Must have been from Saturday night when you all shot through and left me in the club on my own. :lol:

Sad news about the motor, at least you made it home and got to do some laps of Wakefield as well.

On my way home from Goulburn I came to the conclusion my Speedo and Tacho must be out. :?
70MPH was a bit less than 4000RPM and I was keeping up with the traffic.
At 5000RPM the speedo is showing 90MPH. :shock: But it does go well at 5000RPM. :wink:

That was the biggest drive I have done in my car and I was so pleased with it. Steering needs a bit of tweaking but the motor just didn't miss a beat.

Got it to 160kmh :D

I can assume this is a typo? and you really meant to say 110kmh.. :wink:

I sat on 100 -105 and was overtaken by several Cooper S's. :twisted: Had to wait until I saw an 850 in the distance until I could claim to having overtaken anybody!

No tacho so I will have to work out how many revs that is in the Deluxe (3.76 diff?)

According to GearCalc 100kph should be 4113rpm and 110kph should be 4524rpm. (assuming 165/70-10 tyres) So somewhere around that!

Going down to WP I came up on another red `Matic with Canberra plates, it was doing about 90kmh up a hill and the driver was `whipping it' out the window. These things were not great on hills...
So, I just rounded him up in 4th gear and accelerated up the hill. :P

Classic 'Matic V Was-a-Matic shootout.

Would have loved to see that

Air Con on and cruise control set at 121km/h (allowing for known speedo error).

Oh, the Moke bouncing around on the trailer. :)

Bad luck with the motor carter. Hope it all works out OK for you.

Been on the road since Monday morning, still not home :cry: Stuck in Townsville, got here today, roads closed north & south of Cardwell. Might open tomorrow, otherwise Saturday. Was talking to a truckie at the truckstop at Cluden (where there are many trucks), he's been there since Tuesday :shock: Bugger that.

Otherwise, no drama, pretty easy run. Was a great event and great to catch up with and meet many ausminier's.
