it, but most trucks don't, which is why you see more 10 and 13 speeds in highway trucks.

I'd love to see a heart rate monitor from them for the seconds before, during, and after. They have them on the V8 Supercar drivers for some races (or at least they used to) and you'd see guys sitting at 130-140 for most of the lap and spiking past 200 during some of the real pucker-inducing moments.

The feel of inertia in a bus shifter with a solid linkage is really unnerving for the first bit but it grows on you fast. Only manual bus I ever drove was a GM Fishbowl with the 4 speed though so no aux action.
