    What is the obsession with this particular video from FOUR years ago! We don’t pretend to be perfect, and to be honest I’m getting pretty bored with some of the comments (and why none on Alex’s runs?!).
    Please go and watch some of our other videos 😁

    If you blip the revs as you change down gear's it won't grind the gearbox so harshly

    Good run in a quick little car, the worst i have ever owned mine was nothing like this tho 😂 Something about a quick woman in a car Michelle Moulton, and my ist bosses wife Libby Fielding, fond memories nice one Jenny ❤

    Jenny, this just popped up at random! Very cleanly driven. Hope you’re all well.

      Hey Jerry! Ah the algorithms know we know each other 😉 Very well thank you, not sailing at all now but love the speed hill climbing, been doing it 10 years now!
      Still at RORC though.
      Hope all is well with you.

    Fantastic 1 litre screamer. I suppose it's a compromise- double de-clutching would extend it's life, but add 4 to 5 seconds to the time! (I definitely couldn't do clutchless changes, i'd choose the slow way) Other factors involved obviously, such as how many spare 'boxes are on the shelf at home..

    Brilliant,run,poor gearbox,some sincrows in the gearbox might help,but bloody good run.

      It’s a dog box 😊 we could be doing clutchless changes but my brain can’t cope it after 40 years of using a clutch!

      @@ImpishAdventures well done then,clean run though,enjoyed the video,thanks.

    Painful down changes. Ten minutes practice on a quiet road blipping the throttle with the outside of the right foot would sort it out. Doesn't have to be a dog box - any manual box in pretty well any car will do. Anyone can do it, it's just a matter of bothering to practice.

    Felt sorry for that gearbox...

    • @chrisb8075
      @chrisb8075 Před rokem +5

      It's a dog box so no synchro, and it benefits from quick firm changes, preferably without the clutch.

      Taking the gearbox apart to lighten the internals is very overrated! Just smash it into gear and then drain all the bits out - job done!

      At least all the bits are in the one box.

    i would move the seat closer to the wheel, easier gear changing without having to move your whole body to change gear, as you affect the attitude of the car

    Awful gear changing ability and cornering gear selection ability. I think she needs a few lessons on how to change gear.
    I do love an imp though.
