compared to before yes - a hill that I could only just take in second can now be taken in third - weird

mind you I hopped back in the Jag and almost went out the back window when I put my foot down - I suppose its what you get used to

It's the lean of the earth.
As the southern hemisphere comes into summer the earth leans flatter towards the sun, so your moke doesn't have so hard a time getting up that hill.

Also you will find that it is now faster driving from Melbourne back to Sydney.

I learnt this from Dr Sumner-Miller, he knows his stuff.
